Picking photo's when listing.
Okay out for some support here as I think this suggestion would be a benefit to nearly all.
It involves the placement of photo's when listing via the standard system provided by Quicksales.  Not EL.

I know its only a click or two but I would love to be able to load the photo's and swap them around if necessary.
Instead of loading the one you want to be your main / show photo , then click upload, then load the others.
It would same time if you could load all at once then swap them around if necessary at the bottom of the page.

Anyone else who thinks this would be good drop a line to Admin please.

In subject put " Swapping photo's around":

In Message put a request to be able to swap the position of uploaded photo's.

My suggestion only but the more who request it the better the chance of it happening.

Good Afternoon sheila-bloke47

Actually the advanced picture uploader does that already it allows you to upload 3 pictures all at once.

I use it all the time all I do is choose which one of the 3 I would like uploaded first and so on.

In other words it lets you choose the order you would like your pictures to be in before you upload them all at once.

Pictures
Up to 3 free pictures for each item can be added using our advanced picture uploader. The first picture will be shown in search results and category lists as a preview picture.

Advanced picture uploader features:

  • No file size limit
  • Fast uploading times
  • Upload up to 3 pictures at the same time
  • Original picture size will be automatically reduced and optimized
  • Requires ActiveX support or Java runtime machine
Works with most browsers

Thats what I use normally Monty.  But I don't seem / realise that when I tick 3 is it the first one I tick that gets number one spot of is it the first one of the 3 ticked in the file that gets number one spot.

Will have to go find something to list to check it out.

I use that too, and they seem to load alphabetically no matter which one I tick first.

Good Afternoon weinerpatrol

You have a good point there.

I have never noticed that before most probably because all my pictures nearly all have the same title when I upload them.

See thats what I mean Monty. 

I take three photo's. 
Name them when downloading from camera to computer. 
- plant 1, plant 2 plant 3. 
Okay if I tick all of them plant 1 is the main photo / search photo. 
If I want no 3 to the the main / search photo you tick that one alone, upload it then tick the other two photo's. 

I know its only a couple of clicks but if we could just tick all 3, upload them then swap them around so no 3 is first then that is a little time saver.

SB - I understand what you mean, and it took me a while to work out a good system. I decide the order I want to use the 3 photos for the item before uploading. I then label them in order - mine all have the same file name but I add a number at the end for each (1, 2 and 3).

I've got so good at the system now that when I download the photos from the camera and do my editing and save for web, I give them the numbered file name from the start. Makes it very easy to get them in the order I want them to appear.

Monty - I assume you now realise what SB meant - you can't upload all 3 photos at once in an order that doesn't follow alphabetical or a numerical file names.

I do as Magnolia has said -  name them in the order I want to upload - much easier that way



SB it's a great idea and worth mentioning ot the Techies to add to their list

Thanks Pashima,   if you think or anyone else thinks it a good idea to be able to swap around uploaded photo then as I said the more the merrier.  Maybe they will look into arranging it if enough ask for it.
