Thank you for your interest and for reaching out my project.

Regarding the issue you are raising, I will guide you on how to customize the Nginx settings to be able to handle more specialized URL patterns that you desire. This is not a bug, as this project is not an image processing program itself, but rather a collection of settings to allow many people to easily set up their own image processing server. This project only provides very basic configurations, and of course to serve other requirements, you need to customize it.

In the variable declaration section for $use_imgproxy in the imgproxy.conf file (here), you can add a rule so that Nginx knows that files under the /item_image/ path are images and should also be processed by imgproxy, for example like this:

## **`$use_imgproxy`**
## This flag indicates that the request will be proceeded by `imgproxy`.
map $uri $use_imgproxy
{
    default 0;

    # files under the `/item_image/` path are images and should also be processed
    #> E.g. /item_image/abc is an image
    ~^/item_image/ 1;

    # or process all image files with these file extensions
    ~*\.(jpe?g|png|gif|tiff?|bmp)$  1;
}

Of course, you can also use more complex regular expressions to filter the paths exactly according to your requirements.

I wish you success in setting up your own image processing system.
