Satchmo already allows you to upload images to product variants so I would just check to see if those images exist, then trigger the behavior. If someone doesn't want to use it, then it would be a template change to yank it out.
Using this method, you wouldn't need to do anything special with uploading or naming images outside of the normal upload process. Basically it should be a small modification to the product views and some jquery to make the magic happen. Just my thoughts without actually looking at any code. -Chris On Thu, Jun 30, 2011 at 1:14 PM, rafael <rafaelcro...@gmail.com> wrote: > I have some time to work on this.
