**Your software**  
My Mautic version is: 3.0  
My PHP version is: 7.3.20

**Your problem**  
My problem is:  
When editing an email in 3.0 + and trying to add an new or saved image into the mail, the new file manager does not save the selected image into the email.

This has not happend using the old file manager.

I’ve also tried it in [https://mautibox.com/staging/](https://mautibox.com/staging/) and got the same errors

These errors are showing in the log:

Steps I have tried to fix the problem:

Hi there,

Please share your PHP version by editing the original post?

I can replicate this on Mautbox, I’ll see if it is already raised on Github as a bug.

Just added this on Github but in case other folk are needing a workaround, this issue happens with image slots, you can add an image to a text slot without having this problem. So that might be a viable workaround until we get this addressed 🙂
