Okay. There are several issues with this new system, specifically with the filters.
One: No notification. Again. I am on the shop secrets newsletter, yet once again, I only discovered this major change when I came to release some models today.
Two: Probably most importantly, the CSV wizard does NOT include any of the new filters. I carefully set three of my models to the new filters, so I could copy/paste in XL... And the wizard has not been updated. It has "Category," "subcategory" and "custom category" but nothing else, and the filters just set for those three models doesn't show up. This should have been in place to be released at the same time as the changes.(Fortunately, as my models all fall into "sci-fi" and "vehicles", so there are no issues there, and I have caught the only cople that were not in the right category).
As it stands, there is simply no way I can afford to spend the time to go through every single one of the 366 model pages in my store to add the filters.
Three: The Filters are somewhat lacking, to put it mildly. No 1:10000th scale on scifi, the Era section on the vehicles could really use "Cold War" and "Moderns" in addition to the year categories (as we have "WW1" and "WW2") and the Countries section having only five entries on it is... baffling. No Russia? No USSR? No arabic? Isreal? "NATO" or "Soviet" one would have thought would be at least the bare minimum. (If you were not sure what to allow, perhaps allow the users to define their own categories - or at least submit a request.)
Again, this could have been addressed ahead of time if the shop owners like myself had actually gotten some notification.
I don't come regularly checking on the forums for announcements; your newsletter system is either inadquate (if no announcements was sent out to shop owners) or buggy (if one was an it hasn't reached everyone that has that box ticked).
