Is it possible to use full URLs of image files stored on webservers other than the one used by my shop installation?

ie.

http://www.SomeOtherServer.com/images/1234567890.jpg

instead of keeping a local file

'images/1234567890.jpg'

Not easily. Kartris places images in a particular place so when it displays a product, it knows exactly where to look to find the image. This means it does not have to store the names or locations of images within the database.

It would take a wholesale rewriting of the image handling to be able to use remote images.

Thanks, I figured that out when I came back to it a couple of hours later. I ended up writing some VBA to convert the image URLs in my CSV product data to file names and the download each image into a temp folder so that the Data tool could manage the images during a data import.
I felt it was useful to leave the post in place just in case others had the same question.
