kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 08/31/2020 3:24 pm Since I'm "Sheltering in Place", I've started documenting my collection by sets and categories. Nothing fancy; just pictures and descriptions. Here are a couple examples of what I'm doing. From my world birth year category: And from my Japanese Occupation of China set: It's a slow process but I've got the time. Hmmm, don't know why the second image won't show. I tested it elsewhere and it is fine. I think I may have a character in the file name that this site doesn't like. Further testing is necessary.

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 08/31/2020 3:38 pm Testing the renamed image: Yep, that was the problem. I had an apostrophe in the file name and this site doesn't like that. Anyway you get to see the image now. Edited by kanga 08/31/2020 3:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Just use ASCII hex-replacement (%xx) when you have a special character running afoul of the parser. That being said, looking good!

With luck I can look at the code for that area and see what it looks like now. Report this Post to the Staff

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 08/31/2020 5:40 pm Ah ha! I see the %27. I assume 27 is the ASCII code for an apostrophe. I looked at the Character Map and I see the apostrophe as 0027. Definitely have learned something which I'll probably forget if I need it later. At my age the memory is fast losing its function.
