I have a weird image situation here. I was proud of myself when I finally got my file hierarchy correct. I have 3 sets of images , and all are filed in their correct places:

small images: /images/category & file name xyz.jpg (1.7kB)

med images: /images/medium/category & file name xyz_MED.jpg (2.1kB)

lrg images: /images/large/category & file name xyz_LRG.jpg (16kB)

On this particular product, I saw that I'd accidentally uploaded files, correctly named, to their respective folders. The large image, unfortunately was a low res small image - about 1kB. Using Image handler2, I deleted the large image, and then uploaded the new 450 x 450px, or 16kB file and updated.

I went to check and found that it loaded the larger image. Image quality - bad, and on checking the properties, I get 450 x 450px , but 1812 bytes. On desktop, the image is beautiful. The file shows as 16kB in CPanel

So, I try to delete the product in admin->categories/products, but it won't delete. (I can't delete any products in admin) Off I go to the database in phpMyAdmin, delete directly in the database. I go back to admin, and create the new product. Through FTP, I check the images are uploaded correctly - all present and correct.

On product info page, I get the same bad quality larger image again! I had this problem in 1.2.7 and my fix was to rename the image file eg from xyz.jpg to xyz_new.jpg. I don't think it is a cache issue, as I clear my cache every time I have a load issue.

What's up doc? I don't really want to rename all the files as the image names tie up with the product code (99% of the time). Is there a ghost in the machine?
