It sounds like the dataURL method costs about a tenth of a second per image, for moderately large images. I had never tested that, but it's good to know. For my purposes right now, that is not an issue, but it could be for plenty of situations. Sent from my iPhone > On Jul 16, 2017, at 11:42

Hi James, Can you post an example of your actual filepath? With HTML, the first part of the path to the local disk usually looks like this: "file:///C:/users/pictures/mypicture.png" LC should be able to give you the right full path to a document- but make sure to try using the "file:///"
