Difficult to remove old images and replace with updates
We have New images with upgraded watermarking
We have to replace each and every single product image one by one - unless there is an easier way
Old images cannot be deleted from the system

A Replace All facility would be ideal for this, which would also help when optimising images.

Order by currently only allows for newest, Name A to Z and Name Z to A, with an 'Oldest' option it'd be easy to delete any redundant files a lot easier.

Hello David.
If you go to the top of the screen of your store when editing, click Design then file Manager on the right.

Search for the image/images by name, then delete them OR add the newer image and use the same image name and the system will ask you if you want to replace the old one.

Being able to rename existing images would be an advantage. We imported products from another platform and 2,000 (lots of size/colour variations) images have meaningless names. If we could change the image names to the product name, then images may show up more in searches and that may help get natural search traffic to the site.

Hi David, you can delete unused images by following the steps in this Guide: https://support.ekm.com/support/solutions/articles/44002424322 and you can quickly replace product images by using the Import/Export System to update lots of products all at once. :)
