Data

Shiori version: Shiori version 1.7.1 (build 2315f0da40) at 2024-10-05T20:33:28Z
Database Engine: SQLite
Operating system: Arch Linux
CLI/Web interface/Web Extension: Web interface

Describe the bug / actual behavior

When I bookmark this article (A look at the aerc mail client [LWN.net]), there's a image in both readable and archive view, but the downloaded epub file has no image.

Expected behavior

The image file is in the epub.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Add the LWN article link to Shiori.
Click Download Book icon.
Open the book.

Screenshots

In readable mode, the image is displayed properly.

When I open the book in zathura, there's a link to the image instead of the actual image.

When I open it in foliate, however, the image is displayed properly. Maybe foliate downloads the image? There's no image in the epub itself, anyway.

Notes

I tried inspecting the original article's HTML section regarding the image, it seems the href is not the direct link to the image, and the actual image is in the nested img tag. This causes the problem, I guess?
