I use an IF statement as profile images. If no custom image, then use a generated image. In the examples below, “User Image” is Lookup to the Profiles tab “Image”.

Using the Tiles feature with an Inline list, when the Avatar is a generated image it fills the Tile image. It happens with Mesh and Triangles.

I have also reported this last week. Hopefully it gets resolved soon because the image keeps expanding and errs out after a minute.

I have these all over my app and they’re failing to display. Here’s another screenshot from this morning. The image DOES generate in the data editor but doesn’t display in the image component. Or am I using it wrong? Kindly advise… upside_down_face

Sorry about that! I should have looked to see if this bug was reported already.

In the meantime, I simply removed the avatar image if not necessary. If necessary, I would lookup the custom image and use that.

No worries - I do that all the time. I just wanted to add the thread here so if Glide team reads this, they have the video I made too. 😅

@Mark @Antonio — This is still an issue. Generate Image column results in an unconfined image when inserted into the Avatar field of cards view:
