Project list view. It would be great to get a simpler project listing. Basically a list of all of your projects in a report format with that ability to expand any of the projects and see a listing of the items in the project (like the + to expand type of thing). Also have the ability to queue projects and sort by the queue or filter by the queue (queue number <> blank). to see what is on deck.

Can we have an option to sort kit results by number of wishlists / stashed? It would be helpful to be able to figure out which kits of a certain subject are more popular than others when researching what to buy and build.

I don't know if this is there and I can't find it or if it's a feature request. Is it possible to upload a CSV file to your stash?

Here's my situation, I do have my own stash that I might get around to documenting one of these days. The idea is daunting though, it's gotten big. But for a while from about 2001 to 2011 I was buying up collections of kits and selling most of them on Ebay. I got to add kits to my own stash for free that way. 🙂

My day job was struggling at the time and it was a way to supplement my income. My day job picked up and I quit selling on Ebay, but I have about 500 kits in my database unsold. I've tried going back to Ebay, but they have made it very expensive for sellers (back 10+ years ago they were about 4%, now they are effectively close to 30%). My database has all the field needed for a Marketplace/Stash listing, if there was a way to upload a batch here, it would make listing many of these kits a lot easier.

I also sold some pretty rare kits in that decade. I still have all the data and even the pictures I took for the auctions. I'd like to update the Scalemates database with anything missing, and that was my intention when I joined here back in 2014, but my day job went from full time to much more than full time for a couple of years, and then various family stuff on top of that and I never got to it. I'm not sure how to do an efficient comparison of the Scalemates db to my own though. Maybe if there is an upload a stash feature I could try it with sold items and see which ones can't be found?

My database has 8600 items in it. Mostly kits but also some decals, modeling books, and aftermarket. There are duplicates though.

I do have hopes of building some of my stash some day. I think this year I'll be finishing some of the kits my father left me that are partially built. Most of those sat unfinished for 40 years.

Hi, I've just gone in and manually marked as private all of my wall posts that I can see, however when I look at my wall when not logged in, I can still see some posts. These posts visible publicly are not included in my view of my wall when I'm logged in. Is there a way I can access these posts to mark them as private (or otherwise prevent them showing publicly)?

Hello,
would sorting a wishlist by vendor be a option for you to consider?
Maybe not valid for most users but the ones with a substantial wish list could benefit from this possible feature. I usually try to order the most bang for my buck, hence my question.

I noticed on several occasions that when opening or working within my stash it displays someone else's stash. I have not tried altering (for the obvious reason), usually after a reload of the page it displays the correct stash. I assume the Scalemates ID is unique so why does this happen?

It would be great if a kit's data could optionally include its dimensions when built. Some manufacturers, at least, provide this. Knowing how big the model will be, so being able to tell if it will fit in the display case or will I need a stand alone solution, would help me decide whether to buy a particular kit.

I think for some areas in the stash, the possible information in the "State" area doesn't always make sense. For example, for materials such as static grass, an indication of the state and fill level would make more sense than the state of the decals or missing parts.

Since a few days I have the problem that when editing the topic field the suggestions are not always displayed if you have typed a few letters.

Hi, was wondering if it's possible to display the album entries in reverse order when you select the "Advanced options" button under the "manage" images. This would allow you to quickly see your latest images at the top so you can rotate them easily etcetera, especially when you have more than 5 images saving scrolling though your previous images which no longer require manipulation.
I appreciate this sounds straightforward but could be tricky to implement, something to ponder.
Thanks for the great site.

I am considering replacing images in my older albums with new ones in higher resolution (my understanding is that 2160 pixels wide is now recommended and the aspect ratio to avoid top or side gray bars is 3:2).

To my understanding, uploading a new image to an album causes the associated album to move to the top of the newsfeed (past commenters are not notified). I am wondering if there is a way to prevent it from moving up in the newsfeed?

Also, when new older image is replaced with one in better resolution, could the original posted date be retained? This could be accomplished by a toggle in the album “Manage” window user could select (retain original posted date: Y or N).

Please check it this problem with timelines- more Timelines appears at the same time and unnecessary.
This problem overcrowding a view on timeline.
Example:

Fw190 F-8 (Airfix 02063-7, 1:72)

Please look at video: streamable.com/8ntzsq Video will expire in two days.

I separate this one timeline
Focke-Wulf Fw 190D (Airfix 01064-7, 1:72)
with next trick: for the first kit I set up "Origin" different from "Initial Release-new tool", and than back to "Initial release-new tool". This helped in many cases, although sometimes the condition again back on too many timelines (previous state).

But this trick with a temporary change of "origin", does not work for Fw190 F-8 (Airfix 02063-7, 1:72)

Where is the problem, and is it possible to fix.

Hello,
would it be possible to set up an additional field for costs for non-model-specific items in projects? Many people use e.g. picture frames or plywood or styrofoam sheets from the hardware store when building dioramas. I have also seen mirrors specially adapted to bases by glaziers. Such (individual) pieces tend not to be included in the database, but can sometimes have a major impact on the price of a project (especially if craftsmen's costs are included, such as for the mirrors mentioned above). These costs could be recorded relatively easily this way.
Regards
Nicolas

I am currently in private conversation with another Scalemate regarding ship naming conventions

My understanding (for ships) is based on the following:

Subject: Exact typename & version (NO tailcodes, noseart,...) | For ships+Sci-Fi= Vessel name (including code!)

Therefore in the subject field I would type:

MV Richmond (R-1)

and thus, for ships, because we already have the code in the subject, we do not need to use the Code/Registration number field

If my interpretation is correct could we add a note to the Code/Registration No field.

i.e. Code/Registration No (not used for ships)

If my interpretations are incorrect how would "MV Richmond (R-1) a "Richmond-class Cargo ship" be entered?

When uploading multiple photos to album, photos will get rearranged depending on what gets "processed" first. (I mean period during uploading and then progress circle displaying.) I'm guessing files with lower size and/or detail gets processed first and then get in front of the album. If I select multiple files to upload, I can see it is in correct order in the upload queue displayed below "Select Images" button but when I get into "manage" screen or look at the actual album it is rearranged.

(FIY if you're testing this feature with Windows machine, if you click the last file first and then shift click the first file in the "select images" dialog you can get the files into upload queue in the order you see in the explorer popup. I found that if you do ctrl+a or select first image first then order is somewhat random. It happens on all places so it is a bug or quirk of windows explorer.)

If you're uploading series of photos about some build process it is a hassle, especially because of small preview and amount of time takes to rearrange pictures on the "manage" screen.

I wish that there was a way to sort the files uploaded by filename or at least retain the order the upload queue has in the manage screen.
