preserver Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 (edited) Does anyone know if you have to keep image files on your site once you have uploaded a csv? I believe prestashop takes the originals and saves them in different sizes somewhere else. I have not looked at the database. I don't know much about it, but I'm thinking that once prestashop processes the images into different sizes, that I don't actually need to have the originals saved still. I stupidly used a huge number of unnecessarily large image files. Though the site doesn't seem to run slowly, backing it up takes about an hour. I suspect that is too long and that it is because of the size of the original image files. I would like to just delete the originals, so the site doesn't take so long to backup. If anyone can shed some light on this, I would would appreciate it very much. Thanks! Edited July 23, 2013 by preserver (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NemoPS Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 You're right, prestashoip copies those imagers and creates its own thumbs. So yes, you can go ahead and erase the original ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preserver Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share Posted July 23, 2013 From experimenting with it, if you ever plan to change the size of the various thumbnails, you should keep the originals uploaded . I tried doing so with the images deleted, and it didn't work. When I re-uploaded the images (same names, but I had changed the file size with some photo-editing software) I was able to regenerated the thumbnails. Hope this helps anyone with the same situation!

NemoPS Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I am not sure you can import from dropbox, does it work if you try using a normal url? Is the picture on dropbox accessible directly (exact link) via browser, without password? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
