[Image Uploader] Dropdown not working - Suggestion to move search field to above images
Answered/Implemented
Logging this on behalf of Keith.
1. Move search field (actually, rename to "search by keyword/phrase") to a more prominent location, e.g. just above the images.
And/Or
2. Hint to users to use the search field, esp Pixabay screen (where API call for preview image may be unsuccessful). We can add a text to indicate these are sample images, and they can find more just by searching.
3. The Filters of categories are not working yet, so best to hide them for now.

1. Move search field (actually, rename to "search by keyword/phrase") to a more prominent location, e.g. just above the images.
Understandably, the flow is a little strange now. For the current flow, when we type in a keyword on the top search bar and hit Enter, it searches for the keyword within Gametize Image Library and Pixabay Image Library. You will have to click into the individual libraries themselves to view the searched images.
We will be moving the search field down into the different libraries itself, or as you have said, just above the images.
Doing so, if I search for "airport" in Gametize Image Library, I will find images tagged with "airport". If I go into the Pixabay Image Library, I will be expected to type in the keyword again to search for "airport"-tagged images in Pixabay. Jumping between the Image Libraries should not reset either's search filters.
The search fields will be renamed to "search by keyword/phrase" too.
2. Hint to users to use the search field, esp Pixabay screen (where API call for preview image may be unsuccessful). We can add a text to indicate these are sample images, and they can find more just by searching.
I do not exactly understand this request. Can you offer screenshots and explanations as to the problems you intend to solve, and how you came to this proposed solution?
3. The Filters of categories are not working yet, so best to hide them for now.
Currently, we only have the Category filter in the Gametize Image Library. We have tested this with a VIP Project and a Free Plan Project, and the filter seems to be working fine. Thus, we will be keeping the Category filter for the Gametize Image Library for now.
If this has not been resolved yet on your side, do provide screenshots and explanations with how we can re-create your problems!

Additionally,
1. Listing out of other tools and libraries the users can use (eg freepik, flaticon, canva?)
As far as the direction for tools and libraries we can use, I will leave this under the purview of the Product Manager.
2. Provision of image url field so users can quickly copy
Can you provide a use case for copying the URL of images in our libraries? It seems like this request pertains to freely using the images in our libraries beyond permitted content like Project Image, Topic Image etc. The legality and licensing of the API may have to reviewed for that too.
3. Google image search (but need disclaimer copyrights must be reviewed)
Similar to 1, this pertains to the future direction for our libraries so we can leave this to the Product Manager's discretions.
