Hi,
I need to decrease my page size, so I want to download all images throught ftp and compress them with https://tinypng.com
The issue is that all same images seems to be on 2 diferrent locations
1. /public_html/resources/image (images names in this location are like "0.jpg" "1.jpg" "2.jpg" ..)
2. /public_html/image/thumbnails (images names in this location are like "sandisk-usb-flash-drive.jpg" "galaxy-s6-case.jpg" "usb-cable.jpg" ..) <- these are the real names that I gave before upload them
bear in mind that are the same images located in 2 different locations.
Which of these 2 location I need to download? Is the other location then retrieve again the same images and renames them?
If someone can explain a bit.
Thank you

AbanteCart has a really good export/import tool within your dashboard. Here's the docs:
https://abantecart.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AD/pages/14647524/Export
My suggestion is to use it to export all your resources library to your PC.
If you have a lot of images or want to manipulate them somewhat the try one of the free products from
https://www.faststone.org/
FastStone Photo Resizer or FastStone Image Viewer
they do essential the same thing, but but controls are a bit different
https://www.fotosizer.com/ - this is another free resizer the works well also. I usually fine the FastStone suits me better.
Once you have updated your images then use the export/import routine to load them back into your site.
IMPORTANT - Make a Backup of your site BEFORE you make massive changes - just in case you need to roll back.

Hello.
Images are not the same.
resources - contain all uploaded images
thumbnails - have all generated and resized images you see on storefront.
When you clear all caches or change some image settings thumbnails will be re-generating again from sources (resources)
