Problem Description

Ingesting docs via Docling integration ignores pictures right now. But there is now "do_picture_description" feature to make a picture description via VLM in Docling and then add it into the context.

This should be a simple fix that would improve RAG retrieval a lot!

Desired Solution you'd like

add Docling's "do_picture_description" bool switch, potentially into Documents settings UI.
