I’m seeing two issues since we downloaded the new update.
In the Media Viewer window, there is no longer a resize preview slider, nor are the photo names still showing. The ability to search for a specific image seems to be missing now too.
We suddenly are getting errors on trying to start new listings in the sports card categories. They were working less than 48 hours ago. And it seems like the errors are for condition specifics that are already selected. Very weird.
1.: There is a search bar if you have the very top “Photos” entry selected. Don’t ask me why Apple only offer it there.
There is no resize slider offered by Apple but if you resize the window it will resize the photos accordingly.
2.: The new eBay fields for Card Condition, Grade and Grader are currently not supported by GarageSale and we have to alter GarageSale to support these new fields.
Implementing this eBay change is complicated and will require some more time.
Until then you should still be able to list the listing in the “old” way. This includes selecting the “Used” condition and adding the grade values in the attributes. (Selecting the “Card Condition” attribute in the attributes panel.)
Pretty strange that these features are available in the Legacy Image Browser but not the new version of the browser. At least they do still exist somehow, for now.
That works, but not ideal since we have 1000 cards to list over the next couple months.
Sometimes with 9.4 when I create a new eBay listing under any category and change attributes, GS will freeze and give me the spinning beachball of death. After 2-3 mins it will unfreeze, if I try something else it will repeat the freezing. Instead, if I quit gs and restart it, everything will work fine.
I just ran into another issue, I was creating a new listing and the LEFT mouse button suddenly did not work for the new listing or anywhere else. I quit GS and restarted it and all was fine
Can you please follow these instructions to gather more diagnostic data?:
Launch GarageSale 9.4 if you don’t have it already running
Open the “Activity Monitor” application (you find it in the Finder in the “Applications” > “Utilities” folder)
Select GarageSale from the list of running applications in Activity Monitor
Now do something you are pretty sure that will cause the beachball/hang to come up for several seconds.
Then quickly switch back to Activity Monitor and from the “View” menu select “Sample Process” (Activity Monitor will probably ask you for an admin password at this point)
Wait while the sample is taken
Save the sample output into a text file and send it to me or post it here.
Could you export one of the listings in question using GarageSale’s export function (File menu > Export Listings) and send it to me or post it here so we can have a closer look at what might cause the beachball?
Can you let us know what kind of Mac you are using? Could it be that it is an older model?
We built this version specially for @elizabetharcher because of the performance issues she is experiencing.
You can download it, but not sure you’ll notice any difference. In theory, this version should be faster, but even the unoptimized code runs so fast on my Mac (0.02s)…
