Identifier	#3102
Issue type	Feature request or suggestion
Title	Adding custom images
Status	Closed (no changes needed)
Handling member	Chris Graham
Addon	catalogues
Description	Creating fields for a catalogue, it seems that when selecting the source location to add an image that none of the custom locations (data_custom/images or themes/default/images/custom) are presented in the list, nor are new directories created in these locations. Not sure if this is by design or an oversight, but I would prefer to ftp my images and then pick them accordingly if that would be possible.
Steps to reproduce
Funded?	No

Try going to Admin Zone > Style > Manage Themes > Edit theme images (default theme) first. That should make it do a scan and pick up any new directories.

Empty the block cache and any new directories will then appear as a field type. This is now documented.

Note that the root theme image directories will not show, it has to be a subdirectory. I don't want to encourage massive proliferation of images in the root theme image directory.
