With the multivendor version, we separate the folders the each vendor have his own folder and can't access to images of other vendors. But for the main vendor or with HikaMarket front-end, the vendor is the manager of the entire store and should have access to all images.

So now as I have maybe thousands of images inside vendor1, to make my own software compatible with both folders without having to reenter all vendor1 images to upload folder, can I use a symlink as an extention? Wil it work or will it provide unexpected results in hikashop / hikamarket?

If you really want all images in the same folder, I see two kind of solutions : - Move all images (and thumbnails) in the "upload" folder and then update the "file" database table to replace "vendor1/" by "" (using a mass-action for example). - Edit the HikaMarket "product" controller to replace the block Code: if($vendor_id > 1) $options['sub_folder'] = 'vendor'.$vendor_id.DS; By Code: $options['sub_folder'] = 'vendor'.$vendor_id.DS; In order to re-set the "vendor1" folder for new uploads.

Anyhow I don't see how in Mass Actions to change the "file" database. When you say Mass Action you mean to use HikaShops MassAction system?

I'll create a feature request for Xavier. So, in that case, a SQL query will be easier.
