Getting image path right for Mnemosyne + Mnemogogo + Mmenododo

[warren...@gmail.com]

Hi all, I'm trying to get my cards working on my Android phone but the embedded images are not appearing. When I edit the cards on my Linux box, I see these tags:
<IMG src="merge-4_1.jpg"/> etc.

From here I export to a separate folder on my Linux box using Mnemogogo and then copy the folder over to the phone. What I'm seeing in the CARDS file that is generated is:
<IMG src="file:///home/wkt/.local/share/mnemosyne/default.db_media/merge-4_1.jpg"/>, and of course this absolute pathname doesn't exist on the phone.

Obviously I'm making a newbie mistake here. Can someone hit me with a cluebat. Alternatively, can someone tell me what the <IMG src> tag should look like and I'll edit the CARDS file with sed and fix it.

Many thanks in advance, Warren

Hello, I would use the latest release candidate of mnemosyne 2.3 instead, the download links are in this thread:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mnemosyne-proj-users/JSbPgXUgdPU

However, you need to install python-webob for that version to work, 

heres a version where you don't need to install that:

Could you please try renaming one or two of these tags to lowercase,
i.e.,
<img src="merge-4_1.jpg"/>

And seeing whether they are correctly exported to the IMG/
subdirectory?

That's right. Mnemogogo nearly always takes care of this properly (for
a few years now). I'm surprised that this problem is occurring.

Did you enter those IMG tags manually, or using the standard Ctrl-I
technique?

The alternative is to patch Mnemogogo; core.py, lines 143, to:
re_img_split = re.compile(r'(<img.*?>)', re.IGNORECASE)
