Hey there,
One of my pet peeves with the Shapeways product creation is that I can't really choose the order my images appear in. Sometimes they appear in the order uploaded; sometimes they seem to order themselves randomly. I'd love a click-and-drag interface to customize what order the images appear in, much like Etsy. Again like Etsy, it would be great to have the ability to customize the zoom factor of image thumbnails (ie the thumbnail appears zoomed in on a particular point, and clicking it takes you to the image, which is full size).

Yes please on ability to reorder images, it's very annoying when images come up misordered and I have to delete all and upload again. This actively discourages me from adding images to objects: adding even one means a several-minute commitment.
This matters -- it will never happen that I don't care what order they're in.

To follow up: I brought this up during yesterday's Product meeting and was informed that we just started a project to re-work how we use images on Shapeways.com. Some of your wishes are already on the drawing board, others (like the zooming) weren't yet. I forwarded this thread to the team and they were happy with the input. So if you have more wishes - post them here!

Concerning images there are some further topics remarkable:
- viewing different angles
(currently I reuse the background image for the 3d rotation as additional image since it shows the item from different sides in one picture)
- using hyperlinks

1. Ability to change the angle that shapeways has rendered the part. Often they are backwards or upside-down and they are never shown at the most flattering angle.
2. Ability to remove the default shapeways rendering entirely. If we can't adjust it, at-least let us delete it so that we can use better pictures to illustrate the product.
3. Page view counter. It would be great to see how often our items are being viewed, wishlisted, etc. That would help designers see which ideas have better potential to help guide future design efforts.
4. Give the option to apply markup as either $ or %. Give the option to apply it to all materials in one shot, so that you don't have to enter a markup 20x.
cheers,
c
