My screenshots are not showing up in package control

#1

My plugin is on the package control website, but the screenshots from the readme file are not showing up.
I put my screenshots inside a separate git branch called “screenshots”, but I notice that other package authors put them on the master branch (and they seem to work). Do I have to put my screenshots on the master branch on GitHub too?

You can use the full url in the readme (just navigate on github to it) and you don’t have to put it on the master branch.

I usually create and immediately close an issue on my github repo. Afterwards upload all images there and copy the urls to the images and use them in my readme. So I don’t need version control (for images) and they are hosted on the same server.

@r-stein Are you even oblige to raise an issue? Can’t you just write the message (upload the image, and copy the url), without sending it? I guess it’s a bit risky if GItHub removes unused images… (do they?)

I don’t know whether it is necessary, but wouldn’t risk it for the reason you said.

I have done this several times for my packages and none of the images I uploaded have disappeared, so I guess doing it that way is safe.
