    .../Large/Normal/PicName.jpg

    .../Large/Normal/PicName2.jpg

    .../Large/Normal/PicName3.jpg

    etc, etc.

    So, I've got lots of different product/manufacture categories and would like to group the pics according to the manufactures.

    Possible or not?

    Would the following work:
    .../Large/Normal/Manufacture1/PicName.jpg
    .../Large/Normal/Manufacture1/PicName2.jpg
    .../Large/Normal/Manufacture1/PicName3.jpg

    .../Large/Normal/Manufacture2/PicName.jpg
    .../Large/Normal/Manufacture1563/PicName.jpg
    .../Large/Normal/ManufactureABC/PicName56.jpg


    Make sense?

    but back to your question..I have my images set up as this:

    store/images/promos/vendor folder/pictures in here

    with IH you do not and will not need the medium or large fodlers anymore. as long as you let IH know where the image is stored you will only need the main image then the rest will have the same name as the main one with _01.jpg after it...changing the number for each additional image.

    you will then be able to get rid of the images you have in the large and medium folders.

    hope that makes sense, they would look as this for additional images:

    .../images/manufacturers/Manufacture2/PicName.jpg
    .../images/manufacturers/Manufacture2/PicName_01.jpg
    .../images/manufacturers/Manufacture2/PicName_02.jpg


    then the same for each manufacturer...and if there is only one image for each manufacturer then just sorting them into each folder for them is fine..just remember to name the image as close as the product so you don't accidently overwrite the other one.

    Agree with DarkAngel, upgrading to IH3 is a good choice. Also, there is a very nice image naming tutorial in the IH3 Read_Me on the Troubleshooting tab in the section "Prepare Your Site for Growth"

    Hi, my BMZ_CACHE folder is full of images.
    Can I delete it regularly? Do I create any error for ImageHandler2 or catalog?
    Is it un unuseful directory or I have to leave it?
    Thank you

    Imagehandler will not work without the bmz_cache it is where image handler stores the images it creates,

    Don't delete the images manually unless there is an actual problem using the image handler clear cache function loxcated

    Admin --> Tools --> Image handler2

    There should be 4 tabs

    manager - admin - preview - about

    go to the admin tab and click "Clear image cache" and this should delete all images in the cache

    Image handler will rebuild the cache as images are requested by your store, so there should be no problems, i personally clear the cache about once a year (or before I do a full site back-up), just to clear out any images of products that are no longer available.

    Ps if you are using the latest version of zencart you really should be using IH3, as it contains a few bug fixes and better compatibility for IE9

    The problem is that the IH2 clear cache tool is not working.

    If I empty the bmz_cache every month the images in the store are continuing working?
    I'd like to know if bmz_cache can be emptied without damaging anything.

    Thanks

    If its not clearing the cache something is screwy with your setup (normally a server side permissions/ownership thing)

    Yes you safely can delete all images and folders in the bmz_cache folder. image handler will recreate them as they are required.

    do not delete the .htaccess file and the .keep file, the main reason we try to avoid people going the manual route is quite frankly some people delete first ask later and then neglect to tell us what they've done when something goes wrong.

    What I cannot understand is:

    If I add additional images to a product, then IH2 creates some files in bmz_cache (true?)

    If I delete all files in bmz_cache what happens to the additional images of the products in the store? Do they disappear? Is anything unchanged? If so, what is the reason for bmz_cache to exist?

    Sorry to bother, but I want to make my mind clear on this.

    Thank you,

    IH2 takes your original images and makes optimized and resized copies of them and stores them in the bmz_cache folder. It leaves your original images untouched.

    So, if you delete image copies from the bmz_cache folder, or clear the folder altogether, nothing happens to your original images. However, next time the page is loaded, copies of the images will be once again placed in the bmz_cache folder.

    Every time that page is loaded in the future, those image copies are served up from the bmz_cache folder, ensuring that your pages load faster (because the image copies are optimized and resized according to the IH2 configuration settings you specified when you installed IH2).

    Suggest you download the IH3 installation package (it has a better READ_ME file) and read the first tab of the READ_ME...which explains what IH is and what it does. This might help you have a better understanding.

    Good luck and happy Zenning
