NetSendo v1.6.9: The New Enterprise Media Library

Are you tired of hunting for the right logo or campaign image across endless folders? Managing brand assets, especially across multiple clients or product lines, can quickly become a chaotic mess that slows down your marketing workflow. Consistency suffers, and valuable time is lost.

That's why we're thrilled to introduce the flagship feature of NetSendo v1.6.9: the Enterprise Media Library. This is more than just a folder for your uploads; it's a central command center for all your brand assets, designed to make you faster, more consistent, and more efficient.

🚀 What's New in NetSendo v1.6.9

This release is focused on providing enterprise-grade tools to manage your marketing assets at scale, right within the NetSendo platform you already control. No need for third-party digital asset management (DAM) systems—it's all built-in.

The Enterprise Media Library: Your Central Asset Hub

The Media Library is the heart of this update. It provides a single source of truth for all your visual content. You can now upload assets via drag-and-drop, organize them in folders, and filter by brand or media type (Image, Logo, Icon, Document).

One of the most powerful features is automatic color extraction. When you upload an image, NetSendo uses a k-means clustering algorithm to analyze it and automatically generate a palette of its 8 most dominant colors. This is perfect for styling email templates to perfectly match your campaign visuals.

Seamless WYSIWYG Editor Integration

We've bridged the gap between your assets and your content creation. The email editor's image insertion tool now includes a "Browse media library" button. This opens a modal where you can visually select any image from your library. There's even a dedicated button to "Insert logo from library," which intelligently filters to show only assets you've marked as a logo.

ℹ️ Note: We also fixed a long-standing issue where image style options (like width, alignment, and border-radius) were not saved correctly in the WYSIWYG editor. Your image formatting will now be preserved perfectly.

Critical Fix for Docker Installations

For our users who self-host with Docker, we've solved a critical issue causing 404 errors for images uploaded in the Template Builder. Due to how Docker handles volumes, symlinks between storage and public directories were not working. We have re-engineered the NGINX configuration to properly serve these files, ensuring your images always load.

# Example of the new NGINX configuration
location /storage {
    alias /var/www/html/storage/app/public;
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}
