[quote="mike_steinhoff"]I am sorry to have you reiterate things, I did read the entire thread(twice).  I tried all the different thing that were mentioned in the thread, however, none of the previous fixes worked for problems similar to mine, and am posting as a last resort.

I would like all of the images to reside in the thumbs/ directory which is why I left the Main Thumbnail In Thumb Directory setting to true.

I have changed the image name to crackerjack.gif as you suggested, however when i click on enlarge image I still get a red x..and the path to the file is catalog/images/thumbs/jack.gif .....as Iunderstand it it should be catalog/images/images_big/crackerjack_big.gif  but its not workig that way.  

sorry to be a nuisance,

right and it will not if [b]Main Thumbnail In Thumb Directory[/b] is set to true.

because, 1st it will look for the big image.  Since [b]Main Thumbnail In Thumb Directory[/b] is true and the thumbs dir is "thumbs/" (7 characters), it will chop off the 1st 7 characters of the image name to get the actual image name (because in oscommerce to put product images in subdirs, you have to have the subdir as part of the name ([i]thumbs/crackerjack.gif[/i] as the name for example)... so it thinks the actual filename base is [i]jack.gif[/i]... so it is looking for [i]images/images_big/jack.gif[/i]... it does not find it and attempts to display the thumbnail instead... again in this case you have [b]Main Thumbnail In Thumb Directory[/b] true, but according to your info, it is not there and it is not part of the image name in admin, so of coarse a red X will appear...

I don't know how to make this simpler... if you have [b]Main Thumbnail In Thumb Directory[/b] true, but the product is not setup in admin to point there, there is no possible way the module can work.
