You can also click and drag files from a file folder on your desktop. Simply click on your desired files and drag them into the main window of the "Image File Manager." When you unclick the files, the system uploads them one by one.
Item images are rendered on the front end using the CatalogItemImageControl which is included as a sub control in the following controls:
Implementation Note:
When passing the EnableZoom property as true to any of the controls listed above, the CatalogItemImageControl automatically creates thumbnail and detail sizes of any Item detail images. Be sure to upload a photo of a high enough quality for a zoomed-in version of the image.
When no Item detail images are present, or EnableZoom is passed as false, then the featured photo designated by the UsePhoto property is used. Finally, if no featured item photo is present, a category photo can be used when FallbackToCategoryPhoto property is set to true.
