What are the ramifications of "Calculate Image Size"?

[WoodsWalker]

Hi Folks!

 

I am finding conflicting information, so I wondered if anyone could tell me: what does admin's Images>Calculate Image Size actually do? I get the impression that it causes trouble, but what kind?

 

Also, I have never been able to figure out, in a stock osC installation, where does the system put the "Small Image(s)" and the "Heading Image(s)". I've tried experimenting, with confusing results.

 

Thanks!

Calculate Image Size - http://www.oscommerce.info/docs/english/e_images.html

 

Small Images = Thumbnails

Heading Images = Page Heading Images (example table_background_xxx.gif)

Sub-Category Images = what else, sub-category images. When clicking on a category which has sub-categories they display in the top middle of the main section.

 

:huh:

Thanks, Jim! Somehow, I had missed this page.

 

Still, I am left with a question. The explanation given on this page for "Calculate Image Size" is:

 

Calculate Image Size:

Calculate Image calculates the width and/or height settings that have been set.

 

Perhaps I'm dense, but I don't know what this means. If you've set the size, then what remains to be calculated? :unsure:

 

Thanks,
