Why is my Impulse theme 3.4.0 looking for a 50x appended image file?

Topic summary

Main issue: In the Impulse theme 3.4.0, color swatch images are being requested with a “_50x” suffix, causing a mismatch with uploaded filenames.

Details:

  • The user followed Archetype Themes’ color swatch setup guide.
  • They uploaded an image named “rosa-terra.png”.
  • On render, the storefront requests “rosa-terra_50x.png” instead of the uploaded file.

Impact:

  • The expected swatch image does not load because the requested filename does not exist with the “_50x” suffix.

Status:

  • No solution or workaround has been provided yet in the thread.

Key questions outstanding:

  • Why is the theme (or Shopify) appending “_50x” to the swatch image filename?
  • What is the correct naming convention or configuration needed so swatch images resolve correctly after following the guide?

References:

  • A link to the Archetype color swatch setup guide is central to the context.

Hi Experts,

Following the guide at

https://archetypethemes.co/blogs/impulse/how-do-i-set-up-color-swatches

But when rendering Shopify is looking for filename appending a 50x in the end.

So I uploaded a file like : rosa-terra.png

But page is looking for rosa-terra_50x.png

What could be wrong ?
