Image transfer between OFF and OPF/OBF/OPFF

[Sebleouf]

What

[I hope this issue doesn't already exists, I couldn't find the documentation for it.]

• It is currently impossible to transfer an image from OFF to a sister project (OPF/OBF/OPFF) if a product already exists on the target site.

There are currently two cases:

• the barcode does not exist on the target site, so all the images and data on OFF can be transferred to the target site

• the barcode already exists on the target site, an error message appears "Please correct the following errors: A product already exists with the new code". It is therefore impossible to transfer an image and/or data to the target site.

• This possibility needs to be unblocked, and I imagine it can be done by following the same principle of moving images from one product to another, which has worked very well on OFF for many years.

• The challenge would be to empty this category (over 2,000 products) for example: https://world.openfoodfacts.org/category/open-beauty-facts; which is far from complete (I think there is more than 10k). This would allow more photos in the target projects and also improve the overall quality of the OFF database. Once I've solved this problem, I'll be able to transfer the photos to thousands of products myself, as this is very important to me. However, if it's already possible to automate the transfer to the OBF category, that would be great!

Thank you in advance for dealing with this issue.

You're quite right @Sebleouf. This is related to the rearchitecture of Product Opener to handle more gracefully products of any kind.
