Describe the bug
Even though there are images in /static/img, and "frontMatter.content.publicFolder": "static" is specified in frontmatter.json, nothing is showing up in the Media Dashboard.

When I manually specify /static/img/mypic.jpeg for the preview field in the front matter for my blog post the image is shown as I would expect in the Content Preview.

In fact, nothing I do has any impact on the Media Dashboard whatsoever; when I create a new media folder, nothing happens. As far as I can tell, the Media Dashboard is completely broken and non-functional

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Install FrontMatter extension
  2. Follow instructions to initialize project
  3. Create a new blog post with some content
  4. Attempt to use the Media Dashboard (I'm sorry, I don't know how to describe it other than that - absolutely nothing in the Media Dashboard works as far as I can tell)

Expected behavior

  1. Dragging & dropping an image in the Media Dashboard window results in anything other than the "No Media to display" message.
  2. Specifying a new/different media folder has any impact on where the Media Dashboard gets media from (no matter what I do, it only ever shows /static/img as the only path for media)

Device:

  • OS: macOS 15.5
  • Front Matter CMS Version: 10.8.0
  • Browser: Safari

Additional context
My project is using Docusaurus 3.8.1. It is a fresh project - no overrides for Docusaurus configs. And, as far as I'm aware, I have no VSCode settings that would conflict with FrontMatter (nothing FrontMatter-related in my VSCode settings).
