Title: Timeouts & price setting problems
Post by: plrang on August 03, 2013, 16:20
Scan network and update directory - timeout
Author options update - timeout

I just tried to update all my pics by setting the price, only 300 over.

So I got just an email that 300 has been processed and the white screen.

Over 40 files need to edit by hand, well, setting the price to 3 - makes it 0.03

To get $3 I need to enter 3.00

if your server is slow, the timeout is possible. I routinely process 2500+ with no problems

---------
the bulk editor will allow you to change all pricesat once

and yes, entering 3 is interpreted as $.03

I have the same problem
1) format, as learn on my own,  like just 1 will lead to prices 0.01, the right format is "1 . (point) 00" - And I think it would be better to specify it on Pricing and Options section.
2) the size of my port (about 3000 and it will be more) - script can on my side  process only 600-700 images at once and then broken, I can't choose which ones images to process so I have filling that it goes round. Ok this is a problem of server, but we need to solwe it. For example the  script can update pics consequently or using filter.
OR alternatively you can add setting price to bulk edit pictures operations, where we can select pics which are affected by it. Any way - to select pics for different pricing is a good for marketing purposes also.
As for now it is absolutely impossible to change prices on my port - I've tried it over and over two whole days already with few results.
UPD
OR the third way  - just add setting new prices (which are defined by author in author options) to bulk reprocessing images action in RF images - All images  view.

@cascoly slow or not, but simple 400 changes in the DB should not be too much
The number is not the case, just the procedure
