Wow! I'll say!

I would like to add only two images for a couple of products (and only need the original thumbnail). Is there some sort of add on that would give me this ability?

I mean which store owner (non webmaster) would ever know how to add more than one image per product?

These tutorials I can manage for my few products, but my website owner could never do this. Are there any simpler solutions yet?

The way to add more than one image is to use the naming convention outlined in the tutorial. It's pretty simple.

Thanks for your reply.

Am I missing something here? What I am asking is for an add-on or solution that does not require a ftp program. FTP program is simple for me a webmasters yes, but not simple for an everyday computer user who wants to easily upload different images (via the admin control panel). What if they want to change the second image? They have to download, configure, and install an ftp program just to change an image.

I am looking for something to add-on (if possible) to the control panel so they can upload a second image (just like they upload the first image) within the product edit page.

Do you know if such an add-on exists?

Sorry, I misread your original question. I thought you were asking for an addon to manage additional images.

I understand what you're asking, but I'm not aware of any such utility for the admin. Someone else may chime in with more info.

Hmmm. That seems like an add-on that makes sense and could be useful.

Take a look at Image Handler 2 in the Free Software Add Ons section (link above). I use IH2 but none of the sites I manage use multiple images for products, but it looks like it has a utility to add additional images.

* Manage your multiple images for products easily from one page just like you do with attributes in the Products Attribute Manager.
