I have a novel perfectly formatted in Sigil and saved as [novel].epub. It has images for Cover, title page, and The End; they show in Sigil and in Calibre when I import the .epub file there. Calibre makes a seemingly perfect conversion to mobi and the images show up in Calibre's ebook reader for both formats. However, ADE shows the epub text perfectly formatted BUT no images. Just blanks spaces of the appropriate size. And the Kindle ebook reader does the same: text perfect but correctly sized blanks for images. The technique I'm using has already converted two other novels perfectly.
I suspect this is because the images in this latest conversion are referenced thus:

src="/C:%5CUsers%5CMalcolm%5CAppData%5CLocal%5CTemp%5Cms ohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_image005.jpg" width="151" /></h1>

when the link to the images should be to the folder [novel_name]_files in the same folder as contains the original html file. But when I try to reload the ebook back into Sigil, all I get is a brief flash of Section 000001 of the epub that then defaults to the original [novel].html file.

QUESTION: How do I get to the html files for sections that contain images, which would be sections 1, 2, and 13? Is there a utility somewhere out there that lets one access and edit all the html files into which an ebook is divided?
