Why can't I clear my image cache? - magento

For some reason I cannot clear the images for this product.
http://avfgroup.com/jnl454 or any other product on my website.
The cache shows the old image - yet I cant delete it as it just coems straight back, my external images url points at the correct image.
I have also tried to delete the images in magento which also doesn't work.
I have cleared all caches and re-indexed and nothing seems to work?
We use toybananas External URL extension which points at the correct images.
Please help!

Most probably you use Flat product index and the index is not up to date. In the flat tables the old image is referred.
Rebuild your index (while you are at it, you can rebuild all the indexes) and clear the image cache after the indexes are rebuilt.

Viewing unused images in Strapi

I have users who add images to a Strapi Media Library. I can't tell if images are actively used or not. I would love to clean out images taking up space that aren't being used. Is there a way to tell which images are used on the site and which images aren't?
in images objects in strapi there is a field "related".
it's an array of data that uses the file. returns undefined if not used.
if you can't see the "related" field populate your request.

magmi do not import first media_gallery image

I'm using magmi 0.7.22 in a magento 1.9.3.1
I need to import several images, and replace all the current images by the new ones.
I'm trying first with on single product and I see that it is working fine, except that the first media_gallery image is not imported.
The test csv is the following:
"sku","image","small_image","thumbnail","media_gallery"
"S1712400-10","+/S1712400-5-10.jpg","+/S1712400-5-10.jpg","+/S1712400-5-10.jpg","/S1712400-2-10.jpg;/S1712400-3-10.jpg;/S1712400-4-10.jpg"
The import finishes without any error, but the image S1712400-5-10.jpg is not showing anywhere, though the other 2 following images are in it's place.
I checked that the image name is correct, and that it is in the same place as the other ones, but still the same result.
I cleared all the magento's caches, including the "catalog images cache" but see no change.
The same happens to all the products, the first image of the media_gallery is completely ignored.
I finally found the answer in this question: https://magento.stackexchange.com/questions/71962/import-multiple-images-with-magmi
It seems there is some problem with Image attributes processor v1.0.33a image renaming.
To solve this go to itemprocessors and in the Image attributes processor v1.0.33a select configuration. Then empty the Image renaming and save.
This solved my problem.

Magento Import cause Image missing

We simply export and amend several "item description" , import csv back
all Base/ thumbnail / small image linking are gone
in item page all photos still exist but the"key picture" show nothing
tried force save CSV on excel to UTF8 format, not a solution.
Most likely, you need to reindex and clean the cache.
Go to System -> Cache management, flush the image cache and Magento cache. Refresh all caches. Then reindex in System -> Index Management.
We have had a lot of success with Magmi: http://sourceforge.net/projects/magmi/ in terms of first time importing and updating product images.

magento bulk products upload images but do not display in version greater than 1.6?

These are the steps i followed :
I created a category and added product to it in the backend of
magento
System->Import/Export-> "export" the csv file .
Removed the current values of the product already added then added
values new values to it.
Copied that csv file to media/import directory where images to be
uploaded were also present. (value = /image001.Jpg)
Went on to import and it says import successfully.
Output :
Products with the data uploaded successfully
BUT
No relevant images found, while i can see images uploaded in media/catalog/product..... folder
I have visited many many blogs forums, spent alot of hours for it but in vain. So in last i am posting it over here.
I would greatly appreciate if someone can post in the whole process in steps with sample Csv file and also tell us required fields and values for fields ib brief.
In my experience you have to make sure you put the image information in all the right places in the import CSV file. The three sets of image columns (image, image_label; small_image, small_image_label; thumbnail, thumbnail_label) are what set which image will be used for what purpose. And, they are one image per product.
However, it is the media images columns (_media_attribute, _media_image, _media_lable (yep, misspelled in Magento), _media_position, and _media_is_disabled) that actually define the image(s) for the product. These media image columns have to be completed on a one row per image basis. The _media_attribute is the id of that attribute (77 in my experience). The _media_image is that actual name of the image file in your media/import directory (case sensitive). The _media_lable is the title you want on the image. _media_position is the relative order of the images for this product. _media_is_disabled is the flag for each image that identifies whether the image is shown in the product media group or not.
I try this also pcproffitt: https://stackoverflow.com/users/1202982/pcproffitt
I have noticed that in my .csv file the columns were only (image, image_label; small_image, small_image_label; thumbnail, thumbnail_label) - that was from my Magento1.3 export but when I try to import it there is no error in importing but the Images were not seen on the site.
Then I found your Answer that in new version of Magento1.6 the column name is defferent it is (_media_attribute, _media_image, _media_lable (yep, misspelled in Magento), _media_position, and _media_is_disabled)
Whoops! I'm badly solving this. What would your suggestion though since I have 7000 plus products and images on my old site to transfer :( Is there a way to make this things gonna work out?
Thank you Sir!

How can I reuse the uploaded images in Magento for another product?

Using Magento, is there a way to reuse the uploaded image for a product so that I can assign the same image to a different product?
You could assign the same image to the file using the export import. But this only works well if you are using one image. What you could do is export your products, set the image to be the same file on them all and reimport. That would set the image to be the same file.
Since the values are ultimately just stored as string paths in the database, the solution to this would center around changing that database value rather than using the Magento uploader (since we know that will duplicate the image).
There's a magento extension extension that makes this very easy
