I took the old epub and ran it through a modern kindlegen to produce a dual-format mobi, which I then split into its KF7 and KF8 components, and examined the html code in the kf7 part.

That particular line ended up in the KF7 mobi file as:
Code:
<p align="center"><img alt="images/image002.jpg" src="Images/image00015.jpeg"/></p>
<snippage>

Additionally, note that in the KF7 code, the image itself has been renamed, though the alt= information is the same. I have no idea what that's all about; the original image from the source code seems identical to the image that ships with the mobi file. It hasn't been resized or anything.

I grabbed your plugin, but I dare not start playing with it tonight, as my brain is about to reach its melting point

And thanks for all your-all's (meaning all the contributors to this thread -- it's Southern-speak) efforts and discussion! I'm learning much.

Albert:

I think--and this is NOT something I've spent a lot of time on, so this is about as good as rampant speculation--that's (renaming the images) related to the HD/non-HD images thing. That's what I think.

And yes: KF7 images will, of course, display; my thing is, they just will "do their own thing," based on their original size, the size of the device and the firmware, rather than obeying any KF8-style commands.

I'm kinda fragged, tonight, William, so I hope you'll forgive me if I don't get that next set of tests done. I push a lot, from Mon-Weds night (for example, been at work, since Mon. a.m., for 39 hours, as of right now), so...I'm kinda lamebrained at the moment.
