Perhaps you found one of those? Try opening that image directly in an Image Tab, or external browser to verify if truly blank (ie. a spacer image).
I think you're talking about the first 73 gifs which did not display in the plugins window (because the other case-sensitive issue was resolved and the image then displayed as it should)?

It was one of my own books I was using and I know all those images by heart. They were all created in Inkscape and exported as pngs and then converted to gifs to lighten the load because they're all line drawings. They all display correctly in the epub in Sigil and all other e-reading devices I've tried.

It was only in the plugin's window that those images did not display but despite that, they were correctly used by the plugin to do its job.

And yes - if I need more white space, I use CSS and never a dummy image.
