Section 5.4.8 of the manual clearly states that you can have multiple images per product, but this appears to be totally wrong. The instructions don't follow:
In order to do this please go to Administration > Shopping Cart > Products & Categories > your category > your product > Images
Ummm.... no such thing. There is no Administration > Shopping Cart
All I have is Administration > Products > Top > Category > Edit Product
and this does not allow for multiple images.
This was one of the primary reasons i used this cart for my project, so right now I'm pretty peeved. I hope I'm just overlooking something obvious.
Anyone?

Update: The instructions are off.
Under Products you click on the category and then there is a list of products and you must click on the tiny link that says "images", otherwise you can't get to the page where you add multiple.
However: there is still bug with the resizing of uploaded images and it makes them too small instead of using the specified admin settings. You apparently have to resize them yourself and upload them into the proper folders. Again, I hope I am overlooking something, but I'm pretty sure this one is a legitimate bug.

Actually, it works fine, I'm just stupid.

He does have a point, though.
The multiple image handling is really very hard to get to work properly.
I found the best way was to FTP up the pictures, which I re-sized in a batch, then go through and pick the right name for each one.
I've got no idea why there are 4 sizes of photo in 4 different folders. Totally mad, especially when trying to have (say) 3 images of a product on a page.
Also, having little thumbnails and the dimensions of the image on the listing selection page would make doing the right selection far faster than having a pop-up under "View".
