Thank you Nicolas, for explaining,
I'm a bit confused though, since in a previous post in this thread you state:
So if you upload new images, you need to delete the thumbnail folders in the upload folder images/com_hikashop/upload and HikaShop will then recreate them on the fly.
Anyway, how would I go about solving this? Obviously, uploading 800+ images manually takes a lot of time.
Would it be possible to upload a csv with just two columns, one with the product ID and the other one with links to the new images located in a different folder on the server (not the upload folder), that will initiate the watermark encrusting process and update just my images without changing other fields?
