Check Existing Issues

  • I have searched for any existing and/or related issues.
  • I have searched for any existing and/or related discussions.
  • I have also searched in the CLOSED issues AND CLOSED discussions and found no related items (your issue might already be addressed on the development branch!).
  • I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.

Installation Method

Git Clone

Open WebUI Version

v0.7.2

Ollama Version (if applicable)

latest

Operating System

Win11

Browser (if applicable)

Edge,IOS, Zen

Confirmation

  • I have read and followed all instructions in README.md.
  • I am using the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
  • I have included the browser console logs.
  • I have included the Docker container logs.
  • I have provided every relevant configuration, setting, and environment variable used in my setup.
  • I have clearly listed every relevant configuration, custom setting, environment variable, and command-line option that influences my setup (such as Docker Compose overrides, .env values, browser settings, authentication configurations, etc).
  • I have documented step-by-step reproduction instructions that are precise, sequential, and leave nothing to interpretation. My steps:
  • Start with the initial platform/version/OS and dependencies used,
  • Specify exact install/launch/configure commands,
  • List URLs visited, user input (incl. example values/emails/passwords if needed),
  • Describe all options and toggles enabled or changed,
  • Include any files or environmental changes,
  • Identify the expected and actual result at each stage,
  • Ensure any reasonably skilled user can follow and hit the same issue.

Expected Behavior

User uploads new image or reference a specific image in chat > model should focus on that image.

Actual Behavior

When user uploads new image to chat, and the model has native tool calling, it should refrence that image and do an image_edit tool call, instead, its uses older image and not the uploaded image.

Steps to Reproduce

1,Create any image in chat
2.Upload new image and ask for changes.
3.LLM will still work on first image

Logs & Screenshots

Not sure its related to the old issues, when there is no prior images its working, the issue is happening by first generating an image and then uploading a different image

Having the same issue, it only edits images that are also generated by the AI. If I attach an image (in a fresh chat) and ask to edit it, it will just generate something new. But it's weird because it worked once when I took a picture with my phone from within the app and asked to modify that, but all the other times it also didn't work that way.

EDIT, this appears to be the issue:

No this issue is different.

In fresh chat, I can edit uploaded images, once even one image has been generated it wont allow image editing.

It has nothing to do with temporary chats
