Hi,

First, thanks to the Sigil developers. I think it is an awesome tool!

I'm a newbie--have just converted my 2nd book. My workflow is MS Word + Toxaris e-book Tools, then cleanup in Sigil.

My problem is my images are displayed in Book View inside Sigil, but they don't show up when I copy my ePub from where Sigil puts it to my device (Nexus 7 + Aldiko reader).

I used the exact same workflow on the first book I did without any image problems. I must have done something different this time, but I can't figure out what it is.

Thanks in advance for any constructive suggestions!

[SOLUTION]. I just ran FlightCrew. (I was previously under the assumption that it ran automatically when you saved). I got messages which gave me the hint I needed for the solution. The problem was that I was using this as the value of the src attribute for img tag:

Code:

<img alt="chapter-end" src="../Images/title-chapter.png" />

but the name of the file in the Images folder is

Code:

title-chapter.PNG

Solution: consistently capitalize the filename and all the references to the file in the HTML!!
