What about exporting pictures from Magentogo?

Great post! I would like to suggest another practical solution. To make import/export products with images, you can export SKU and Image gallery columns with help of Store Manager for Magento application. In most cases all the other import tools require more columns for import, thus the procedure will take more time. With Store Manager you can use only SKU for identification and other fields you need to import.

I just wanted to clarify this helpful post.

When you enter the image names onto your spreadsheet, you need to put the same /imagenamewhatever.jpg in all three columns for images.

If you just put it in the image column, it wont show up as thumbs etc.
