Larger image showing wrong image

Ive uploaded some extra pics to the same folder as the original, the have the same file name and have the _1 added to the end on tje filename. Whe I click the uploaded _1 image on the site the original image gets displayed instead of the _1 image.

This is holding up my progress as I have a lot of items that require multiple images.
Any ideas as to what might be the problem?

Re: Larger image showing wrong image

Larger images should be named
myimage_LRG.jpg in images/large folder
myimage_MED.jpg for medium in images/medium folder
myimage.jpg is original image into images folder
myimage_01.jpg is additional image into images folder

Re: Larger image showing wrong image

This is only happening for one particular category, every other one Ive done works fine without uploading the _LRG file. The images get thumbnailed and scaled up to the original size.
I'll delete the products and try again, see if it happens again.

Re: Larger image showing wrong image

Are you using Image Handler 2 mod, or uploading manually or via zencart admin?

Re: Larger image showing wrong image

Just uploading the first image by admin then using FTP to upload the extras to the same folder.

INCORRECT..look at folder paths laid out in my examples
i.e.
LARGE image goes into folder /images/large/
NOT
/images/

Re: Larger image showing wrong image

Done as you said but still the same, doesnt make any difference if its in the large folder.

/store/images/Nixon_headphones/payloom-masterblasterbrown.jpg
What happens if you upload larger images i.e
/store/images/Nixon_headphones/payloom-masterblasterbrown_LRG.jpg to /store/images/large
and or
/store/images/Nixon_headphones/payloom-masterblasterbrown_MED.jpg to /store/images/medium

Re: Larger image showing wrong image

Do these inages med/lrg need to be resized or just the originals renamed? Im backing up the site to use image handler if its any good.

Re: Larger image showing wrong image

Depends on size of original images re resizing...any image
must be uploaded re filename, in accoordance with my
samples...
IH2...will do it all you...upload large image via admin image handler2....it will resize automatically for small,medium and large, according to image settings you have set via admin

installing/configuring zencart..

Re: Larger image showing wrong image

Ive been looking at image handler and their seem to be a few issues with it that Im not too happy about so I think I'll give it a miss until I have more time for it.
As for the images Ive followed the tutorials to the tee, Ive even deleted the category and set it up again just in case, but whatever I do it still displays the first image in the pop up. Im going to have to resort to Photoshopping the 2 pics together and try it that way.
