Wow. so many changes in GUI! What is the item beside the Start Button (Triangle with exclamation point)? I can highlight a single image and the feedback is $0.40 (currency–maybe listing fee?). If I highlight 4 images, it says “8”? What could this mean?

That field shows either the current error count for the selected listings, or there are no errors the listing fees as computed by eBay. However, there’s a know bug where this field does not update the error count as you fix them in the selected listing.

CRASHING BUG Does not seem to gracefully handle large selections. For instance, selecting about 1000 listings (in order to move them to a folder, for instance) may result in spinning beachball from which the app never recovers. Sometimes it works. Selecting large numbers of listings just to view them also exhibits this behavior. In any case, long delays after selecting many items.

When GarageSale is hanging, can you recored a “spin dump”. This post contains instructions on how get one:

The size of the database does affect the performance of the application, but in theory this should be hardly noticeable. Since all database lookups are done through pre-computed indexes, every tenfold increase in database size should only make lookups about 30% slower. So deleting a few old listing won’t make a huge difference. However, if you have a lot of incoming orders, inserting those into the database might be an issue. Therefore it would be interesting to know why you experiencing those…

Have we lost the ability to look at listings as just a single images? This was a very elegant way to look at listings.

Could you post a screenshot from GarageSale 6 that shows the feature you are talking about?

@lancemoody

App appears to select a design without being asked to. I see that this can be overridden but is odd default behavior.

Is this happening for listings created via the “New Listing command”? Or listings you imported from GarageSale 6?

@lancemoody

Certainly seems that STATUS ought to be clickable as a header sorting item. It isn’t.

I’ll add this to our to do list.
