Counting Number in Picture File Name

Hello,

I use the file system as storage for my pictures. Any uploaded picture is saved to the image-Folder and renamed as a number with the id at its end and a counting number (e.g. 0000023_0.jpg).

My question is: What is the counting number for? In my case it is always 0.

Kind regards, Stephan

Hello Stephan,

You can find the generation of the picture name in the PictureService.cs (~/Libraries/Nop.Services/Media/PictureService.cs) on line 169:
var fileName = $"{pictureId:0000000}_0.{lastPart}";

The first number is the picture id with some zeroes in front of it. Then there is a "_" character and the number after that indicates the width of the picture in pixels. NopCommerce generates different thumbs for different sizes of the picture so it doesn't always load the large original size image. The 0 should indicate that that is the original image that was uploaded, unchanged by the nopCommerce application.

Hope that helps!

Regards,
Anton

Thanks!
