IH2 has NOTHING to do with how additional images are managed in Zen Cart. Additional images and how Zen Cart associates multiple images with one product is core Zen Cart code. Suggest looking at the Zen Cart FAQ for additional images, and taking a look at how your original images are names.. I took the liberty of posting my FAQ search results..

Otherwise it's a GUESS as to what's ACTUALLY happening on your site. So without a link to your site.. Well you know the drill around here...
The reason folks ask for the site link is that for nearly all modules, it is DIFFICULT and near impossible to help with troubleshooting issues without a link to the site.. This way the people you are asking for help can see what you see.. It's a much more efficient way to help..
For me, given that I work in software dev, I've learned over the years that a written description of the problem is not always in and of itself enough to KNOW and SEE what is happening.. I have to see what you see so that I can get right to the issue versus guessing at what it MIGHT be.. So I personally won't even try an lob guesses at a problem I can't "see" (others may feel differently)..> flix:
IMAGES COPIED TOO MANY TIMES BY IH 2?!?!?
Hi there,
I love the Image Handler, but surprisingly when I create a new product and upload an image using IH 2, it sometimes creates 4 copies of this 1 uploaded image and in addition adds 4 copies of a second image as well which I did not upload for this new product.
E.g. the follwing screenshot from the product detail / info page shows you what happens if I upload 2 images via the IH:

The 2 correct images are marked with a green checkmark, the additional unwanted copies automatically and wrongly added by IH are crossed in red.
Has anyone experienced the same?
-> This only happens from time to time!
-> I have set "Product Info - Number of Additional Images per Row" to 4. This should not have anything to do with IH but I ask myself whether it is a coincidence that IH produces 4 additional images... ????
Image names are very simple without special characters (e.g. 4001_iphone4_display_02.jpg).
I am running ZC 1.3.9d.
