I have a site which defines 15 image aliases. Now I'm in the middle of implementing a new design which will require about 10 new image aliases. It seems unnessesary for eZP to create all the aliases for all the images since some images are only used with some aliases. So my question is, is it possible to either
a) Delay image alias creation until an alias is actually needed for an image orb) Define some kind of relation between images in section B should only be aliased to alias C, F and G?

Hi Christian,
A) eZ publish creates image aliases on demand. When user first time will display image, image alias will be created.
B) You can use object relations e.g when one object image you will use in the several places of your site. Look on object relation datatype or use relations in object edit mode. You can keep images in Media then other objects can use them via relations.
