| Field | Description |
|---|
| Watch Directory | The local folder |
in wait to be | are uploaded to the web. |
| Archive Directory | The local folder to which image files are |
moved | stored after being uploaded to the web. |
| Watermark Image | The watermark file |
which will be placed over product images during processing. This should be an image with a transparent background (gif or png). |
| Valid Extensions | The acceptable file types for product images (e.g. *.jpg, *png). |
| Numeric Delimiter | The delimiter used between the product code and the values 1-5, which designates whether the file is Picture 1, Picture 2, and so on. The default delimiter is set to underscore (e.g. productcode_1.jpg, productcode_2.jpg), but can be set to another symbol if required. |
| Discard Delimiter | If the image file name contains characters other than the product code (e.g. dates), the Integrator will ignore all characters after the Discard Delimiter when matching image files to product codes. (e.g. a Discard Delimiter of "-" would mean the Integrator disregards "1/1/2001" in image file "productcode_3-1/1/2001.jpg") |
| Default Product Image Number | If an image file name does not include a numeric delimiter, it will be uploaded |
according to the value in this field. (e.g. "productcode.jpg" will be uploaded as Picture 1 if this value is set to 1).(Aidan - I think I've got this wrong - didn't you say the image would be assigned to all 5 image locations instead?)to all image locations that have been set up with sizing information (picture 1 through 5). |

| Send Images in Batches of |
This value determines Determines how many image files the Integrator will process at one time. Keeping the number low (e.g. 10 or 20), will reduce processing time. Please note: All image files will be processed on each send; batching simply prevents time-outs on very large files. |

TBC| If ticked, image files will remain in their original format rather than being converted to .jpg/.jpeg by the integration process. |
