Dear ScriptJunkie,
thank you for your precise information, but...
Does IH3 creates images in bmz_cache folder when the website is OFF and there is nobody connected, beside me in the admin area, and not browsing any single front-end page ?
If it is so, I'm sorry.
From the information I got I thought that IH3 would have created the needed cached images "on the fly", but as soon as they were requested by ZenCart on users website browsing...
Also, the addon to which I'm referring, "Google Froogle Feeder (Zen Cart 1.3.9 and below)", which can be found in the addon repository is supposed to work in connection with IH3, being a switch present for this purpouse in the configuration.
How this was made, I cannot say, I'm honest.
The investigation on how this addon handles the information it might get from IH3 has already been posted in the relative support forum, but to better show what I mean, I would like you to have a look a the following links, both present right now in my bmz_cache folder (and, no, I did not placed anything inside bmz_cache manually, just erased it last time some minutes ago...):
/bmz_cache/0/0cb8f17489d74af2730bcb41da9f1fa0.image.487x650.jpg (not watermarked ???)
/bmz_cache/2/2f8d763d6f35d8cd89b78b8cd97b1051.image.75x99.jpg (OK)

/bmz_cache/e/ec18140bfb0ae23044490ec1ad5a625e.image.487x650.jpg (OK)
(sorry, could not enter so many links...so just add "4shops.it" in front of it...)
FYI:
75 is the width of the small images
150 is the width of the medium image
650 is the max height of the big images
I don't know how images in subfolder /0 and /8 were created (is this a IH3 middle step ?), but apparently the Google Merchant Center Feeder addon takes just one of the those two...
And this is not happening on Google Checkout (which I do not have), but in the XML file the addons generates, picking information from the database and placing it in the right was as Google wants to "eat it"...
I jsut creates an XML file, which contents, for the above item, is this one (just reduced to single item...):

And this confirm that the ADDON is not using my original images... :blink:
Finally, it would be nice to receive some hints of how IH3 generates the filenames and WHERE it stores such information...
This way a DIY investigation would be easier... :cool:
And obviously, thank you for your try...
