Where to put uploaded images for products...?

[WebKat]

That tutorial is great! Thanks! I'm just confused about one part...

This is the bit from the tutorial:

For the large image (used in popups) I use FTP and upload:
/images/large/dvd/a_bugs_life_01_LRG.gif
/images/large/dvd/a_bugs_life_02_LRG.gif
/images/large/dvd/a_bugs_life_03_LRG.gif
/images/large/dvd/a_bugs_life_04_LRG.gif

For the medium image (used as the main image on the product_info page) I upload via FTP:
/images/medium/dvd/a_bugs_life_MED.gif

NOTE: There is ONLY ONE ( 1 ) Medium Image used per Product on the Product Info page: (pages named product_info, product_music_info etc.) The naming is related directly to the original image.

Now you do not need to use subdirectories for loading your images.

All images can be loaded to:
/images
/images/large
/images/medium

I'm not sure whether he's saying that you can upload your differently-sized images (with the _LRG or _MED etc suffix) into the same folder, or whether the _LRG needs to go into /images/large and the _MED into /images/medium...? It seems to be saying both. Do I need to use the sub-directories or can I load the images all into the same folder?

_LRG needs to go in the large folder, and _MED in the medium folder. Or, you could install the Image Handler mod and let it take care of everything:

Unfortunately the Image Handler mod doesn't work with 1.50

The line

Now you do not need to use subdirectories for loading your images.

refers to the use of a /dvd/ subfolder for the first example

/images/large/dvd/a_bugs_life_01_LRG.gif

This in my opinion confuses the issue, introducing two new concepts at the same time without distinguishing between them. A better formulation would have been to use a product that used the basic /images/, /images/medium/ and /images/large/ folders for the first example.

I agree. It confused me.

So what image do you use when you upload an image with your product when you add a product? small, medium, or large?
