Better handling of images in Hugo bundles

[kaushalmodi]

@gour I had let this issue stay open as I wanted to document this feature for other users too. Now I have :)

The documentation is added at https://ox-hugo.scripter.co/doc/images-in-content/.

Feel free to reopen this issue or open a new one if you face any problem.

That's fine, but there is a major issue with saving images on static folder: those images cannot be processed by Hugo (see Hugo Image processing ).

I started my ox hugo experimentation with the strategy proposed by the hugo documentation ( ox hugo Images in content ) but, having to process the images, at the moment I have to copy the files by hand to the directory containing the post. I am using :EXPORT_HUGO_BUNDLE: in order to create page bundles and I've disabled Emacs option org-hugo-default-static-subdirectory-for-externals.

It would be awesome that the images would be copied from the org directory to the page bundle directory.

@finex Can you please provide a minimal reproducible example of what's happening and what's the expectation?

Hi, of course @kaushalmodi :-)

🙅‍♂️ Current behaviour:

valid with bot single org file and one post per file

ox-hugo copies images (from the post body) to /static folder (org-hugo-default-static-subdirectory-for-externals).

😄 Expected behaviour:

It should be added a new parameter to force the copy of images to the page bundle directory instead than the static one.

Org file structure:

content-org/posts.org 
content-org/image1.jpg

posts.org details:
It contains a reference to file:image1.jpg and has the :EXPORT_HUGO_BUNDLE: option set to bundle-name (it's an example). I've also set the hugo section to blog using #+hugo_section: blog.

Result:
When you save the .org file and export to hugo the directory with markdown (content) should be something like:

content/blog/bundle-name/index.md
content/blog/bundle-name/image1.jpg

❤️ Extra "like to have" :

This option should be used also to enhance my previous report (#301 ): images on custom front matter should also be copied in the page bundle directory.

Hi @kaushalmodi , did you evaluated my proposal? This is the last problem left which prevents me to use ox-hugo (and Hugo) for my new "ready to be launched" website 😀. Let me know if you've some suggestions, even a custom local script to automate this task. Thank you for all your work on this project!

Oh boy, it's already been 3 months since this issue was created. My work's been too busy. I'll get to this once I find some time. Such major features need a lot of testing and also documentation.

Great, I don't know elisp (yet) so I can't help with coding but if you need help for testing or something else feel free to ask :-) thank you! :-)

@finex I have already added this feature, but I misunderstood this feature request for something else :).

Well, now I have this documented as well. Please refer to this documentation on https://ox-hugo.scripter.co/doc/images-in-content/#images-and-page-bundles and let me know if that resolved this issue.

Hi, yes, it works :-) Thank you :-)
