Organize product images into galleries

[garyc40]

Currently there's no way to organize existing product images into a gallery for a new product.

Let's say we have image A, B, C in the gallery already. When we create a new product, we don't want to re-upload B and C, but reuse them in that new product. There's currently no sane way to do that except to use each of them as featured image.

We should make use of the new Media UI for this. I wouldn't oppose to make WPEC 3.8.10 require WP 3.5+ just for this.

Gary, Are you thinking of storing media ids as meta data for a product rather than just relying on media attached to the product?

[garyc40]

Yes, something along that line.
