WEBSITE SUGGESTION - Thumbnail View of My Product Library

  • I just wanted to suggest a possible upgrade to the Product Library. Right now it has a list view, which provides a text list of 40 items.
  • The text list is okay, but it doesn't always remind me of what the product is -- I've been buying stuff since 2001 (Michael 1), so please forgive me if my memory gets foggy on older items.
  • I think it would be useful to have the option to view them as thumbnails (using the same format currently used by the Product Search feature that returns a grid with six thumbnails per row).
  • I don't think the thumbnails should be the default view (the lean & mean current text view is great in most instances), but the thumbnail view would be a very cool addition.

Again, this is just something to think about -- thanks for all the hard work on keeping the site running so smoothly.

    What I've always thought they should do, since the model and coding clearly already partially exists, is to have the Product Library interface duplicate the look and features of the current WIshlist: thumbnail image and the ability to add your own comments as notes.  A link to the actual product documentation would be nice as well, as the descriptions in the stores often fail to fully explain what a product is or all the items that come with it, while the images can be somewhat misleading.  Being able to type TEXTURES ONLY or NO SHOES would alleviate a lot of those problems.

    That would be nice, especially the notes option. 

    I would still like the thumbnail view I described. Sometimes I'd like to see all of my stuff laid out at once, rather than scrolling through the list.

    What I really want is an easy way to catalog what I have, and have the ability to categorize it by figure (I want to see everything I have that will work with M3, or M4, or David). Right now I have a LOT of content and I'm not able to find it all. It's really been affecting my work,

    Take a look at Taozen's catalog program.  It ties into your account and sets up a browsable catalog.  I've only toyed with a little, to automate getting the promo images for all of my stuff (I use my own method of cataloging involving Adobe Bridge).  But it's pretty good and he's on the forum so you can ask questions..

    Those look promising. Thanks for the link.
