Embedding all URL linked images during conversion

andr01dm · 09-03-2017, 03:54 AM

Hello.

I downloaded an epub from a fan-fic website which includes a lot of images which are embedded using web URLs. (ie: http://imagewebsite.com/image.jpg) They display fine in Calibre on my PC but do not show up when I convert it (mobi or ezw3) and read it on my Kindle.

Is there a way to get Calibre to download the images, embed them and update the URLs to the local files during conversion? I've tried doing it manually and it works, but I don't see any option to do this automatically.

Thank you.

conversion deliberately does not do this as I like the process to be as deterministic as possible, and downloading resources is not at all deterministic. You can use the calibre editor which has a tool for this purpose (Tools->External links->download external resources)

Ah ha! That worked perfectly.

Thank you. :D
