Users - Virtual/Variant product ecommerce question

[Eric Crawford]

I would like to setup the following  product scenario. Can anyone tell
me if this is possible?

The product is a clawfoot tub. The variants are the finish on the feet
of the tub (chrome, polished brass, oil rubbed bronze, black, white).
In the ecommerce app, I would like to display an image of the foot
only for each finish as the selectable image on the product details
screen, but display the actual tub with appropriate foot finish in the
large image for each variant once a foot finish image is selected.  It
appears that the small images that are used to select the variant
product on the product details screen of the virtual product is the
image that is attached to the virtual product and not the small image
from the content of the variant product. I would expect that a small
image attached to each variant product would be displayed on the
product details screen of the virtual product, therefore, showing the
different options available.

Is there a configuration option to display the small image of each
variant on the product details screen? I am currently getting a copy
of the large image attached to the virtual product for each variant
associated to the virtual product. For example, if I have 5 variant
products associated with the virtual product, I will get 5 small
copies of the image attached to the virtual product, not a copy of the
small image attached to each variant.

I'm not quite sure what you are asking, you seem to be going back and  
forth...

The small images for variants should be attached to the variants, not  
to the virtual product. Is there a problem with that in your  
requirements? Also, larger images that will change on the fly should  
also be connected to the variants. The virtual product should have  
the "default" image for the set of variants.

Sorry. The small images are attached to the variants, not the virtual,
but the only time a small selectable images will display on the
product details screen is when I attach a small image to the virtual
product. Any image I have attached to the variant products won't
display as one of the small selectable images on the product details
screen.
I just noticed that this seems to be the way the example "Giant
Widget" product is setup. It only has images attached to the virtual
product.
