Importing product images

[jrmain]

The process we previously used with Magento 1 for updating product images created product import files with only sku and image filename columns. The import file was created automatically based on the image files found in a folder. This worked perfectly.

Unfortunately, it looks like this won't work for Magento 2, because product name and product price are required in the import file. We don't have access to name or price when creating an import file based only on image filenames.

I'm currently able to programmatically import product data to Magento 2 by exporting CSV data from our POS system, and using FireGento_FastSimpleImport2_Demo's importcsv command to import the data to Magento 2. I had hoped I could use importcsv with product images as well, but as mentioned above, apparently name and price are required.

Has anyone else run into this problem? Any ideas for getting around it?
