+===========================
+POS Default Empty Image
+===========================
+
+In the point of sale, trying to load known inexistant images is a waste of time.
+
+
+When you have 8000 products in your Point of Sale and most of them don't have images, 
+you are happy to save thousands of useless requests : the POS load way faster.
+
+Technical information
+=====================
+
+Each time the pos instantiate a product, it will add an
+
+    <img src="'/web/binary/image?model=product.product&field=image_medium&id='+product.id;">
+
+The browser will trigger as many requests than there is different url.
+
+
+If you have many products, the browser will soon reach his limit of network connections to Odoo server and
+will wait for free slots instead of loading other valuable contents. Then the POS is then very slow to work with.
+
+
+This module adds a field _has_image_ in product.template and will change the product image url to his default placeholder directly in the POS.
+
+Because there is only one url for this placeholder, you will have only one request for all the products with no images.
+
+Indeed, if the product has an image, it will load normally.
