yes, on reflection, i agree​👍

my forum stores uploads locally on the server, so i have complete confidence in Discourse’s tarball backup file.

Therefore, i had this issue, but neither knew the workaround or had the preliminary insight that you do to make a meta topic!

so congratulations on your first topic, and solving what was once a big issue in my use of PWA
