How to display correctly images in Odoo manifest file

Hi all,

I'd like to have your point of view about image displays via odoo manifest file. (readme file).
For me, making promotion of modules it's a very important point for the OCA and images are very good to understand very quickly, how a module works, and which features are added.
Another point is that writing index.html file for each module is a mess, that requires a lot of time. (Odoo SA solution) and very few modules in OCA has an html description. (this point is not required for the time being)

I do not understand how to write the path of the image to make it displayed correctly in all supports. (that are : github, odoo apps website, odoo-code-search website and 'local modules' in odoo itself).
The OCA template is not very explicit on that point (line 26), but maybe I missed something.

So, there are a lot of bad displays in the OCA modules. Sample

I so made a little google sheet that sumup which path syntaxes work. (please correct me if you think that I'm wrong on a point ...)

It seems that there is no ideal solution for the time being.
We should select a github compatible solution, but none works with odoo apps and odoo-code-search.

I propose you #1 syntax because it's the most natural and logical. (simple relative path).
Alternatively, we can select #5 that works in 'local module' menu too.

But in any case, we should contact Odoo SA about display in odoo apps. (and odoo code search developer)

What do you think ?

kind regards.
