That is more clear than before, but I've wiped it all and gone back to OC.

Sorry to have wasted your time.

Sorry, we simply are not communicating.

I have no idea what you are saying. Everything I add ends up in one huge list when I go to add an image. I simply do not understand what is perfectly clear to you.

I guess it's back to OC.

I like what you offer, but the images are just confusing.

Sorry to have wasted your time.

Thank you for the rapid response, I did not know if I would get one or not.

But most of it went clear over my head. I am sorry, I do not understand. You talk about php and files. I am not a coder, I simply want to add images to my products.

I want to be able to have product A and add 6 images by opening a folder called productA, not some meaningless number. And I don't want to have to sort through 40 pages of images to do it, either.

What do I have to do to Click on the + button on the Product Media page and under images show different folders, not every image on the server?

How do I get to just ProductA images?

I have uploaded one folder of images, but it does not show up. Which directory on the server should I upload the folder containing images, as there are several. Where should the initial folder go so it is picked up for thumbs and such?

Also, out of 6 or 8 of the first images I did upload into the general Images section, half were "too large". Again, these are images I am using on half a dozen or more OC sites (and others) with no problem. Am I going to have to re-size half my images?

What is the maximum file size for jpg images?

I hate to make an issue out of this, like I am giving you a hard time, but I do like so much about the script, I'd love to use it. But I am not a coder and do not wish to ever edit a file, although I will maybe go into a language file or something simple like that. But code? No way, I am a USER, not a coder.

I don't mind playing around a bit, but I do have a deadline and would like to get this going with your cart.

After using OpenCart for 5 years or so, installing many scripts for my hosting clients and running several quite successful sites of my own, I decided to make a move to AbanteCart.

Must say, I like so much of it, but one of the major reasons I was looking for something beside OC was their image manager is terrible. So, I install AbanteCart, spend several hours playing around, making some settings, adding a basic option to see how they go, etc. Then I add a product. Everything going great, until it comes to the images.

I've got loads of images. I wholesale mobile phones and tablets to Ebay and Amazon sellers and they want to see the front, sides, open and closed back, accessories, port views and even the retail boxes. That's a lot of images for each product. But, with OC I could upload a directory of just Product A's images under a logical directory and folder, such as phones/ProductA.

Now all I see is some indiscriminate numbered folders. How do I upload to them? And once I do, how do I know what is where. There's a dozen or so folders from the demo, with no indication what they contain. To find one specific image I have to look in a dozen folders? And to add a couple of new views of ProductA that already has images somewhere, how to I keep them together?

From the start of computers everything revolves around logic. If there is one thing I am not, it's a coder, but I sure can't see any logic whatsoever in the image management here.

What am I missing?

Since I also supply carts to others, I have all of my images in folders and sub-folders that can all be loaded at one FTP session, over and done with. This system is a nightmare, unless I've been toking a bit to much and can't understand the logic of it.

Please explain what I'm missing. I'd love to start using your scripts. I'll install an average of one OC site per week, I'm ready for a change.
