I have a dataset that has ~40k images. I want to upload them all using arifacts, i used run.add\_dir(“path\_to\_dir\_with\_images”). I also have a csv that contains the labels of these images as well as the name of the image. Is there a way to create a wandb.Table so that i can explore this csv but also to have a column called images that has a reference to the images from the artifact via the file name. So that when i do EDA i can look at the images that are in the artifact instead of adding a column “images” to the csv and populating it with wandb.Image objects and then uploading it as a wandb.Table? ---

Hey Milos, Thank you for bringing that up! I will be looking into it internally and let you know as soon as possible. ---

Hey Milos, Thank you very much for your patience! Yes, there is a way you can create a **wandb.Table** that references images in your artifact via their file names. ---

@bill-morrisson . Same here, I’m very interested in how to do this, as, in my case, the full table including wandb.Image objects does not fit in memory. ---
