I am currently using an excel spreadsheet to upload new products. Is there a way to upload more than one image for a single product via a spreadsheet format?

All that I see is the ability to upload 3 different sizes. I want 3 sizes of 3 different photos uploaded.

The only way I currently see to do this is one by one add them to the product. Is there a more time efficient means?

Hi nas, see this article in the documentation about a workaround for http://wiki.earlyimpact.com/how_to/import_additional_product_views - importing "Additional Product Views" .

At the bottom of that article there is a link to another useful one about using image batch processing to quickly resize images at the same time.

Hi Nas,

We just released our Batch Process Images add-on tonight. This takes care of the large part of your concern, as it just requires that you name the largest product image by it's SKU, then you FTP up a whole batch of images to a repository, and press a button to batch process resizing all of the general, thumbnail, and mini-thumbs AND update the database.

With this, we could make a slight customization to process three sets of images for each product in the same way.

Have a look at http://wiki.earlyimpact.com/widgets/thirdparty/batchprocessimages - wiki.earlyimpact.com/widgets/thirdparty/batchprocessimages -- then PM me if you are interested in using a customized version of this. Should be a very simple customization.
