placement of images

[emacsomancer]

I'm a bit confused about how to deal with images. So I have in my org-content directory a subdirectory images containing images I want to refer to in posts. So in the :PROPERTIES: of the relevant org header I have things like

:EXPORT_HUGO_IMAGES: images/pic01.jpg

But then in main body when I try to have these images displayed, I seem to need to initially have lines like:

file:images/pic01.jpg

to get them to export properly, but then I need to recompile changing these references to something like:

file:post/POST_NAME/pic01.jpg

in order for them actually to display in the post.

Is there a way to get this to behave more intuitively?

I need to ask a few questions to understand the issue correctly.

• Where are the images placed in the content-org?
  • Are you saving the images in page bundle structure?
• What is the expect URL of the image in the final HTML?

Also, the EXPORT_HUGO_IMAGES has nothing to do with the exports of image paths.. that property simply exports to an images front-matter.

• in content-org, the images are in a subdirectory called images
  • Well, I have the following property set: :EXPORT_HUGO_BUNDLE: POST_NAME
• apparently within the POST_NAME directory. I don't have a strong preference for how they're arranged. I just want a method where I don't have to worry about manually placing things, or having to recompile with different file-paths.

Hello,

There shouldn't be a need to manually placing things, and things should work with a single export (I do that in my blog).

See this test post/documentation and the tables in there: https://ox-hugo.scripter.co/test/bundles/page-bundle-a/.

I need to better document this (hopefully this coming week).

I am away from my computer, and will get some time tomorrow. Let me know if the above linked test case, and the associated Org source helps.

Thanks @kaushalmodi . I'll have a look at the test post you linked.
