image zoom (version 1.5)

2 questions:
Is there an image zoom feature?
I noticed that after I set my images to 600, 300, 125, & 80 pixel dimensions in the admin, the images show up in the correct size, but the 600px image is never shown on the product page - ie there's no zoom.

Also, Is there a setting to use the SKU (instead of an incrementing number) for the picture names?

Thanks!

There is not image zoom in v1.50 but there is a light box.  If you click in the product thumbnails it will show the lightbox.  If you want your pictures to be sku names you will need to name them as such.

if you upload more than one image, thumbnails for all the product images appear - when you click them, they open up in a lightbox at the largest size you set in 'media'

you can also edit the c# to make a thumbnail appear even if it is the only product image

great!  I'll probably incorporate the oBout control for the picture zoom feature.  I'll post the code up here in a few days.
I figured out how the pictures are stored and am writing a winforms app to resample all the images to their various sizes and rename them.  I can upload the source (VB, but it can be converted to C#) as well

I would also be interested in see how you get the Image Zoom to work.

you can use Jquery for Image Zoom

Here's the test code : http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex4/imagemagnify.htm

Hope it helps

I did some reasearchs and found some good JQuery plugins

here are the examples :
