Aco has fixed the image bug. *GO ACO!*
I haven't closed it yet, I guess /mickfuzz/ should:

There's still an issue with Objavi not turning images to Grayscale even 
when the option is checked. Made a ticket:

Yeap, I can see a ticket referring to a first chapter being repeated:
http://booki-dev.flossmanuals.net/ticket/198

The bug that I am encountering is different as the first chapter does 
not render at all.
This is a real blocker as a book needs a beginning, middle and an end. 
We have all except the beginning.
I made a ticket for it:
http://booki-dev.flossmanuals.net/ticket/209

If the fix solves both 198 and 209 that will be great!

Aco is on it. We've been bug testing on the IRC channel. I won't make a 
ticket for it unless this is still an open issue tomorrow.

I haven't encountered this in my latest export, might just be a 
coincidence. If there's no existing ticket for it I can make one if/when 
I encounter the problem again.

Is that a feature request? Aco told me it has something to do with 
what's available through the Webkit rendering engine. Doug, any thoughts 
on that?

Thanks again,
I really feel privileged to be using this at this point and to 
contribute some feedback and tickets at this point in the development 
process.
