Import / Export: Article images
Please mind that you can only add new images with this import, it is not possible to delete images by using an import.
Before an import to the live-system is done, you should create a database backup. In any case the import should be tested in a test- or staging-system.
Basic images
For importing images for items we need to mind, that images are always assigned to the main article. It is not necessary to import the same image multiple times for each variant. If you want to import images with the same name multiple times you can configure in the plugin-configuration.
The image relation is always structured like this group:option For example like this:
{Size:L}
{Color:Red|Size:XL}
{Color:Yellow|Size:S|Taste:sweet}
{Color:Red|Size:XL}&{Size:L}
Currently an export of images is not possible via cli.
