WebCT (from EZTest) image references not working

I am still trying to get these quiz image reference questions nailed down

I imported questions from EZtest via a webCT conversion. The export option allowed me to set a media directory, which I did. However, the quiz questions only show the alt text.

To test (and as I am running 1.9.2+ (20080723) I first manually did the fix for the combo select error) I created a new question and manually selected the image. The html for these two are appended below.

As a result, my quiz does show the image where I did the select manually, but does not show the image where I fed the questions the image location and then moved the images to that location.

I understand that there are scads of issues that are involved with importing and exporting such resources, but also know that for Moodle to be functional without the need for a programmer, as is apparently wished, then the solution to problems such as described above should be a bit simpler.....

This situation is also confusing because typically one would import questions in a course, but placing questions and images in a course means that it is not accessible by another course for which you want to use the same questions. I was wondering if someone could point me to the doc that describes how one would create a moodle wide test bank where files are only accessible to teachers and images are secured so they can not be viewed by students except when referenced by the quiz question?

Barring that, I would settle for a quick explanation as to why the manual reference works and the one created on import does not.... and what one might do as far as a link to use for file reference when importing the quiz items.....

Additionally, I do note that the html is not equivalent (the latter is xhtml compliant??) and what options could be taken to have the markup produced by the import be equivalent to the markup created by Moodle?

Lastly, when displaying the image the identification (i.e. Figure 1-1) is being stripped. Can someone provide a way to address this.

Of course, the questions above are addressed to doing such things in an automated fashion. For example, I understand that in order to change the penalty for adaptuive questions one must manually edit the question. Likewise, I understand that I could manually edit each and every question in the question bank (some 3000??) to get them to work, but then the time invested would be such that it would not be worth it to use Moodle to do the test......

I'm sure we're all having the same problem. Having just worked on several hundred assesments for converting over to Moodle, this is a real pain. About the only thing I was able to do is do a mass find/replace on URL's. I used TextWrangler on the Mac, I'm sure there are Windows & Linux equivalents too. I'd really like to see this fixed as it's an ongoing issue with my job.

I don't know if its the same problem.
How are you manually accomplishing image referencing?
You can see from my prior post that the "fix" allows me to manually reference an image if I build the question from scratch, but if I import via the admin interface I can only access images in "Site Files", and I haven't a clue as to why one works and why one doesn't unless it has something to do with reading the various spans or divs..... I guess I can go back and re-export without the mediaa link and see if I can manual kludge, or I can move al the image files to "site files" (which of course means that they are universally viewable) and manually link to there......

I was able to get someone from McGraw Hill to finally respond..... they sent me a doc with illustrations from their own Moodle (a step forward) and then provided instructions that won;t work unless you can supply a couple of missing steps...... I provided them details of thr EZTest bank I was using and asked them to demo that they could import questions with images...
