Don't know about everyone else, but I am getting a bit lost in some of the threads as to what the current issues & suggestions are (opening another thread might not help!).
Rather than getting a big discussion going, how about getting
a simple list of remaining
quirks/issues/annoyances/suggestions to help Leo and the gang work through them all?
Here's mine:
UPDATE: I have numbered them all, NOT for importance but so Leo can simply say "numbers 1, 7, 15 are done and can be crossed off" and I can simply update them with a
strikethrough 1 Fix the bug where the same image appears on multiple pages when browsing
2 Remove the redundant links to the license that existed before the new Licenses tool (e.g. on the customer account page)
3 Remove the Standard License blue bar that appears BELOW the Download button (not sure why it's there, see here for example:
http://thpstockphotos.com/image/first-light/ )
4 Remove the words "Supporting Files" that appear next to the Zip option in the product table
5 Remove the brackets around the Price column on the product table eg: ( US Dollar ($) ) - remove both lots of brackets, just US Dollar $. When zip files are showing, these brackets get a little funky with the css and aren't really necessary anyway
6 Finish making either the base theme or the paid plugin FULLY responsive and mobile friendly - e.g.: the search bar & menu. Menu shouldn't have to be in the footer for it to work on a mobile device.
7 Add (perhaps in the paid plugin?) the ability for a couple of extra file sizes - XL, XXL, and make it so that file sizes only show up if the file meets the requirements for that size, which the author sets in admin
8 Allow the batch editor to only update options which have CHANGED, not just update EVERY option on the screen. eg: you could batch alter licenses, without altering a batches price or ranking
9 Make the Download button bigger (uses bootstrap I think, can just go to the next size up)
10 Add Sort options to browsing pages (newest, oldest, most popular etc)
11 Remove the "Images/Blog" drop down menu next to the search box by default. Can have an option to turn it back on if people want?
12 Slightly alter the text thats been created with extended licenses, where it shows something like this on the product table: "15.00+90.00 » 105.00", just space it out a little and replace the arrows with equals "15.00 + 90.00 = 105.00"
13 Allow the "Append Text to Title:" section in the Symbiostock admin/batch editor work on a per image basis. Eg: You could append "- Stock Photo" to stock photos, and "- Stock Vector" to vectors, instead of a one-size-fits-all approach.
14 Allow the licenses to be editable if you need to change something, such as upgrade price for EL's

15 Collections need to be more self-explanatory and simple.
16 Search Tracking should be implemented. (Base theme?)
Requested by DonLand
17 Images that are assigned categories but are not published are not shown when searching by a category.
18 Everything should be able to be added/removed in the bulk editor, such as Exclusive and Categories.
19 Need the ability to search for Drafts in the bulk editor.
20 Need the ability to search by Day in the bulk editor.
21 In the bulk editor the search parameters should be selectable there, i.e. search keywords, search title, search description.
22 When searching for keywords the search should auto fill from the list of all the keywords.
23 The search return number should default to last used value, not 48.
24 Need to be able to drag to select images in the grid. Much too labor intensive to click on every image chosen from search selection.
25 The drop down category search menu should not show categories that are empty.
Requested by Cidepix
26 The Cart Manager needs to be officially implemented and completed. (It was started for premium, now it should be installed as part of package).
sale stats by day, week, month, year?
27 download expiration
28 Display file id's to customers option
Requested by tdahl-stock
29 Ability to assign one value to selected images instead of all-values. (Seems to be same as #8 above)
Requested by jsfoto
30 one minor thing: I would suggest to delete the vertical line that separates the licenses (in my case standard and extended license) - if the vertical line is removed can the different licences be each on their own line (otherwise button can be on line line and licence description on the next if three or more licence options) <-- addition by Keriok
31 one which is important : We can set Model and/or Property Released when editing an image ... this information should be visible on the Single image pages (perhaps as part of the description?) Option to publish the release statuses of an image on the image page, visible to the potential customer
32 I would appreciate the possibility to add a short text (in addition to hashtags) to a tweet in the batch editor of the premium plugin.
Requested by AJT
33 New field in symbiocard - checksum (md5_file) of current symbiostock_image_info.csv
34 Cookie cart - VERY IMPORTANT (CAPS added by microstock man)
Requested by Redneck
35 Either in "Edit" image or in the Stocl Images sub menu -> Link to Drafts (for faster editing/processing)
Please try and read through the list before suggesting things as some are already doubling and tripling up. Thanks.I know some of these are minor things, but the cleaner the theme the better for the buyer.
