MikeAinOz — Sun, 16 Jan 2011 02:31:42 +0000

I’ve just become aware of an issue with editing captions with the storeCSVeditor, it is not saving changes to captions. I hope this is a minor bug, but for the time being please be aware of this issue.

MikeAinOz — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 22:57:01 +0000

This new version of the store CSV editor offers significant performance enhancements and is offered free of licensing requirements. There are no functional changes to the product apart from the way that custom columns are handled, which is part of the performance enhancement.

This product is now offered as freeware, there will be limited free support and there will still be future product releases.

Request For Submissions Store CSV Editor Version 1.1

MikeAinOz — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 21:49:49 +0000

I’m seeking suggestions for the new version of the Store CSV Editor, due out in February 2010.

This is my current list

Providing better update facilities including a ‘bulk’ update for some items such as prices and captions.
I also currently insert new rows at the end, so I’m thinking of an ‘insert in place’ feature.
I’m also thinking of a grid viewer so that the user can browse and edit.
The interface is changing slightly as I backport some features from a new database based product that I’m working on. This will give me the ability to search on any field.
I’m also thinking of an option for images to use the value of an image column rather than the Id

That’s about it, email me at mike@mikeallen.com.au or use the contact form on the web site, whichever is more appropriate for you. All suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

storeCSVeditor New Feature Release Build 1.0.4.1

MikeAinOz — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 04:14:53 +0000

The is a new release of the Store CSV Editor available at http://www.mikeallen.com.au/downloads.html. There is a new feature, the ‘clone’ function that takes the current item and creates a new item with the product code as the original code with “+1″ appended to the code. The editor is positioned to the cloned item after a clone operation.

There is also a upgraded HTML editor which has an integrated ‘view HTML’ feature, so the separate tab for viewing HTML has now been removed and is replaced by this feature. The ‘view HTML’ feature includes the HTML Header in the view, even though this is not saved to the file, this ‘feature’ will be fixed in a future release.

If you already have the editor installed, you will need to remove the previous version using the control panel and re-install. Licensing information is preserved during this process.

This will be the last release for 2009,there will be another feature release early next year, if you have a great idea that you’d like to see in the next release send me an email at mike@mikeallen.com.au and I’d be pleased to consider it.

storeCSVeditor Maintenance Release Build 1.0.3.1

MikeAinOz — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 04:21:58 +0000

A Maintenance release of the storeCSVeditor is available at http://www.mikeallen.com.au/downloads.html this is Build 1.0.3.1. This update is not mission critical but does fix some outstanding issues:

The image is now loaded using the product ‘id’, not the ‘code’, this is of relevance to users who have a different (case insensitive) values in these fields.
The reminder to save data message will only appear once, this was appearing several times on certain code paths.
The ‘id’ is now cleared when the form is cleared

The previous version will need to be removed before the new version is installed. The license state will be preserved between removal and reinstall.
