kannu777 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 whenever i am adding a new product to my catalog, i am noticing that each product image is being duplicated multiple times in various sizes for places such as thickbox, category, large_scene, thumb_scene etc. overall each image is duplicated 13 times for one of the reasons above. I am new too prestashop and my question is do i really need to have all these different options such as cathome, homeproducts, thumb_scene (13 overall). i saw that in preferences>image all these options are listed and i can delete them if i dont want, but since i am very new to prestashop i am not sure what is best way forward. can someone please explain/help me with this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vekia Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 this is not a bug - this is how prestashop works. you can define list of generated images under the preferences > images tab. as you can see - your store uses images in various positions like homepage (homefeatured module uses home_default image type) on product page you've got gallery (thickbox), product list use other images, when you click on image - you see it in original size... all of this need separate image sizes, so you've got many thumbs of your product image... it's better to use them, than to use only one image type.

kannu777 Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 hi thanks for replying. i understood this part, however the problem happening is i have a catalog of about 3000 products, each having 3-5 images, all of which are now replicated 13 times each. the img/p folder now has over 150,000 images in this single folder because of this, and has become very hard to manage. does anyone have any suggestions, i would appreciate the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
