Cover paradox in validation

[peyeR]

Hi, i'm currently making a epub file in french language.

The epub works properly but i have an error when validating.

It says that my cover.jpg doesn't exist in the manifest, but it is well declared into the manifest.

Here are the error messages, i have both at the same time, and they pointing an issue about OEPBS/Images/cover.jpg :

"This resource is present in the manifest, but it's not reachable (it's unused)"
"This resource is reachable but not present in the OPF manifest. "Reachable" means that a reference of some kind that points to the file exists in the epub"

in the manifest (content.opf), the line about the cover:

item href="Images/cover.jpg" id="cover.jpg" media-type="image/jpeg"

The line in the .xhtml of my cover :

img alt="" src="../images/cover.jpg" width="100%" height="100%"

Of course, i did put cover.jpg in my Images/ folder. And declared with right-mouse clicking my first page as my cover. I don't understand what is happening here.

May someone help me? Thanks a lot, i've just been subscribing but i have been reading this forum for quite some time !

Try making the case of "images" the same in all places.

i just noticed that my second error indicates the source Text/images/cover.jpg.

So i changed the .xhtml src to "../images/cover.jpg" and it worked !

Thanks a lot for your help !
