You haven’t missed anything no. I have removed it on purpose as it was sending too much data to the network for the CRUD. For example if an average photo image is 2MB, then a simple CRUD with 25 rows will do requests for 50MB and 25 unique requests. Another reason that I’ve removed it is that it was having a higher height of the row.
I maybe will have a configuration in the future to have it enabled or disabled. To be completely honest though I had in mind to implement Image CRUD (Image CRUD for Codeigniter) with Grocery CRUD Enterprise but I never found the time unfortunately
