[GUI] This model can read pictures, but the engine installed here does not include the picture reader yet #4772
Strata displays this message when I load DeepSeek V4.1 Flash:
"This model can read pictures, but the engine installed here does not include the picture reader yet, so Read pictures is off. Update the engine in Settings > About to turn it on."
Text generation works normally, but picture reading remains unavailable.
Environment
Strata version: 0.2.8
Engine version: 0.1.54
Model: DeepSeek V4.1 Flash IST-DAS 2.00 bpw
Operating system: Windows
Engine executable: strata-dsv41.exe
Troubleshooting performed
Updated the engine through Settings > About > Update engine.
Checked the model's installation JSON.
Set ui_vision_enabled to true.
Set ui_vision_device to "yes".
Changed --vision off to --vision on in both args and args_written.
The JSON now contains --vision on, but Strata still displays the same warning.
Expected behavior
Strata should recognise the model's vision capability and enable picture reading when the installed engine supports it.
Actual behavior
The warning remains visible and picture reading is unavailable, even with --vision on in the model configuration.
Question
Is this a GUI capability-detection issue, an engine issue, or is an additional vision component or configuration required on Windows?
Thanks for the issue. To keep the tracker readable, every item needs an area prefix in the title and the parts of the issue form filled in. This one is missing:
Start the title with its area: [Engine], [GUI], [TUI], [Benchmark], [Docs] or [Other], then a short description. Example: "[Engine] decode stops after 2 minutes".
Edit the issue (title and description) and this note goes away on its own. If it is still missing parts in 5 days it will be closed, which is not a rejection: fix it and comment /reopen.
