That's not possible since you can have several files for a product and thus you need to have them in a different table. 2. Anything is possible if you code it ![:)](/media/kunena/emoticons/3.png ":)") But it's not a priority for us compared to developing payment/shipping plugins for example. But you can surely develop it on your end as a plugin if you want.

I thought it might be possible in a similar way to tiered pricing and how that is listed in the csv file. i.e. 0.12000|0.07000|0.09000 AUD|AUD|AUD 0|9999|999 all|all|all one could have it as: imagename-a|imagename-b|imagename-1 image-file-a|image-file-a|image-file-a As for developing a plugin, I could take a look, but probaly like you a lot on. But I will look at at and maybe post back here for some guidance. Thanks again. --- Don't look at what is and ask 'why?'; look at what isn't and ask 'Why Not!'

Like currency. Hence there would not be the need for the extra file ( xxx_hikashop_file), and name generation for images would be batch added and images could have proper names without manually adding. Make sense?
