Latest News Plus on J4: The image file does not exist.

Can you give me some feedback please on how this is working out?

Occasionally it happens that a customer makes a mistake with the images of the articles. To prevent the Module from blocking the entire site I made this small change in the Helper.
If there is an error in the Path to the image, then an error JPG is shown, in the same way as the default image.
You have to prepare a JPG called error.jpg and put it in the Assets folder.

I hope it can be helpful
