New format of storing article pictures

English forums

Hi!

I’m just now upgrading from version 4.4.4 to version 4.7.7. When I tried to copy all my product pictures to the new shop they didn’t show up on the site. I created a new product in admin, uploaded a picture for it and saw that the picture (and the generated ones) are stored in a slightly different format then before.

In 4.4.4 my #1 pictures were stored in out/pictures/1.
They are duplicated with one having an _ico suffix.
There are also images in the out/pictures/0 directory with the suffix _thumb.

In 4.7.7 the same pictures seem to be stored in out/pictures/generated/product/1/{SIZE}/ . So each image size gets it’s own subdirectory. I actually like this new setup but I don’t see any straightforward way to upgrade my shop now. I don’t see any mentioning of this pretty fundamental change anywhere in the documentation.

Is there a migration guide or something that I’m missing?

pictures in different sizes are generated automatically on first need - you just have to upload the master-pic (into /out/pictures/master/{number}/) and write the name of the pic into the database, everything else works like voodoo when you first load the article in frontend

Thanks for the quick reply! This is exactly what I need. I’ll use my old master images and have oxid regenerate the rest. That’s great also because I can just copy the master image directory around instead of 500Mb worth of generated images :slight_smile:
