    Default Can't find multiple-image answer anywhere..please help

    My zen cart works perfectly. I have a pretty good understanding about it, although I consider myself still a novice, I can still get it to do what I want it too.

    Here is the problem I'm facing.....I sell embroidery designs. They come in

    1) Part one of set - 5 Designs (designs 1-5)
    2) Part two of set - 5 Designs (designs 6-10)
    1) Complete Sets of 10 Designs

    My images are all named correctly ie.,
    CCFCkt.jpg
    CCFCkt_01.jpg
    CCFCkt_02.jpg
    CCFCkt_03.jpg
    CCFCkt_04.jpg
    CCFCkt_05.jpg
    CCFCkt_06.jpg
    CCFCkt_07.jpg
    CCFCkt_08.jpg
    CCFCkt_09.jpg
    CCFCkt_10.jpg
    Of course this goes on with the CCFCkt_01_MED.jpg & the CCFCkt_01_LRG.jpg and it works flawlessly. This is awesome for the complete set. Here is my problem. I want to break these into 2 sets at cheaper prices. Set 1 with designs 1-5 and Set 2 with designs 6-10.
    I know I can copy and then rename all the images ie,
    CCFCkt1_01.jpg (for set one)
    or
    CCFCkt2_01.jpg (for set two however this used to be image CCKCkt_06.jpg)

    I really don't want to go through all that renaming of images, not to mention in a set of 10 it would be well over 100 images sitting on my server. How can I get Set 1 to be images 1-5 and Set 2 to be images 6-10 without renaming all the images and taking up all that server space?? Is it at all possible to do this?

    Thanking you in advance to anyone that can lend a hand.
    Hugs

    There's only one way to do what you describe, without doing extensive custom coding to manually map images to products.

    Set 1:
    CCFCktPart1.jpg
    CCFCktPart1_02.jpg
    CCFCktPart1_03.jpg
    CCFCktPart1_04.jpg
    CCFCktPart1_05.jpg

    Set 2:
    CCFCktPart2.jpg
    CCFCktPart2_02.jpg
    CCFCktPart2_03.jpg
    CCFCktPart2_04.jpg
    CCFCktPart2_05.jpg

    Set 3 (all 10 items):
    CCFCktPart.jpg and appropriate _MED image (note it's just "Part", not "Part1" or "Part2")
    existing CCFCktPart1_02.jpg
    existing CCFCktPart1_03.jpg
    existing CCFCktPart1_04.jpg
    existing CCFCktPart1_05.jpg
    existing CCFCktPart2.jpg
    existing CCFCktPart2_02.jpg
    existing CCFCktPart2_03.jpg
    existing CCFCktPart2_04.jpg
    existing CCFCktPart2_05.jpg

    Wow! I just tried this and it worked great! It took a little doing but I finally got it. I had to add an underscore, like this Part_1.jpg,
    Part_1_02.jpg, Part_1_03.jpg.......etc and the same thing for the Part 2 section.......once I did that it fed the images exactly like I wanted them without having to have over 100 graphics uploaded..........thank you so much!!!! You are awesome!!!!!!
