What is the issue?

test
When I try to give an image file to a model with the "vision" tag, it says that it can't access files on my computer.

I've tried with llava 7b, llava 13b, and llama3.2-vision (all times I tried were on a terminal)

If it helps, I'm using a card with 8gb of vram, and have 32gb of DIMM ram

OS

Windows

GPU

Nvidia

CPU

Intel

Ollama version

0.4.3

Actually, I just noticed that you are passing a .ico file. The only image formats ollama understands are JPG and PNG.
