Hello Philip,
Without making any code changes if you were to add the Search and Replace RegExp filter from this comment and then add a new Search and Replace RegExp as a Global Filter against the Image URL field, and on the configuration page for the filter in the Search box use:
/^$/...which will match an empty field only, and in the Replace box, enter your "no image" image as required e.g.
http://www.example.com/images/noimage.jpg...or as required.
Cheers,
David.
