While I know this is not a solution for everyone, I do have a (Visual layer) workaround which I have found quite helpful for many applications on Asana and elsewhere. If you are using Google Chrome:
Once you are in your project, right click on any non-task area and select: Amino > Open Editor
If you wish to only hide the board images on a certain project, be sure that “Page” at the top-left is selected. If you wish to hide the board images across all projects, be sure that “Site” or “Domain” is selected.
Paste the following code:
img.BoardCardCoverImage {
display: none;
}
Save, and Voila! Board images will be gone in Chrome, for as long as your styling is enabled. You can disable this at any time by selecting the extension in your toolbar and turning off the “Page” or “Site” rule with the toggle within Amino.
I know this isn’t a perfect solution for everybody, as it only hides the Cover image but doesn’t remove them from the task completely, but useful for big boards. I also use it for hiding updates within a task unless I am searching for them, by using the same code but replacing “img.BoardCardCoverImage” with “.FeedMiniStory.TaskStoryFeed-miniStory”
Asana team please fix this so we can set projects to default “Show no Image”.
I say this with no exaggeration whatsoever, the board view is made into an absolute joke of a junkpile across nearly all of our projects because of this. We have far, far too many tasks to be individually clicking “show no image” on them.
Crazy how many people have said they want this yet Asana has done nothing about it. I would also like this feature. Asana, please give the people what they want!
Used to be able to at least manually hide images in each task on the board. That functionality has disappeared. No longer have the ability to hide images on the board. It’s not a great experience.
@lpb people are asking for this as a whole-board setting, not at the individual task level. As others have said, it’s impossible to maintain doing it one by one.
+1 It is super annoying for me to see all these images and having to manually hide the images on each task is not a solution when your board is used by a lot of people and new ones are constantly created.
+1 for this feature. Please give us the option for a default setting. When images are not wanted for a project, having to go through each task to remove the preview is very time consuming and is, ironically, unproductive for our teams.
Hi, this thread was started in Jul 2020 - any feedback? @Marie you had replied and wondering if any feedback. Sorry if I have missed the answer somewhere
