Duplicate Images

  • This was causing some confusion for me as well.

    From what I can tell if you use just the file name in your CSV file “Featured Image” or “Product Gallery” columns it does not appear to create duplicate images.

    You have to be sure to set the “product_gallery” and “featured_image” headings to the “product_gallery_name’ and “featured_image_name” columns before doing your import. It seems safest to upload and set the headings every time an import is done to be sure.

    When I was using the full url for the images it appeared to duplicate things so my products ended up with images like file_name-1.jpg and then after doing another import file_name-1-2.jpg etc.

    I thought it was a bug at first but maybe just a misunderstanding / confusion about how the image columns work.

    if you use the URL to import, the image is imported every time. And therefor can be duplicated. But for the importer there is no way of knowing if it is a new image or an adjusted one.
