TheSecurityBunker Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I have got to say without a shadow of a doubt that the storage of product pictures in Prestashop has got to be the most ridiculous way of doing it possible. The only way this could possibly have been coded more badly would be to have included them in the database as blobs. Having added about 10 products, its almost impossible to find where each image has been stored without trawling through hundreds of permutations of directories. What's wrong with:- Product_ID/Image1.jpg Product_ID/Image2.jpg Product_ID/Image3.jpg Total nightmare ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rictools Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Maybe for a computer it's faster to read folders with not too many files. Usually there's no reason to look for the files as shop owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSecurityBunker Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 That's a good point. Not sure it would be faster but thought perhaps its a way to stop people trawling for pictures as easily? Either way its really annoying / nigh on impossible, to get your images back if you ever need to re-create products... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
