Media Library Settings

Media Library settings control how your asset library looks by default, how WISEPIM handles files when you upload them, and whether images get linked to the right products automatically. Get these right once and every team member starts from the same clean, consistent view.

​

Display preferences

These settings decide how the media library looks the first time it loads. They give your whole team a consistent starting point for browsing assets.

​

Default view mode

Choose how assets appear:

​

Default grid zoom

When Grid is selected, set the thumbnail size, from Extra Small (maximum density) to Extra Large (best for detail). Smaller zoom levels fit more assets on screen; larger ones make individual images easier to inspect. This option is disabled in List view.

​

Default sort

Pick the field the library sorts by on first load, plus the direction:

• Sort by: Date Added, Date Modified, File Name, File Size, File Type, or Rating.
• Direction: Descending (newest, largest, or Z–A first) or Ascending (oldest, smallest, or A–Z first).

​

Asset card details

Two toggles control how much metadata each asset card shows:

• Show file sizes: displays the file size (for example, 1.2 MB) on each card. Useful for spotting oversized images before they slow down your storefront.
• Show image dimensions: displays the pixel dimensions for images. Handy for confirming an asset meets a channel’s resolution requirements at a glance.

​

Upload behavior

These settings control what happens automatically the moment a file enters your library, so your team spends less time on cleanup.

• Detect duplicate files: warns you when a file with the same name or content already exists, so you avoid cluttering the library with copies.
• Auto-generate thumbnails: creates optimized thumbnails for uploaded images automatically, keeping the grid view fast and crisp without any manual work.

​

Auto-link images to products

This is where the media library saves the most time. When auto-linking is on, every image you upload is matched to a product automatically, based on an identifier embedded in its filename. No more opening products one by one to attach photos. Turn it on with Enable auto-linking. When it is off, your auto-link configuration is saved but no automatic linking happens.

​

How matching works

WISEPIM reads the filename, pulls out the identifier, and finds the product whose identifier matches. You control three things: which identifier to match on, how it is separated in the filename, and how strict the match is. Identifier field — the product field to match against. Choose from: Filename separator — the character that splits the identifier from the rest of the filename. Pick Underscore (SKU123_front.jpg), Hyphen (SKU123-front.jpg), Dot (SKU123.front.jpg), Space (SKU123 front.jpg), or Exact match, where the entire filename (before the extension) must equal the identifier. Strip file extension — when on, the extension (for example, .jpg) is removed before matching, so SKU123_front.jpg becomes SKU123_front. Case-sensitive matching — when on, uppercase and lowercase must match exactly (SKU-1 will not match sku-1). Leave it off for forgiving, case-insensitive matching, which is usually what you want.

​

Walkthrough

With SKU as the identifier, Underscore as the separator, Strip file extension on, and case-insensitive matching, uploading SKU-12345_front.jpg runs like this: The settings panel shows a live preview of this flow as you change each option, so you can confirm your filename convention works before you upload a batch.

Save your changes

Edit any setting on this page and a save bar appears at the bottom:

• Save: stores your media settings on the project.
• Undo: reverts every change back to the last saved state.
