Images with placeholder #19

Closed rokka-n closed 10 years ago

rokka-n commented 10 years ago

If the real image absent, module would create renamed files from a placeholder one. The problem is that all images created are all the same, on large web-sites that consumes a lot of space.

Specifically images in folders such as: media/catalog/product/cache/1/small_image/190x290/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/images/catalog/product/placeholder/small_image

Is it possible to adjust it or this is a core mage functionality?

Thanks for your message. Since ecommence sites with large amounts of placeholders are extremly uncommon, you are actually the first who has raised this issue. It is a core functionality to automatically use the placeholder image. Even in a native Magento installation it would be scaled and written to the image cache directory. It would be possible to change that behavior in this extension, but I have to give it a low priority. There are other outstanding issues with some of my free extensions with a higher priority, so please don't hold your breath for me to change this.

No problem, Vinai. I noticed this only on a stage version of prod server, where I hadn't copy all images on purpose. On production site most images would be real of course.

OK. I'll leave this issue open as a reminder. Thank you.
