So while it works, you still need to create loads and loads of extra import rows, and you need to put the image that you want to be the main image for the product last.

I've been importing multiple images per product for a couple years. Simply use the standard import profile and upload a CSV or XML to the correct import local. In it, place the following two columns (sku and image): sku image SKUX /image1.jpg SKUX /image2.jpg SKUX /image3.jpg This of course works AFTER you have a product in the DB but it is simple...

Magento 1.4.1 Import works well, base, thumbnail and additional gallery images. Somehow the pictures are only shown on the product page (gallery) the base image thumbnail is not shown in the categorie listings. After checking in the admin panel (in the storeview I used during import) the the specific picture is there and base, small and thumbnail are selected for it. No matter what changes I make in the storeview, the thubnail image wont show up. After switching to Standard Storeview saving anything inside the image section and turning back to my specific storeview EVERYTHING works. Anyone got an Idea why all values on the specific storeview are correct in the admin panel but wont be used in frontend? Hi there,

I am also using this script but encounter a strange problem and looking for a sloution for 2 full days now.

Magento 1.4.1

Import works well, base, thumbnail and additional gallery images.
Somehow the pictures are only shown on the product page (gallery) the base image thumbnail is not shown in the categorie listings.

After checking in the admin panel (in the storeview I used during import) the the specific picture is there and base, small and thumbnail are selected for it.

No matter what changes I make in the storeview, the thubnail image wont show up.
After switching to Standard Storeview saving anything inside the image section and turning back to my specific storeview EVERYTHING works.

Anyone got an Idea why all values on the specific storeview are correct in the admin panel but wont be used in frontend?

It still works fine on 1.4.x. The only thing I had to change is to convert the two instances of split() with explode() inside the csv model due to my recent upgrade to php 5.3.

It would be no different than the code I posted. I did it this way to help teach people how modules are created and how they work. Matt:
