Code:
<div class="center"> <img alt="Saving-Baby400X600" src="../Images/Saving-Baby400X600.jpg"/> </div> What if I use an image that is 800X1200? That would cover a screen that was even 2000 wide. (780X1170) So: Code:
<div class="center"> <img alt="Saving-Baby800X1200" src="../Images/Saving-Baby800X1200.jpg"/> </div> Thanks again. Last edited by Gregg Bell; 11-25-2018 at 02:28 PM. Reason: got interrupted |

What's your Linux flavor/version again, Gregg? I forget. I'd be surprised if you didn't have at least Python3.4. EDIT: in fact I know you have 3.4 (or higher) installed. Sigil wouldn't function at all otherwise. So it's merely a matter of making sure the recommended Python modules are all installed for a fully-functioning Sigil plugin framework.

Just checked and the version I have under Linux is one of yours. The install was about a year ago and I had a couple of posts about a missing icon. I'd forgotten all about where it came from.

Thanks Hitch. I get it now. But what about jhowell's idea (post #26) of anything that's in the html image tags without the "height" and "width" stuff added (like the attachment but with 800X1200 instead of 200X300) is displayed at 39.063%. So at 600X800, the Kindle 7 Touch resolution, the image would be displayed at 234pxX351px, which is 1.36"X2.05", which is good. On the Amazon Fire HD8 tablet it would be 312pxX468px, which would be 1.65"X2.48", which would also be good and so on. Quote:

The 39.063% that appears in KFX if you use no styling for a 200x300 image is not a constant. It depends on the image size. If you use a 400x600 image with no styling you get width:78.125% as a result instead. I can't explain why these occur and do not recommend relying on them. Percentage width should be used. And if you are concerned about the best look for older, non-KF8/KFX devices, also using height/width in pixels via media queries to cover that case. Last edited by jhowell; 11-26-2018 at 08:43 PM. |

I moved the Linux Sigil plugin framework setup conversation back to the Sigil forum.

<img alt="ManofGodNewFinal800X1200" src="../Images/ManOfGodNewFinal800X1200.jpg"/> Kind of big and from what you're saying that would swamp the older Kindles. Right now I'm thinking of this (for backmatter images): Code:
<img alt="ManofGodNewFinal400X600" src="../Images/ManOfGodNewFinal400X600.jpg"/> Then if I can figure it out, I'll try the percentages and media queries. |

And worse, then tell us all you're going to do X, and ask us if that's "okay" or to give our nod of approval. If we thought the shortcuts were "okay" in the first place, don't you think we would have said that? The DX is 1200x824. Think about how that will look on THAT. URGh, why the hell did you even ASK us, if you have zero interest in really learning how to fix it? Why??? Hitch |

And yeah, I'm a little intimidated by all that's involved with overcoming it the right way. I'm afraid of screwing up or not knowing if I'll ever fully understand what I'm doing. Plugins. Media queries. You're used to them. To me they're foreign. A big part of my fear is not (I should get a Kindle Fire HD8 today) knowing what the heck these images will look like on anything other than my Kindle Touch 7. Honestly, without knowing, it seems like 400X600 should look good on DX's 1200X824 screen. That's the way it seems to me. You know better because you've seen it. I'll try Slowsmile's plugin. It sounds cool. If you think I can handle it, I'm sure I can. |
