Use one image for product listing and another for product detail
How would I go about doing this?
Would Image Handler be the best thing to use?
Re: Use one image for product listing and another for product detail
Just upload a "medium" image for the product, and that will be used for the product-detail/info page. The small/default/original image will be used for the listings etc.
FAQ on multiple images per product:

Thank you, that makes one aspect so much simpler.

How do I ensure the exact image for each? I just have to add _MED and it will automatically take it?
So I set it up like this?
For all the product info I have *_MED.(file type) in images/medium
and the small one I want for just in the main /images directory?
Re: Use one image for product listing and another for product detail
Just like in the FAQ, yes.
Re: Use one image for product listing and another for product detail
Awesome I will let you know if this works as I need it.
Re: Use one image for product listing and another for product detail
But I thought of one more problem:
When the products are uploaded directly into the system on the admin side, how do you get the other images in there? You can only upload image.
As for as I see it only uploads one in and then you have to import the rest via FTP in directly and that would be a problem.
How would I fix this?

Yes, that's how it's done.
If you wish to use a strictly web-based tool, you can install an addon like Image Handler, but that complicates the code and procedures a lot more than just uploading additional images.

Well yes but it makes it easier to upload things to upload for others who are not coders like us. Thank you. I always try to make things as fool-proof as possible and I am just concerned with others uploading things to the site.
