Image control accepts external URLs

The Image control now accepts an external image URL in addition to files from the Makeswift files manager, so images hosted elsewhere — a CDN, a product catalog, or another site — can be used without uploading them first.

  • Files and URL tabs — The panel’s URL tab takes any image URL; the Files tab still opens the files manager.
  • Same prop shape — With the default Image.Format.URL format, your component still receives a string URL, so no component changes are needed.
  • Dimensions caveat — With Image.Format.WithDimensions, an external image that carries no width and height resolves to undefined and the runtime logs a warning.
