Ion-slides preloading not working

Ionic Framework
1

When I use ion-slides with provided options that contain “preloadImages: true, lazy: false”, the images still appear to be lazy loaded. Any clue as to how to get this to work properly?

this.slideOptions = {
      loop: true,
      preloadImages: true,
      lazy: false
    };

...

 <ion-slides [options]="this.slideOptions">
     <ion-slide *ngFor="let image of this.images; index as i;">
         <ion-img
                 [src]="image">
          </ion-img>
    </ion-slide>
</ion-slides>

Here’s my ionic info:

False alarm - I see now that the ion-img component lazy loads.

Wasn’t it the problem?

The solution, for future users having this issue, is to use a standard html img tag instead of ion-img because the ion-img lazy loads.
