For the mods: is this the wrong place to post this kind of questions, maybe? Better to switch to the developer section? I saved more than 100.000 inodes deleting all fileType files and all emtpy subfolders of img directory, so I guess that if it's confirmed that this is an acceptable behavior, many people could have benefits of that. Above all who uses shared hostings.

Update: apparently, deleting all that "fileType" files seems to have no side effects. I did it, and all images seem to be online like before, also after a cache cleaning. Other interesting stuff: as soon as I regenerated thumnails for images through backend interface, 8979 new fileType files appeared into img/p folder. I'm wondering if that files are helpfull in any way, or maybe necessary for some reasons. I'd like to have some experts' opinion on that.

Hello, I found a large number of inodes into the server that hosts my prestashop installation. Investigating, I discovered a strange situation on folder img/p We have about 8600 products, most of them with just one image. img/p folder contains 172.775 objects, 1,8 GB 62860 are jpeg files 50467 are files named "fileType" The fileType files are in every folder, and contain just a text: "jpg" What's that? May I delete them to save a lot of inodes? I looked for an answer on google and on these forums, but I can't find any topic related. Maybe it coud be related with this: http://forge.prestashop.com/browse/BOOM-1848

Hello Daniele, I had the same problem and I found the solution here: https://github.com/PrestaShop/PrestaShop/pull/8281/files/533f5a4e988bf6422198553c8803ac60210ae3ed It's a bug, I guess it will be fixed in v.1.7.3. Before, we need to apply this patch.
