Great, thanks very much John.

As a minor note I had to make a slight change

(org-link-set-parameters
  "img"
  :follow 'org-custom-link-img-follow     ; my old code
  :export 'org-custom-link-img-export)  ; my old code

And then it works equivalent with the previous version in 8.

Thanks
Milan

PS

(There is another note which is for a new thread: both in 8 and 9,
while they export what I need, actually do not display the image in
org buffer. The reason seem to be the  org-display-inline-images is
only looking for the "file" link but I need to debug that first)
