THIS REQUEST IS SPECIFICALLY CONCERNING SELF-MADE PDF PRINTS FROM OUR LIBRARY (WITH PRINTEDIT ETC), SO THAT WE DON'T LOSE THE OVERVIEW OF OUR PRODUCTS, OFFLINE.
BECAUSE THE AVAILABLE CSV FROM THE PAGE "ORDERS", WHICH WOULD ALSO BE GREAT, IS USELESS NOW FOR THIS PURPOSE BECAUSE IT DOESN'T HAVE PICTURES. I NEED THUMBNAILS.
as per now, we can sort our products by date of purchase, which is great - i might remember stuff rather about when i bought them, or together with what, than the exact name - and obviously offline on a pdf i can hardly press "search", and mostly i wouldn't even remember the name, just what it looks like.
the problem is that our items can only be sorted by date FROM THE NEWEST. which means that what does not change any more, the oldest, are always on the page that changes most, THE LAST. so logically i'd have to reprint ALL the pages from the beginning every single time i buy a product, otherwise the pages aren't correct. but i we could sort also from the oldest (first), every new product(s) would be at the end, so the last page(s) onlyy change, i can ADD them to the rest that doesn't change, i only have to print the last page(s), not all of them again.
WHY IS THIS SO IMPORTANT TO ME? WELL, WHILE WRITING REVIEWS, I REALIZED THAT I HAVE FORGOTTEN ABOUT A HUGE LOT OF MY PRODUCTS. I WORK ON DAZ STUDIO, AND THE EASIEST IS TO USE THE SMART PANEL - WHICH MEANS DAZ PRODUCTS ONLY. HAVING TO SEARCH FOR AGES IN THE CONTENT PANEL IS 1) ANNOYING AF, AND 2) I HAVE TO KNOW A NAME.
THE RESULT BEING I HAVE NOT USED ONCE A LOT OF MY RENDO ASSETS!
BUT HAVING A PRINTOUT OF ALL MY STUFF, WHEN I F.EX. SEARCH FOR HAIR, OR ANYTHING, WOULD FINALLY MAKE IT POSSIBLE THAT I DON'T LOSE THE OVERVIEW OF PRODUCTS I BOUGHT FOR MONEY...
AND THIS IS ALREADY KINDA POSSIBLE NOW WITH PRINTEDITING MY PRODUCTS, BUT IT'S A PITA WITH THE SORTING ORDER...
thank you for considering that! :)
and btw, i wasn't screaming with all caps on, it's just to show the emphasis on what/why ^^
IN THE END, MERITOCRACY HAS NOT ONLY PERMEATED OUR DAILY LIVES AND WORK, BUT ALSO OUR HEARTS, OUR MINDS AND OUR PERCEPTION OF ART...
