Hi Gaetano,

Thank you for your reply.

As all aliases are created at the time we upload an image with the online editor, I was amazed not seeing all aliases in the storage directory after uploading an image from an image dataype.

I just tested the on-the-fly image creation and, of course, it works perfectly.
