Please see the first sentence of the above first post, then please follow the link in the second post (yes, written in what I would say is broken German as I seriously doubt it had all of the correct grammar and words).

As to the full path to images, the question would be does it need to be autogenerated to have that or could it be generated after download as part of providing the file to the associated service?

Currently, there is not a full auto-generation step in the code, but it could be incorporated. Recommendation would be to produce an additional field in the file so that the data of the original field could still be properly used.

Ohh, and lastly, would recommend changing the folder name for your admin and as necessary/appropriate may need to do the same in your store's .htaccess if you have generated one and it contains the current admin folder name in it.

Your broken German is a lot better than mine I went to your GitHub and downloaded your latest version - thanks for that.

So your post encouraged me to research how I could add the 'prefix' of the first section of the url to make the image url complete - perservered and found a solution on StackOverflow - so I learned something very valuable - so no need for the full url to be generated by the plugin for just this purpose.

cheers,

p.s. hopefully others may find this useful - how to add full url to generated 'part' image url

here is the process I used in the original download Excel file;
1. select all cells in column with image url
2. in Home go to 'format cells' in graphic at top towards the far right
3. click for dropdown box to show then click format cells in drop down box
4. in box that appears click on custom
5. at RH site in the empty box below the word 'type' simply type the full url minus the part that is already generated in this format "https ://www.your_full_ url_ segement_ to_ADD_ to_generated_product_url"@ - (url segment in " followed by @ - no space) and click OK
6. that code should now be in all entries making a complete url - that code will remain in 'custom' for future use

for OpenOffice Calc
1. select all cells in column with image url
2. in menu tabs select 'format cells'
3. in box that appears on LH side click User Defined
4. in the empty box near the bottom simply type the full url minus the part that is already generated in this format "https ://www.your_full_ url_ segement_ to_ADD_ to_generated_product_url"@ - (url segment in " followed by @ - no space) ... then click OK
6. that code should now be in all entries making a complete url - that code will remain in 'user defined' for future use (note that when used again it will automatically show up as 'text' but you need to scroll up and select 'user defined' then click OK (otherwise it simply adds text and not in the right format)
