An image field like the one in Coda is essential. The thumbnail of the image should be visible in the table view, while in the full-screen entity view, the image should be displayed at a larger size.

Are these the same request or slightly different?  
I understood yours @Sarah_Arminta to be related to showing external images (via url) whereas @DiegoKamp 's to be related to showing thumbnails of images that have been uploaded to Fibery.

Well, I guess it depends on how the OP wants to add the image.

Images have been added to a board view, it’s ok, but what about other views? And especially WhiteBoard. I can add an entity, but in many cases, it could be useful to add an image preview on the entity card.

Yes, I really think the reasonably good image support in Board View should be extended to basically all views possible (e.g. on entity “cards” in Whiteboard). Also the addition of a “Gallery” view:

Wondering if it might be possible to do a “compact” version of that view, with the items in a grid. I can get something like it in Airtable - they call it Gallery view, and you can add images, but I don’t need images for my work in Fibery. And I don’t mean a Kanban style view with columns - just a plain old grid of por…
