I am also not able to make the whole additional Images thing work. I printed up and have worked throught the tutorial written by Linda McGrath.
My products are in images/product
I have a images/medium/product and images/large/product
I have a product called 123456.jpg in the images/product folder
I have 123456_01_LRG.jpg and 123456_02_LRG.jpg in the images/large/product folder.
I have checked configuration and my ext is set to _LRG.
In the tutorial Linda says you can have a_bugs_life_01.gif, a_bugs_life_02.gif, a_bugs_life_03.gif with the corresponding images in the mediu, and large folder. I am assuming that these all go to one product. What I am not understanding, or even seeing, is what these extra images do. I know what I would like them to do, click them and see all the images associated with the product, but it does not seem to work that way.
Can anyone clear up what this will do for me or post a product where I can see it work properly?
Thanks
