I want to (re)use an image (âpartner-logos.pngâ which lives in â/assets/images/â) with an alt text. But when I use a txt file (âpartner-logos.png.en-US.txtâ) and use <?= $image->alt(); ?> in my template it gives an error (âThe method: âaltâ does not existâ). How would I go around this without adding the alt text itself in the template?
Metadata files only work for files in the content folder, not for files in /assets etc.
It might make sense to move this file to the content folder instead.
A bit inconvenient, because it needs to be the same in different places. Or maybe I could add a translation. It is strange images in assets are ânot allowedâ to have an alt text.
If you add it to the site instead of a page, it shouldnât be a problem?

In that case you can store it at the top content level so where site.txt lives. You can then access the image directly doing $site->image('partner-logos.png') or in one of the other available methods.

It is not strange because assets is outside of the scope of the content and the kirby panel only deals with content stored inside the content folder.
