Aim:
To insert images in the comments section, one not related to book covers and not dependent on an internet connection. I also wanted to make this permanent to preserve them when the main library was moved or copied.

Method:
I stored the images in a newly created folder "0 - images" in the Calibre Main Library folder, then I Edit > click on nsert point in comments > Insert link or image > Choose a file on your computer - choose image (jpg) - OK (so far so good)

Problem:
I assumed that the location fo the folder would make the insertion permanent. I had to do a clean install. All the images are gone.

1. Can I fix this now?
2. How do I prevent this in the future?
