Add images to project

[vmpajares]

I'm using manuskript to make game design documents. So it could be useful to add images to some sections, so readers (and myself if I reopen and old document) can use them as references. Like characters, world items, etc..

Do you need the images do be visible in manuskript, or only at export?
(will the documents be read outside of manuskript?)

I need them to be visible in the character / world when I select them and in the export.

The readers will read the export, but I need to refresh my mind when I open a document after some time.

OK, part of the roadmap for 0.4.0 is the research folder. It will be possible to add images.

I guess you'll be able to reference them as usual (see right-click > insert reference in world, this is not implemented in characters yet I think.) Then if the reference is an image, then the tooltip will display the image, and when you click on it it will either open in the research folder (but then you leave the character / world tab, so not good), or open in the cheat-sheet, where the image could be displayed.

Would that be good enough for you?

An other (and compatible) option would be to add images using markdown syntax (![Title](url)), and manuskript could open them up just like references, as noted above.

Inserting references from the research folder would be great. Thanks.

Is this implemented? If i right-click > insert reference it lists what is inside the MSK file. How can I create a reference directory inside to add say images?
Also if i use Markdown instead, (which is good) what is the correct URL for an image immediately outside the .msk file in the same folder?

This is not implemented yet, but still in the pipeline.

If you use markdown, you can reference images relative to the place where you will export the html document in the end. So ![alt text](img.png) will display correctly if you export the html to the same folder.

As of now, I fixed the preview from the Compile dialog (in the develop branch) so that it will properly display images relative to the project path. So if you MSK file is stored in ~/manuskript/project.msk, then ![alt text](img.png) will be shown if ~/manuskript/img.png exists.
