Re: How to use existing image?
Let's see If I can resurrect this one. I am selling songs, so 10 - 16 products all have the same CD image. Can we have an existing image function of some kind?

For Drupal 5.x all of the images are located in a folder called 'files'. There is an imagecache folder with processed images, etc. Just FTP into the site, ect.
There could be a Drupal 5.x module that will work for your application. Check Drupal and see.
Re: maages
I have looked there and that's how I found the problem. The issue is the product creation interface. The only way to add a product image, is to upload an image through the filefield. When you use a duplicate image, you end up with filename.jpg, filename_0.jpg, filename_1.jpg, etc. filling up the files folder. Maybe this is a limitation of the filefield/imagefield modules and I should address it there. Actually I kinda know it is, but I wondered if anyone here had any ideas.
It will be great
I have been looking for this solution for months without success. Is there really a way to reuse those image? Seem like i am not the only one looking for this solution. Please help... Thank you
Re: I have the sama problem
the solution is really simple, you may use FileField Sources module, which is still in dev but works fine. I use one together with IMCE file browser
good luck
Re: How to use existing image?
Is there any solution to this problem? Many products in our catalog have the same image. We would like to create content of type Image and upload an image for each product type. Then when we create content of type Product there would be a list of "Existing images" to choose from.
Using existing image for products
For those still interested in how to utilize FileField_Sources with a File Manager, you should be able to reference the file already on the server. This is easy to do, once you actually know how to do it.
First you need to install the following:
After installing the modules go to Administer > Content Management > Content Types and select Manage fields from the Products content type.
You will need to Configure the Image field, one of the menu options in the configuration is File sources, here you will need to check on Autocomplete reference textfield, save your changes.
Now create or edit a product, than click on Add another item under the Image, you'll see the option of Reference existing select it and type the name of the file you want to reference, you'll get various options as soon as you start typing.
