CSV Product import

[Mark Williamson]

Hi guys,

When I'm doing a csv product import I pre-load all of the product images to "/public_html/prod_images/"  first and then specify this path in the img URL part of the csv line.

 

All works well but I was just wondering if the images stored in this "/public_html/prod_images/" directory were still needed once the import is complete because when I  look at the path of the product images in the shop's front end they are pointing to something like "/public_html/48707-48714-large/19-06-2013-img549.jpg" ?

 

-it seems that once the import is done, the product images are resized into the thumbs, full-size etc and put into prestashop's internal directories, so I presume I could delete the images from the "/public_html/prod_images/" directory which I'm only using for the import.

 

(Using Prestashop version 1.4.7.0)

 

Does anyone have any thoughts on this please.

 

Mark.

You do not need to keep the original images.

Thanks Richard,

It'll be handy to save some space - this customer loads around 2,000 products per week and most of the product images being loaded are in excess of 1MB each :-(
