Just a few things that I’ve noticed that could be improved after using GarageSale for a few years, but most actively in the past year. Some of these are from release version, I’m currently using beta 3 and they may have been fixed already.
-
I prefer MarkDown for editing descriptions and sometimes the dropdown will switch on it’s own from “using MarkDown” to “Don’t Convert” or “Using styled text” - sometimes when I’m applying a different design to an existing (and active) listing.
-
Sometimes when I switch back to “using MarkDown”, there’s still styling in the markdown view. Maybe this has been fixed in betas.
-
Text Snippets don’t seem to work for MarkDown. I haven’t checked if this has changed in the betas, and I could see how both styled/HTML/markdown in snippets would be hard to maintain.
-
Internal image editor is really, really nice to have but could be improved by defaulting to “Zoom to window size” instead of 25%. Right now, only step sizes of 25%/50%/75%… means either too small or too large.
-
A nice power-user feature would be a way to open a text-only view of a listing, with all attributes displayed in structured form like XML or JSON so one could quickly copy/paste whole sets of attributes between listings, or select two and display a diff between them. I know it’s sort of do-able via AppleScript but there doesn’t seem to be a straightforward way to produce XML or JSON.
