Continuing the discussion from Importing photos from URL & existing Ebay listing photos :
Hi,
Wow, I’m so impressed with Garagesale! I just bought it and love it! I have two questions:
I imported all the listings from Ebay, but pics did not come with them. I just get the little boxes with a package and price. When I click on each listing individually, I can see the photos. This isn’t a big deal, but it would be nice to see them. Also, can I filter this by live listings?
I am having problems with my images showing up when creating a new template. I am importing from a URL on my ftp server. When I use the assistant and perform your test, the little garage appears by itself in the browser with a check mark. I know I am using the correct FTP credentials. Any ideas why I can’t get my images to show up? (they’re .jpgs and I’ve chosen 800x600 as the size).
Also, when using “Image → Add Image URL” from my own ftp server, can I see and pick which of my FTP server images I want GS to use or do I have to remember their names? In other words, when I chose “Add image URL”, it doesn’t give me a choice to select the image I want to use…
Thanks. Great work. I love this interface and your wiki documentation is great too. I’m so excited about having templates too!

I think it may be better to download the photos to your computer, drag them into your template, then set GarageSale to upload them to your ftp server; this way each template has all of the photos embedded in it AND it is uploading to your ftp site. Embedding a link may show when you look at it in PREVIEW mode, but working in EDITOR mode with the photos embedded is much faster and easier.

Hey Pete,
Was I was doing things backwards by putting the images on my FTP server first instead of uploading onto my FTP server? I did what you suggested and I’m a happy camper. Thanks
