A common use case is how to access and use the image library.
Images may be thought of as content, yet when you go to admin/content there are pages to manage content and even files, but not images and the image library.
This can be a difficulty for newcomers, especially those from Wordpress.
So where is the image browser?
Looking at the Backdrop documentation, "Using Backdrop" at https://docs.backdropcms.org/documentation/using-backdrop there is a page on working with files, https://docs.backdropcms.org/documentation/working-with-files but no page on working with images and the image browser.
This prompted me to open an issue, https://github.com/backdrop-ops/docs.backdropcms.org/issues/238 and @stpaultim explains, the image browser is not really a thing. He added a couple of links to open core issues including a meta issue on images and the issue Views: Provide a new "File browser" display type started in May 2024.
While the need for the image browser is apparent the solution is not so apparent.
Through this time of searching, I had seen the meta issue along with some useful tutorials or solutions.
A good example is the tutorial to implement a custom file browser by @argiepiano, https://forum.backdropcms.org/forum/implementing-custom-file-browserpicker through which a side issue ermerged:
A minor annoyance: the dialog has the title "Select from Image Library". That title is, unfortunately, hard-coded in file_managed_file_browser_open(). Perhaps I'll create an issue for this. It'd be easy to pass the title within $form_state.
I haven't searched that side issue.
There is also the filefield_sources module and the file library, and also the IMCE module.
What solutions can help people find and use the image browser with Backdrop managed files and field uploads?
Another related item is, https://forum.backdropcms.org/features/allow-access-image-library-core-hero-block with issue https://github.com/backdrop/backdrop-issues/issues/5739
This is reminiscent of the Drupal 7 media module development.

You can always use Translation template extractor to extract the untranslated strings from a specific module (like Ubercart). Very easy to use.

Afaik when you use "is none of" [selected roles] it will show only those who don't have the selected role(s).
