mllama-3.2 Interactive Demo Failed to Read List of Strings Image Files

[ekaakurniawan]

Describe the bug
When selecting input image, I have the files variable as follow.

files = ['/path/to/input/image.png']

The following code will check files[-1] which is in string data type and not list or tuple. Then it will return error due to the str object has no attribute path.

openvino_notebooks/notebooks/mllama-3.2/gradio_helper.py

Line 31 in b393399

image = files[-1] if isinstance(files[-1], (list, tuple)) else files[-1].path

Expected behavior
The input image file with string data type from local directory should not fail.

Possible fix
Removing select last from files list fixed the issue for me. Sample as follow. Not sure about the last files with .path. What data type it is?

                image = files[-1] if isinstance(files, (list, tuple)) else files[-1].path
