Thanks Susan. I wouldn’t go so far as clever, but I won’t argue with such a nice compliment either. ;)

Joking aside though: this is one of the things that I’m thinking about right now. At the moment the HTML export is very “bare bones”. The idea is that you’d take the code and paste it (perhaps with some changes) into your own site’s code. However, I have been toying with the idea of a “site in a box” type export option where the whole thing is exported and then all you need do is upload it to your own site.

The big problem with that is either a) everyone who uses it ends up with sites that look exactly the same (modulo the actual images, of course) or b) I need to come up with a easy yet handy way of letting people customise the exported output.

I’ll probably have a play with the idea at some point.

Thanks for the feedback Julie.

When you say “untitled” do you really just mean “hidden”? It’s not designed to ignore art without a title (which, correct me if I’m wrong, would have a title of “Untitled”?)

Interesting. I find that a little confusing.

All I’m doing is downloading each of your public art pages and pulling the details out of the underlying HTML. If it’s visible to the public it should be in the list. If it isn’t visible to the public it shouldn’t be in the list.

As a test I just marked one of my works as hidden and then used RBArtMan to download the list of works. Sure enough, the hidden work didn’t appear in the list.

it would be so useful if that column could generate the preview code

Oh, yes, that’s a good idea. Or, even better, how about a command that copies the preview code to your clipboard, ready to be pasted elsewhere?

Just so you know Julie, there’s a new version available which adds the sort of thing you were after.

You might also want to check the About dialog too (under the Help menu).

Consider it added to the TODO list (which probably means I’ll add it tomorrow).

Sorry to press the issue Julie, but could I trouble you for some more information about this business of you apparently seeing your hidden works? Could you try the test I mention above and let me know what happens? (the important point being that after the chance you download your art list again — it’s vital that you download again after you’ve made any changes on RedBubble itself).

Groups is possible, as is things like tags, etc. However, to do that it would take quite a lot more hits on the RedBubble server. Whereas downloading the art list only takes as many hits as you have pages of art (plus 1 to get the number of pages) things like groups would take as many hits as you have works.

So, it’s possible. I just wonder if it’s advisable. I’ll have a think about it (it would be handy, that’s for sure).

As for clothing: yeah, I should probably think about that at some point. It’s not like there’s any real difference, I just got caught up with the art side.

Just to keep you updated Shelly: there’s a new version on the way (possibly tomorrow) that now has a button that takes you directly to the edit page of a work in the list. So now editing a work is a one-click step instead of a two-click step and using the “Edit a work” Greasemonkey hack.

Shelley, there’s a new version available which includes a change that makes getting to your edit page for a work a one-click action.

Hope this helps.

Now that’s a bloody good point. Thanks for reminding me about that.

Please, feel free to journal it if you want. It’s offered freely to anyone who might have a use for it so I’d encourage letting others know about it.

As for “product previews” in addition to the current image views: yes, that should be possible (I’m not sure why I didn’t think about that anyway) and I’ll see about adding that pretty soon.

Julie, there’s now a new version which includes an updated work-promotion dialog that lets you generate promotion codes for simple images or any of the product previews.

Hopefully this is the sort of thing you were looking for.

Thanks for the update Shelley.

It’s always a relief to hear that it works for someone else. ;)

Thanks. Glad you like it.

That’s excellent Anne.

I think you’re probably the first person to use the HTML export on a website. Looks good.

Currently, yeah, one by one, by hand.

Interesting idea mind, I hadn’t thought about the idea of exporting as HTML but using product images. I’ll give that some thought… Shouldn’t be that hard to make happen, just need the time to do some coding.

Sorry, no, Windows only, at least for the moment.
