I keep getting the following message when trying to import some images:
Important Data is imported successfully
New Objects - 0
Updated Objects - 89
Skipped Objects - 30
Total - 119
None of these products show any images yet this message is the same each time I try to do an import. The image files are good. Names match and I can't see anything else wrong with the csv. Other imports worked fine. The recurring message seems to me to mean there is a db problem. I'm planning on deleting and reimporting these products and trying the image import again. Any insights appreciated.
would need to see the image import path to tell really, usually most problems of this is due to dodgy paths either upper or lower case problems with both name and file extension or location

Thanks for reply. Here is the header and first line of my import csv:
Product code,Pair type,Detailed image,Position
“DRDCLT8396”,“M”,“/home/dldollt/public_html/var/exim/backup/images/DRDCLT8396_1-Doll-high-chair#{[en]:Doll High Chair with Accessories;}”,“1”
PS- Looks like you nailed it sight unseen. I noticed as I posted this that the filename lacks an extension due to an omission in my Applescript. A file is a Finder object in Mac OS and it's “name” property does not include the extension. I shall now retry and hopefully report success in a few minutes. Many thanks!
The good news is that it mostly worked when I corrected the file names. A bit of bad news is that the images for two products did not import still. Example lines that did not work, w headers, are:
Product code,Pair type,Detailed image,Position
“DRDCP223L”,“M”,“/home/dldollt/public_html/var/exim/backup/images/DRDCP223L_1-Alexandra-white-wicker-doll-carriage.jpg#{[en]:The Alexandra, a beautiful classical white wicker doll carriage.;}”,“1”
and also:
Product code,Pair type,Detailed image,Position
“DRDCP639F”,“M”,“/home/dldollt/public_html/var/exim/backup/images/DRDCP639F_1-play-wicker-doll-buggy.jpg#{[en]:Isabella Play Buggy Small;}”,“1”
I tried to import these a second time by creating a new, small CSV file with images just for these two products and they still did not work. I thought at first that filenames might have been excessively long but that really shouldn't matter, and besides one of these have a filnename which is shorter than the ones that worked. All's well that ends well, but it bothers me that two did not work for no apparent reason.
I always copy the import url and paste it in my broswer, to check if the image shows that way, replace the /var/exim crap with the web url and obviously remove the en alt name section
