Is there a way to add an unlimited number of images to a product? I realise I can add a bunch of image fields to the product definition, but it seems like a lot of work. Especially since I'd want multiple images for all products.
Suppose I'd add Image1 through Image10 to the product definition, I'd have to add it to ALL product definitions...
Here is a few different ways around it.
If the product doesn't need to share images (all images is related to just one product), you could add a media folder in umbraco, and just pick the folder. That way you can easy create slideshows etc - but product A and B can't share the same image (drawback).
Alternative you can add your own multi-image picker datatype (or if you are using Umbraco v. 6 or lower, you can use umbraco datatypes).

Ah, I see, I didn't know you could also choose a folder as opposed to just a single image.
Image sharing across products is not very common in our use case so for us this should work just fine.
Thanks
