Hi Alex,

I am exporting the file and then, with no edits, re-importing it again. The GD system creates new image files for all but the parent categories. I see the files in the normal GD folder along with all the other GD related listing images. Can you confirm when you try that test, on an install you have there, that you do not see the same duplication?

Hi Alex,

OK, That process of the system creating an additional one for each subcategory is something that I could live with but why does it create new ones every time we do an import when the referenced file is already in the correct folder? Is there a method to stop creating new ones after the initial load if they haven’t changed?

Hi Alex,

I get the duplicating even when re-importing the exact file I export. It has the files referenced by wp-content/uploads URL already; isn’t that the format you are refering to? The URLs below were taken direct from the export file; the first entry is the parent category and the three below that are subcategories of that one; they were all set to the same URL and file name as the parent when we first started importing and exporting. We have done that round-trip 4 times now as we are trying to figure this out and as you can see the GD system keeps creating “copied” versions and making new files. The prior ones always remain in the uploads folder seemingly abandoned as they are no longer referenced in GD. It does not duplicate the parent image files though. We don’t want GD to enumerate these images as unique files for each subcategory; how do we stop that?
