Description

I'm reposting this from #232618: ImageCache 2.0 Beta status:

Just realized that the 2.0 code doesn't let you operate on image that aren't in the "files" directory. I'd been hoping to include include a default "missing" image with my module and create derivative images for it, I guess I'll just have to copy it to the files directory in the .install file... Kind of a bummer though.

Dopry responded that this was a bug and not by design. So basically the problem seems to be that the module doesn't parse paths that aren't in the files directory you just get white screens with no PHP errors.

I have a multi-site installation, so would really, really like to keep files separate for each site. Thanks for posting this, because I tried everything to get ImageCache to work and realized it had something to do with the directory and likely that it only worked with the files directory. Even a subfolder in that directory doesn't do the trick. Any chance this will be resolved soon?
