Title: Batch Model Release, Submit All, and Pagination
Post by: Linda - YayMicro on June 01, 2011, 04:08
Hi!

Finally we've added some new features for you photogs! The most important one is a batch model release. This makes it very easy to add model releases to several photos, also if you have several models. Log in, and go to our test server to take a look:http://dtest.yaymicro.com/describe.action?batchRelease] [url]http://dtest.yaymicro.com/describe.action?batchRelease (http://[url)[/url]

(If you don't have any images and releases, take a look at the picture of it: https://www.facebook.com/join.yaymicro (https://www.facebook.com/join.yaymicro) )

We also added a Submit all-button, and pagination. Small features, but it makes life a little bit easier!

If you have any feedback, comments, suggestions - let us know! We are making this for you, so it's important that it's what you want and need.


Cheers,

Linda

thanks, a very welcomed feature.  I'll test it out later today and give some feedback.

First off, here is a cleaner link :)
http://dtest.yaymicro.com/describe.action?batchRelease (http://dtest.yaymicro.com/describe.action?batchRelease)

The tool worked good and I liked the main design of it.  The submit all is a very welcomed feature!  Two things slowed me down, and one extra thing.

1. when I added releases to an image it shifted all the other images to the right (to make room for the release name).. so my eyes had to adjust to the new list layout.  I clicked another list and everything shifted places again.  It would be nicer if a blank release area was there at the start so things didn't get shifted

2. If would be cool if the left and right side had independent scrolling.  I found myself zipping up and down the page many times.  If, for example I have 5 models in a shoot, those releases are at the bottom of a long list of releases.  I varied which models were in which images a lot so I have to adjust the releases that are selected all the time.  I end up zipping to the very bottom.. finding the releases, then having to scroll to the very top again and click 3 images, then zip to the very bottom and select a few different releases then scroll to the very top again and click a few images...  i guess you get the point :)

3. when I clicked 'submit all' the images were moved to the pending list immediately, and the number of pending images reflected that immediately, but it took a page load to make the images disappear from the page I was currently on (the describe page).. it would be nice if the images disappeared immediately when I clicked the 'submit all' button...

Hi leaf

Very good feedback. we've fixed the first point, so that the images doesn't shift anymore.

I agree with the second one as well, and we've been experimenting with some solutions. So far we've have not gotten it quite right, but I promiss we'll figure out a nice solution to this.

The 3rd point has me a bit baffled, must be a bug somewhere, we'll definitely fix this as well as soon as possible.
