I've got shared uploads configured on my wiki and it works fine, but VisualEditor doesn't seem to take it into account. Searching for files returns nothing because there are none of the local wiki, and the upload tab returns the disabled uploads message.
Is there any way for VisualEditor to search for images on the shared uploads wiki rather than the local ones?
Thanks!
