provide URLs to product images. That works perfect with the import.
Disagree, see this thread:

In the scenario of zip based import, this will now require to follow naming convention for files/folders and will be a lot to handle on error side.
Sound like a lot of work with ton of support and lack of reward.
I am not sure this is true. Wouldn't you just add another step to adding resources to product? If adding an Image resource, and the file type is a ZIP, extract it and then attach the component images to the product.
