Images in an ePub lost when inserting it in Calibre
Hi,
I created an ePub using Sigil, and everything went OK while it was just text. But I've inserted some photos, and can see them all right both using Sigil and as html files (breaking the ePub in html and jpg files, you know). But when I drop this ePub file into Calibre the images are gone. Just the position marks as 'there was an image here but now there's not'. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks in advance, Jose Luis Last edited by jmatute; 07-05-2011 at 02:30 PM. |

Moving (Placing) the 'epub' into Calibre, changed the location (lost) of the Images, relative to the book location. There is ONE condition of a non-Sigil original source that Sigil does very poor (OK terrible), The Same name Image in original sub-folders. The folders get flattened and repeat names get overwritten. (book1/cover.jpg,book3/cover.jpg,book3/cover.jpg: all get written to ../Images/cover.jpg ) This condition shows the WRONG mage. The code (CV) of Image source tags from Sigil will Always read Code:
src="../Images/file-name.jpg" Sigil will adjust non-Sigil sources the first time to this arrangement. |

I don't use Mobi.
What file type are the Images? |

The images are jpg files.
If you don't use .mobi files you won't see this issue unless you force it using Calibre (0.8.8, BTW). My wife's Kindle doesn't read ePub files. Thank you anyway. |

1) are mis-labled (not really a JPG) 2) Overly large (high DPI or file size) 3) An odd variant JPG |
