Separate product images into subfolders?

[EvanGR]

Hello,

For a site with over 50k products, handling product image files is a pain when they are all in the same folder. The FTP client takes a minute or two just to show up the files, and it's slow in general.

That's why we need to separate product images in subfolders (per product category).

This however may create issues with thumbnails creation, since VM expects a single root for all product images.

I am also worried the functions (we use from time to time):
"Reset Thumbs"
and
"Synchronize Media to Virtuemart"

...may cause further chaos.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

I use subfolders to make my products more manageble. Products/Lensadapters, lenshoods and so on ...
I then use the multi image upload plugin from studio42. Right now it only manages one sublevel, but maybe Patrick is interested in helping out with more sublevels.

"Synchronize Media to Virtuemart" still works with subfolders under product/

Yes, Max helped me with this some time ago, but uploading images is still a bitch, the multi image upload plugin makes this easy.
