But when I drop this ePub file into Calibre the images are gone. Just the position marks as 'there was an image here but now there's not'.

Is there somethin I'm missing?

Thanks in advance,

the images were NOT in the original EPUB. They were links to a Local File.
Moving (Placing) the 'epub' into Calibre, changed the location (lost) of the Images, relative to the book location.

There is ONE condition of a non-Sigil original source that Sigil does very poor (OK terrible), The Same name Image in original sub-folders. The folders get flattened and repeat names get overwritten. (book1/cover.jpg,book3/cover.jpg,book3/cover.jpg: all get written to ../Images/cover.jpg ) This condition shows the WRONG mage.

The code (CV) of Image source tags from Sigil will Always read
Code:
src="../Images/file-name.jpg"
Case sensitive, relative location, supported file type (no BMP, TIF...).
Sigil will adjust non-Sigil sources the first time to this arrangement.
