What is the Images dir for? Nothing is there

I followed the instructions on the wiki to mount a NAS for a Raspberry Pi 3B using Buster: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Common_Issu ... ive_or_NAS
and the system is indeed saving Event data there.
(huge thanks to whoever wrote that up so well)

Just one kind of dumb question: what's the images directory for? Nothing is being put there. The still capture jpegs are being put under 'events'. I have simple DLink 932 cameras that don't seem to support outright video capture so there's just a series of stills under events.

The install gave me v 1.32.3 if that matters.

A static image used to be put there for each camera, which was used as the background for setting up each camera's motion zones. In a past version of zm, I removed the static image and replaced it with a live feed. For 1.32.3 the image folder still exists, but it is no longer used. I removed the images folder in our master branch, so in the next release you won't see it anymore.
