In the past we would create a file called "FileSystemProviders.config" and add a node for the "Media" folder to be called "images" for SEO purposes. Now in V8, we see documentation to do this with a class. I have followed the instruction and the image are being uploaded to the "images" folder, BUT the thumbnail in back office is showing the default icon instead of the image!
I have done some research and determined that the "umbracoMediaVersion" table is not being updated with the image file path which is causing the issue. If I remove the above class from the application the images are back to being uploaded to the "Media" folder and the icons work in the back office. It seems that only part of Umbraco now understands that there is a new "images" folder.
My question is why the change from something that was an easy fix to something that is a lot of trouble to trouble shoot and the instruction to create a custom media folder only solves part of the is issue and causes a new one to come up.
How do we change the "media" folder to "images" so that all Umbraco works as it used too?
Custom media folder name
