Can't find multiple-image answer anywhere..please help

My zen cart works perfectly. I have a pretty good understanding about it, although I consider myself still a novice, I can still get it to do what I want it too.

Here is the problem I'm facing.....I sell embroidery designs. They come in

  1. Part one of set - 5 Designs (designs 1-5)
  2. Part two of set - 5 Designs (designs 6-10)
  3. Complete Sets of 10 Designs

My images are all named correctly ie.,
CCFCkt.jpg
CCFCkt_01.jpg
CCFCkt_02.jpg
CCFCkt_03.jpg
CCFCkt_04.jpg
CCFCkt_05.jpg
CCFCkt_06.jpg
CCFCkt_07.jpg
CCFCkt_08.jpg
CCFCkt_09.jpg
CCFCkt_10.jpg
Of course this goes on with the CCFCkt_01_MED.jpg & the CCFCkt_01_LRG.jpg and it works flawlessly. This is awesome for the complete set. Here is my problem. I want to break these into 2 sets at cheaper prices. Set 1 with designs 1-5 and Set 2 with designs 6-10.
I know I can copy and then rename all the images ie,
CCFCkt1_01.jpg (for set one)
or
CCFCkt2_01.jpg (for set two however this used to be image CCKCkt_06.jpg)

I really don't want to go through all that renaming of images, not to mention in a set of 10 it would be well over 100 images sitting on my server. How can I get Set 1 to be images 1-5 and Set 2 to be images 6-10 without renaming all the images and taking up all that server space?? Is it at all possible to do this?

Thanking you in advance to anyone that can lend a hand.
Hugs

Re: Can't find multiple-image answer anywhere..please help

There's only one way to do what you describe, without doing extensive custom coding to manually map images to products.

Set 1:
CCFCktPart1.jpg
CCFCktPart1_02.jpg
CCFCktPart1_03.jpg
CCFCktPart1_04.jpg
CCFCktPart1_05.jpg

Set 2:
CCFCktPart2.jpg
CCFCktPart2_02.jpg
CCFCktPart2_03.jpg
CCFCktPart2_04.jpg
CCFCktPart2_05.jpg

Set 3 (all 10 items):
**CCFCktPart.jpg **and appropriate _MED image (note it's just "Part", not "Part1" or "Part2")
existing CCFCktPart1_02.jpg
existing CCFCktPart1_03.jpg
existing CCFCktPart1_04.jpg
existing CCFCktPart1_05.jpg
existing CCFCktPart2.jpg
existing CCFCktPart2_02.jpg
existing CCFCktPart2_03.jpg
existing CCFCktPart2_04.jpg
existing CCFCktPart2_05.jpg

Re: Can't find multiple-image answer anywhere..please help

Wow! I just tried this and it worked great! It took a little doing but I finally got it. I had to add an underscore, like this Part_1.jpg,
Part_1_02.jpg, Part_1_03.jpg.......etc and the same thing for the Part 2 section.......once I did that it fed the images exactly like I wanted them without having to have over 100 graphics uploaded..........thank you so much!!!! You are awesome!!!!!!
