Product image not displaying in category or search view

I have a test site where some imported product images are not being displayed on the category view or the search view.
It does however show up on the product page.
These products were imported / updated to reflect new images.
Category view

Product view page
http://sales.magentocommerce.net.au/index.php/irrigation/driptube/221002-drip-eze-pc-13mm-2l-h-0-3m-50m.html
Other products whose images were uploaded manually is showing up.
All cache has been cleared and disabled in Magento.
What else am I missing.
I suspect the database records got screwed up somewhere on these products.
I am running out of ideas to what else to look out for and need a fresh pair of eyes.
Magento ver. 1.9.0.1
It sounds like you forgot to reindex your data.
Go to System -> Index Management, click select all (or at least select the first four indexes) and then press submit to reindex.
I note your image is almost 2MB. On my shared hosting with 1and1, I cannot use such large images as Magento's image processing (eg producing thumbnails) falls over as it runs out of memory. I therefore have to preprocess any large images to shrink them down to something my Magento can handle.
One other thing, png files tend to be significantly larger than jpg files.

Getting configurable product options pre selected from the layered navigation

I have several configurable products (with many simple products associated to them).
When browsing the super attributes through the layered navigation, you can filter down to all products that have (for instance) size= medium, Colour = Red.
I have set my simple products to not be visible and showing my configurable products, however, when you select the configurable product, the product options do not default to what has been filtered in the layered navigation.
Is there a way to get the relevant product options pre-selected on the product page?
suppose the user selected the filters from the listing page as size ="medium" colour ="red"
Now when user selects the configurable product from listing page after applying filter corresponding values must be pre selected on product detail page.
There is no ready-made way to do this. When the request is made for the product that product knows nothing of the layered navigation state. In theory you could add in some server side code to do that however this might have a performance penalty as you might not be able to use cache effectively.
You could do something on the front end in javascript. Add an event listener to the links in the filtered navigation and store an object in local storage, e.g. with size and colour.
On the product page you could then set the configurable product according to those values by waiting for the configurable product options to be built, then load the options object from local storage and then update the configurable product accordingly. You will need to then fire off events so the product page knows that options have been selected and can do things like update the price accordingly.
Internally Magento uses attribute option values that have numerical ids. These can be a bit complicated to work with, so you may want to put some logic in to read the labels instead, e.g. 'Red' instead of e.g. '461'.
There is no prototype specific way of working with local storage and you don't need some layer of jquery, normal javascript should suffice when it comes to storing/retrieving your size/colour object.
I found the following article to be the head start needed for doing things with the configurable product drop-downs:

Is there any way that stores have other media than default on Magento?

How can i separate, medias for different stores in Magento? For example: I have two stores "Store1", and Main Website Store by default. When i upload any image or something else on Store1, image has been stored in default media folder.
So my question is, is there any way to local storage for Store1 can be other media, that is not default? Thank you.
In Magento you can select different image for different website or store view. It works in the same way of the others field. From the admin interface, when you are on a product page, switch on your desired store view using the combo box on the left, then from the image section, uncheck the checkbox "use default value" and select the image that you want to display as base image, small image and thumb, relative to active store view. Than, if you want that an image is unavailable in your store view, you can use the "exclude" checkbox. If you are searching something to completely separate images, I think that Magento by default doesn't have this feature. I hope that's useful.

Allowing For Multiple Images in Product Gallery for One Attribute

If you edit a product and browse to the media gallery, you will notice that each type of image (Base, small, thumbnail) is a radio button. Furthermore, if you create your own product attribute and assign it to the product, it too is a radio button.
The intended functionality I would like is to upload many images and assign it to that attribute. I am creating a gallery on product view pages, and each product has an arbitrary amount of images.
I would like to know if there is an easy way to do it, and if not, what the best solution would be. I am running Magento 1.6.0 for this project.
If you upload images and do not assign them as base/small/thumb, then Magento will automatically create an image gallery for you on the product page. you could also extend the catalog/product/list.phtml to display a gallery on the category and search results listing if you wanted.
So, AFAIK, there's no need for you to change the application functionality in the way that you describe.

Get Specific Product Images based on the label in magento

I want to create a nicely crafted featured product slideshow on the homepage. And for that, I want to pick a single unique images of that product. Is it possible get that specific product images based on the label to be shown on the featured product slideshow on the homepage? Or is there any other better way to do that (getting a specific email with certain identifier)?
thanks before :)
