item images disappeared after update to 2.10.1 was created by Franz Heine

after the update from 2.10.0 to 2.10.1 my item images disappeared.
The category setting are the same. The images still are in the folder: media/k2/items/cache/

But ive to confess. I compressed the cached images (regarding image size) with photoshop and because i just needed one size of the pictures (L), i erased the other 5 sizes.

Could this be the issue?

Yes, because unlike previous versions, we check for the existence of the "generic" size and based on that construct the URLs for the other sizes. That's 5 less disk I/O operations per image, which may be considerable on large sites.

I recommend not tampering with K2 files.

Use this to regenerate your images: github.com/getk2/rebuildK2imageCache

You need SSH (terminal) access to your server. If you have that, you simply execute the script with "php /path/to/script".

Solved it!

If you dont have SSH, just copy rebuild.php to the root and call it over the browser. For ex:

yourdomain.com/rebuild.php

After success the result is displayed in the browser.

Important: Erase after the rebuild the rebuild.php from your server

Sure, it works, but you need to disable any timeouts. Plus, you won't get any progress feedback...

In any case, issue resolved :)
