Image References Fail Top Refactoring First

Image References Alternative

The ever-marvelous AmberV (Ioa Petra’ka) on the Scrivener forum pointed me to §21.4.1 in the manual, an alternate way of putting images into the text. I’ll try it here.

I found §21.4.1 a bit confusing. For me, what worked was this:

  1. If the desired image isn’t already in the binder, add it using (idk) Gear > Add > Existing Files. It will show up in Research.
  2. Create a conventional Markdown image link where you want the picture to appear, Put anything in the parenthesized place where the image file will go: Your image text).
  3. Select the text in the parens. (anything).
  4. From the binder, hold Option and drag the image into the editor. The text (anything) will be replaced at compile time with the exported file name of the image. (Trust us on this.)

As you can see, if there’s an image up there, it works. What’s less desirable is that the image isn’t visible to me when I’m editing, as are all my others. So I’m going to go ahead with the “improvements” to the Ruby program. We’ll discuss that in the next section.
