    Okay, but when import product from html in xml file and generate the xml to csv, and have picture separator (;), then when uploading the images whit ftp have problem:
    The prestashopmanager try to download the pictures from the original link without separatos eg.: https://xxxx.com/picture1jpghttps://xxx.com/picture2.jpg
    this goes to fault, any 401 error, because that pictures are unavailable, because the links are wrong! (hoever in the xml to csv conversion is okay, and have separators between the http pictures)
    The links in the generated csv file are: https://xxxx.com/picture1jpg;https://xxx.com/picture2.jpg
    By the ftp task the links are: https://xxxx.com/picture1jpghttps://xxx.com/picture2.jpg
    Can You help me, how can resolve this problem?
    (sorry my bad english)
