Static files don't show up in Jekyll

I'm trying to print my static images in my page following this basic steps in Jekyll documentation:

https://jekyllrb.com/docs/static-files/

My files are in assets/img and my config file has these lines (space indented)

  defaults:
  - scope:
      path: "assets/img"
    values:
      image: true

I have a Jekyll brand new website. Now in my about.md page I want to print all the images:

{% assign image_files = site.static_files | where: "image", true %}

{% for myimage in image_files %}
  {{ myimage.path }}
{% endfor %}

Needless to say it prints nothing.

While I can print {{ site.static_files | inspect }} including all files: fonts, images, zips etc I cannot print image_files variable, nor myimage

What is happening?

In root project create folders assets and img inside assets folder. Put your image inside img

Example:

myblog
.
├── 404.html
├── about.md
├── assets
│   └── img
│       └── filename.png

In _config.yml:

defaults:
  - scope:
      path: "assets/img"
    values:
      image: true

In your posts, ex:about.md, put something like that:

{% assign image_files = site.static_files | where: "image", true %}
{% for myimage in image_files %}
  ![{{myimage.name}}]({{ myimage.path }})
{% endfor %}
