But I also noticed that although I have set product descriptions and product names to display, they are in fact missing. How can I re-upload the records to delete the existing records and repopulate the catalog? And what might cause product names and descriptions to not display?
Status of 9 will delete the item with that model #. So that would delete the product.

Sort of an aside, I've seen several people recently extend the length of their category name. I'm just curious about what kind of category needs more than 32 characters. Somewhat rhetorical.
As for images, yeah I would go with IH4 (Image handler4). It will accept a file (suggested to use the largest sized photo) then recreate the image in the sizes desired (provided the desired size is not larger than the current size of the new image) for small, medium, and large. Sure, if you have a specifically desired image for one of the other sizes, then you can upload that image to the desired size designation. There's a lot of features/options associated with it and they are described in the user manual. There are some obscure connections between options, but they're there.

The lack of display, does the same issue occur even when you use the classic template? There is at least one template that I know of that doesn't display certain information without applying a fix first. Otherwise, I have seen that if the database isn't utf-8, that could cause such an issue by certain conditions.
