Image Manager addon

[buildingblocks]

So to follow a client senario - is this how it works?

A client uploads an image via their add product
They go into IM and find the image
Then create the three images from the original.

Is that correct?

What directory should they upload the original to? The main one or the large one?
Once the images have been created the original is now not required, can it be deleted?

This is what I found

If I create a subfolder

images/books

and upload my products main image to images/books, Image manager creates a subfolder for medium and large images this way

images/medium/books
images/large/books



If I upload the image to Main Directory (which is the /images/ folder) , then Image manager creates the medium and large images in

images/medium
images/large

So your client would upload the main image to the images folder or if they are going to upload them by category type then create a subfolder in the images folder

Ex.
images/books
images/glassware
images/tools

Image manager will automatically create the corresponding folders in the medium and large folders.

Once the medium and large images are created, the small image offers a link to shrink the original image and that becomes the small image so you won't need to delete the original because the original is now resized to small.
