Since I have a lot of items in my shop I often struggle with some problems on the user interface:
1) Material handling is so time consuming.
At least a button which adds all material as restriction would help. Deleting the items is much faster.
2) Item status
I would prefer an item status which can be handled by the [shop owner. For example a list of attributes which can be given to the item and is also visible in the gallery.
For example: Preview - Tested - Changed - Top Seller ....
Since that is shop specific the attribute list has to be handled by the shop owner. For the gallery small icons which show these stati would be nice.
3) Gallery picture default view
Changing the view direction of the gallery picture.
Currently you get a default view. But often this view is not very accurate. Maybe there could be a button in 3d view which generates a new default picture out from the current view angles.
4) 3d file names.
It would help me a lot when I can see which 3d file name has been uploaded the last time. Currently I see the version and the date which helps a lot.
5) Shop owners pricing advantages
Shop owners do a lot of work, whcih results in earnings for shapeways. For this there should be a price reduction for us. At least the first order of a piece (which is often a test to make it public) should be reduced.
Or you offer price reduction tickets for shop owners.
6) List view
A list view for all items where changes can be easily done would help a lot. Iteration through all the items needs so much time.
I'm still not done with the material updates.
