(The more descriptive your answer, the faster we are able to help you)
I’m currently upgrading out WebViewer version from 7.2.0 to 8.7.0. Our front end is in typescript/React. Previously, PNG files loaded without any problem. After upgrading however, I get the below error.

webviewer-core.min.js:2383 Uncaught (in promise) Error: Failed to load image
    at e.onerror (webviewer-core.min.js:2383:454)

Any help would be appreciated. Is there any extra logic needed in the latest version to handle loading images? Here’s the call that fails:

webViewer.Core.documentViewer.loadDocument(data.source, {
	docId: data.id,
	filename: data.name,
	onError
});

Please provide a link to a minimal sample where the issue is reproducible:

Hi @nick.herbert,

Thanks for reaching out with this report. This was an issue we fixed for 8.6 but it was not ported to 8.7. I have now ported the fix, which should be available in our nightly stable builds in the next 24 hours.

In the meantime you can use 8.6.1, which will have this fix.

Hi, do you know when this fix will be available in a stable release build (i.e. not a nightly build)? We’ve had to downgrade to 8.4.1 because this is the last stable release that actually works with PNGs/JPGs. I tested 8.7.0, 8.6.1, 8.6.0 and 8.5.0 and none would load image png/jpg image files.

Hello @nick.herbert,

All our stable nightly builds are safe for production. Our next releases, 8.8. is scheduled for the end of this month.
