title: Magento import products with images
body: <p>I have tried all afternoon to import some products in Magento, but all without any success. After trial and errors it all came down an "Image does not exist" error. I have read a few posts about it, most of them outdated, but then a recent <a href="http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/224928">one</a> talks about putting everything in <code>/media/import</code> and having all files named like <code>/image.png</code> in the CSV file.</p>
  
  <p>It does not work and I still get the same error.</p>
  
  <p>I'm using Magento 1.6.2 and I have tried putting the files in</p>
  
  <pre><code>/var/import/image.png
  /var/import/i/m/image.png 
  /media/import/image.png
  /media/import/i/m/image.png
  /media/catalog/product/i/m/image.png
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have tried to name the file in the CSV as</p>
  
  <pre><code>/image.png
  /1/m/image.png
  /media/import/image.png
  /media/import/i/m/image.png
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>...and a bunch of combination of them all (not exactly sure which ones as I used a random approach at first, trying what the forums suggested, but without any luck). I have tried to located the piece of PHP code where the image file is checked, but failed... again.</p>
  
  <p>So, what folder does the importer looks for the file anyway? What is the way of doing this? There are a lot of people with the same problem and it does not seem to be any official solution for this. Any help appreciated.</p>
