Ice - what do you mean by "upload pad for pictures"? Can you explain it more clearly because I don't understand.

OK so what I'm telling you works in 1.4 with image watermark 1.3.... it may not work exactly the same in 0.3.1 - but you'll get the idea {I've never used that version - so I'm only guessing}

Create a new dir in the files dir of the cart (top level) put in there the files you want to display - I'm assuming here that you are going to set the files to the size you need - same size as the images you have previously uploaded. Because you are uploading the images directly, you will also need to upload a set of thumbnails as well, (which you'll also have to create)

In either the long description or short description add this code there - ****you will notice that its housed in the div class called photo - that tells the shop to display the images exactly the same way it does with every other image - you need to keep this....!

You will see there is an absolute path to the image and the thumbnail so they will be seen onscreen. I called mine xtras and in that dir I had two more, one for the big images and the other called tmb, for the thumbnails.

There is a simple href click on the image to show it - I guess you can add as many as you like - for an experiment I had 35 pictures on one page - *** If you put all these images into a table setup - you can generate a nifty little gallery page

<div class="photo">
<td><a href="./files/xtras/big/bigfile.jpg" rel="lightbox[group]" title=""><img src="./files/xtras/tmb/tmbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="./files/xtras/big/bigfile2.jpg" rel="lightbox[group]" title=""><img src="./files/xtras/tmb/tmb2.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></td></div>

This will add two more images in your description page/s or category page/s - depending where you put the code - {long or short description}

This may seem like a lot of work, but.... it works... ***{leave the div - look at your css for the name of the class} If you don't - it will not work, OK?

what i like to do is

changing the upload map files\products to files\products1
how can i do that

in config/general i see this
$config['dir_products_files'] = 'products/';

but i guess if i change that the rest is gone or i will see errors

sorry for bad eng again

Ohh my bad, I thought you wanted a direct link because you had al limitation quota [qoute -my hosting only aloud 2000 images in that map -- quote]

If what you are asking is to change the config file or something within the structure of QC - I guess the guys at OpenSolution are your best bet.....

Ice - it is quite a lot of work to do this, you have to make modyfications at least in core/files.php, core/files-admin.php, core/products.php, but I'm not able to describe it here step after step.
