Add Image order new  

Hi, we've been using Auction Wizard for a few years now and are very happy with the product, but there is one little thing that bugs us on a daily basis that I was curious to see if there was a work around for.

When we Add Images, they never load into AW in the numerical order they are in from the file folder. This means for every listing, we have to go and order nearly all the images from top to bottom, and can be a time waster for listings with a lot of photographs.

For example, we first re-name the images to the item # for the listing. So we would have 18587.jpg, 18587 (1).jpg, 18587 (2).jpg, 18587 (3).jpg, etc. We go to Add Images and select the first image down to the last and load them all at once and they are always in the opposite order when loaded into AW. 99% of the time we want the items ordered in the order in which they were taken.

Any ideas for workarounds? Possible fix for this? It would save us a lot of time every day! Thanks.

Hi,

You might try using CTRL instead of SHIFT to load numerous images and see if that has any effect on the order they are loaded into AW2000.

Let us all know if that works or not.

And thanks for joining in on the boards. How nice to meet you!!

I will give that a shot tomorrow and see if it changes anything. Then again, our main focus for this is speed, and CTRL will be slower than SHIFT, but if it works it's still faster than having to order all those images! Thanks!

Hi,

I hear that about speed. I like things that move fast... I don't move slow.. more like the speed of light

I hope it works. You'll be the fastest CTRL holder downer and mouse clicker on your side of the Mississippi.

Let us know!

Re: Add Image order new [re: bluepennylady]  

Unfortunately using CTRL didn't make a difference.

Selected images in order starting with 18589.JPG moving down to 18589 (4).JPG, but they load into AW in this order: 18589 (3), 18589 (2), 18589 (1), 18589, 18589 (4).

I wonder if this is something that could be updated/fixed in AW. Not having to order images for EVERY auction would save us tons of time. Especially those listings with 20+ photos!

Thanks for the suggestion though.

Re: Add Image order new [re: cyberauctions]  

Hi,

Thanks for the update. I'll pass the suggestion along to the AW2000 team. I do not recall precisely what causes the images to load in a different order other than what is selected. I'll have to ask. But it seems to me, and don't hold my feet in the fire on this one, but it seems it was actually a Windows issue and not an AW2000. Something in the back of my memory keeps trying to dig its way out.. That could be scary..

But I will pass the suggestion along. And if I find out what causes the it, I will let you know.

Thanks ever so much for letting us all know.

Re: Add Image order new [re: bluepennylady]  

Yeah, I was kind of thinking it might be something with Windows moreso than AW. Perhaps something could be coded into AW to compensate for Windows' crazy file-opening shenanigans. There certainly is a pattern in which files are opened (first image loaded is the 2nd to last named, works 3, 2, 1 up to first image then the last image named is the last loaded).

Thanks again!

Re: Add Image order new [re: bluepennylady]  

I usually just start at the last image and go up to the first - then it shows in the reverse order from what I specified, but it's the order I want them in! Hope that works for you ... glenda
