I will delete and reload the product shortly to see if it corrects the issue and get back to you.
Hi All,
I think that I found the issue at that was when I added the two products which I have two different suppliers with two different pricing.
1. Masport I just wanted to use 092852MA_01.jpg as the main image
2. Murray I wanted two images to show 092852MA.jpg and 092852MA_01 (Suppliers Box) so as not to confuse people when buying what brand.
It would assume that the image handler or zencart will not allow you to specify the main image on a product i.e. 092852MA_01.jpg on one and 092852MA.jpg on the other.
I hope I have explained this correctly to you all.

1. I had a look at the docs tab on the forum which is telling me that the image water marks should be located in the images folder. Would that be correct.
2. Also it stated that they should be in the image folder under large and medium folder. Would that be correct which end in _LRG and _MED
3. Where else would they be located because I want to remove files that are not needed because people that worked on the site left files everwhere and when they finished they left them there.
4. What size should the water mark files be because in the past I uploaded images to the site 400 x 400 and over the years I have resized the to a size of 1200 x 1200.
5. I thought that the new image handler was supposed to correct images and re size. The old version had an option in image handler where you could upload an updated image but it looks like that got lost in the new version which now makes very time consuming to say the least when programes should make things easier not harder.
As usuall any assistance would be a great help on how to fix and advise on what I need to do.
See my responses inline above.Quote:

I could be wrong but that is what I was used to in the past when I was building the site and it was a zencart module.
Just one other question where is the small folder located in the image folder or where is the small image located as I can't find it and does it have an ending in _SML.
Also what are the zoom watermarks.
Again, "old" isn't helpful; what version of IH are you referring to?Quote:

Give me a link to the documentation that refers to "zoom watermarks".
Ok the old module was called image manager version 1.9 that I know of and this is in the file on what it does:Quote:

1. Management of images, attached to products
Image Manager will provide a list of all files, that are present in the images folder and are attached to a product.
This includes additional files.
The following filters/sort orders can be applied:
- show products with status on or off or show all products
- show image as a link or show thumbnail
- show images that are present on all levels (small, medium and large) and have the appropriate size, show images that
don't, or show all
- sort order on folder/filename, on product ID or on size of the large image
- select images of one specific product
On each image, the following actions can be performed:
- Create a medium size image, if it doesn't exist yet, and if the small image meets the size-requirements for medium
size images
- Create a large size image, if it doesn't exist yet, and if the small image larger than the size-requirements for
medium size images
- Resize an existing medium size image if too large
- Resize an existing small size image if too large (only if both medium and large images exist)
- Resize an existing large image, if too large according to the configuration settings
- Upload an image from the local computer to replace an existing image. After uploading the image can be copied/resized
with the functions mentioned above
- Apply a watermark, if not already done while copying/shrinking the image. This is only available for sets of properly
sized images, and if a watermark file is present at that level. See the remarks on watermarking
- Delete a medium or large size image (small images cannot be deleted, they are deleted on removal of the product)
- Delete a small additional image
If the selection is made to show only the images of one product, IM will show a link to upload additional images for this product.
The link will show up beneath the list of images, and only if folders, access rights and configuration values permit this.
The products link to their 'edit product' page, to provide access to product details. Images that are attached to
multiple products will show all these products in the products column.
Image Manager will also check for the existence of the necessary folders and check access rights.
Non existent folders will be automatically created, if Image Manager has sufficient rights to do so.
2. Management of images, not attached to products
Image Manager will provide a list of all files, that are present in the image folder and subfolders. Both main image files
and additional images of products will be excluded from the list. The additional files are recognized following the naming
instructions in the Zen-Cart Tutorials/FAQ (see http://tutorials.zen-cart.com/index.php?article=58).
It excludes some folders that are known to have other uses, other folders can be excluded by configuration option.
The option to show a link or a thumbnail, or show the thumbnail of the file when hovering the mouse over the filename,
is also functional here.
A link is provided to delete the file.
Also, each image has a checkbox to select for multiple delete. After clicking 'Send' you will be asked for confirmation,
and the removal will be done.
Image Manageris quite the different animal/plugin from Image Handler. Further discussion of "Image Manager" should be in that add-on's support thread (which may or may not exist).
If it is different then why does it have the same basic layout.Quote:

Why is so.
Its some kind of fork from IH2 (!) by some guy called boudewijn => https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread....-Manager-addonQuote:
