**Lucca Huguet** : hello, i have a slight problem.

whenever I run `label-studio-converter import yolo -i ./ -o tasks.json` , the generated tasks.json ends up with the following image urls “[http://localhost:8080/data/local-files/?d=/myimagename.jpg](http://localhost:8080/data/local-files/?d=/myimagename.jpg)” and then I have to update every single image url in the tasks.json to “[http://localhost:8080/data/local-files/?d=images/myimagename.jpg](http://localhost:8080/data/local-files/?d=images/myimagename.jpg)”

my dir structure is the following:

**Chris Hoge (HumanSignal)**: Can you try with the flag

```auto
--image-root-url IMAGE_ROOT_URL

```

**Lucca Huguet** : thanks! is IMAGE\_ROOT\_URL supposed to be `<http://localhost:8080/data/local-files/?d=images/>`?

**Chris Hoge (HumanSignal)**: I believe so, I don’t have a lot of experience with the converter 🙂

**Lucca Huguet** : ok, this does work

still very hard-coded, but I guess better than having to add the string “images” to every single url

thanks!

**Chris Hoge (HumanSignal)**: I’m glad it worked!
