Images
These are the settings for all your images in the store. You can edit them to whatever you need.

The "Small Image Width & Height" are the image sizes of your products in the product listing page.
The "Heading Image Width & Height" are the image sizes that are uploaded for each category.
The "Subcategory Image Width & Height" are all the sub-category image sizes.

I have found that the easiest thing to do for your own images is to totally remove all the "width" measurements. Do not put a "0" in the space ... totally remove it and leave a blank space.
Then put an image in your admin and osc will resize it according to the "height" measurement.

Enable or Disable these as you see fit.

Download
You need to enable this if you are going to allow people to download products at checkout from your store.

First, put the product to be downloaded in the download folder on the Internet:
catalog/download

It will be read from the "pub" folder.
Make sure /catalog/pub is 777 and /catalog/download is 755 and these files in catalog/includes/configure.php have the forward slash:

define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'download/');
define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'pub/');

Under configuration in the admin set up the download info, true, true, expiry date, max number of downloads.

Add the product in the admin under "catalog", "categories/products.

After you have added the product go to "Product Attributes" under the "Catalog" heading in admin.

Choose the product in the bottom "Product Attributes" box.

When you choose a product and have download enabled in the configuration section you will see a box below the "Product Attributes" section where you can add the product as a download.

GZIP Compression
