There are a few custom images I want to insert into a chapter in a story, but I'm running into a lot of trouble making it work:

- I wanted to put the images at a path which has special characters (& and ') and spaces in it (on Windows 10), but no matter how I escape the characters in the additional_images I always get a 404 error where it can't find them. I eventually gave up and used a location which had no spaces and special characters, but I want to know if it's possible.

- Once custom images are added into the fic, I don't know how to preserve their insertion into the text. Every time I update the story through FFF, the inserted images have their source and longdesc replaced by "failedtoload" when the text of the chapters are unmodified.

- As an alternative, can FFF ignore the processing of custom images added to an epub? I find it odd that images which don't follow the ffdl-*.jpg naming format get deleted when the story gets updated unless they are in additional_images, especially since ffdl-*.jpg images that are in existing chapters don't get redownloaded from what I can tell.
