Thanks for the email. Definitely want to figure out how to make that work
for you. I just checked again with version 4.3 and an absolute image file
location works for me when importing a CSV file. If the image location is
not absolute, it's interpreted relative to the importer file location.

If you run Tellico with the --log option and look at the log (Help -> Show
Log) are there any errors when you do the CSV import that might indicate an
issue?
