I'm currently encountering an issue where I am no longer able to custom add local images to FFF stories by using a local file path URL.

It used to be where if I could drag the local image to a browser, copy the URL (starting with file:///) as the replacement to the "src" attribute, and then run "Update EPUB Always" and the image would be properly downloaded into the book. Now, the Calibre editor states that "This link points to a file is not present in the book" while failing to show the image in the preview and running the "Update EPUB Always" doesn't download the local image into the book anymore.

Calibre: 6.29, FanFicFare: 4.29.0

Edit: Never mind, it turns out the reason FFF wasn't properly downloading it was because the local file included "ffdl" in its name and that apparently triggers FFF to skip it.
