How do I change the order of my images??

Hi - It isn't necessary to upload your pics in any particular order. When you click on "select an image", a pop-up box appears with your uploaded images. Simply click on the thumbnails in the order you wish for them to appear and a number will appear over that pic to indicate its position in your listing.

Hi ninth,
I think (s)he means the listing is already in progress and images are being uploaded for the first time...?
terrif19710, I've done this myself, and I don't think they can be re-arranged without removing and starting over. If there's a way, I would love to know
For that matter: even if they are already loaded into Auctiva's website, let's say I pick out pics 1,2,3, and 4. Then I change my mind about the order--Is there a way to change what I've already done without deleting all of them & starting over? I guess I'm asking the same question now
It IS a pain to remove all of them & start over

Hi 8880 - If you already have the pics loaded into the listing and then change your mind, I really don't see the problem. The process of clicking "remove" and then reloading the pics into the listing in the new order, shouldn't take more than a few seconds, unless you're loading a full 24 pics. Or am I still not getting this? I'm assuming of course that the pics have been uploaded to Auctiva. On the other hand, externally hosted images WOULD be a hassle, since you would have to re-paste each URL one at a time. Yikes, no thanks.

Maybe in a spare moment, engineering can give us a drag and drop arrangement whereby we can re-arrange the order with just a little mouse action, kind of like the old shell game. "ok folks, step right up!"

Hi ninth,
Yes, you are getting this...I was talking about pics already uploaded to Auctiva. I guess I'm just getting SO incredibly lazy....
Thanks!

I agree there needs to be a simpler way.
Here is what I am doing

Assuming I am working on the listing and the photos are in the wrong order say D E F A B C
With photo D as #1 and C as #6

I go to the select image area. D has a #1 on it
I click it - now it shows no number, then click it again and it will be 6

Now E has a #1 on it
I click it - now it shows no number, then click it again and it will be 6 (D is now 5)

Now F has a #1 on it
I click it - now it shows no number, then click it again and it will be 6 (D is now 4, E is now 5)

Then I exit and all the photos are in the order I wanted A B C D E F

The photos selected for Header and gallery are still the correct photos

bbqkaren,
That's exactly what I was talking about thanks for the tip!

If this was said, sorry. When you have the thumbnails below the description, and you want to rearrange - click any thumbnail to open the picture window.

At the top left is a View with an arrow that says Thumbnails.

Change that to List and it gives you a filmstrip with arrows to move them left or right. Easy as pie... actually easier. lol

Hi SolelySucculent,
That answer is worth a million bucks (check's in the mail )
I never even noticed that lil' dropdown box!

Hi Member. Cool! So happy I can do something to help. I'm watchin' for that check. lol

That tip works well for when you need to change recently uploaded photos and when you have less than a thousand images uploadded but when I am changing photos from a month ago, I may have to sort through a few thousand images to find those to rearrange them.... Any possibility to add a feature to change order once photos are selected without having to go back into the select image section?

Hi Paul. You don't have to sort through anything.

When you pull up the image selection box, just change option in upper left from thumbnails to "list" and it takes you directly to only the images you have in that listing. You can reorder them there by clicking the arrows below the pics.

I just now tried it on an old listing that still has pics. Works great.

Thanks Shirly but I get an error that I have over a thousand images and it cannot disply a list because of the thousand images...

so I am back at square one?

Tiques,
I get that same message...just scroll down a bit and you will see the thumbs for that particular auction only. Sometimes it takes a second or 2 to appear. It's really a handy way to change the order of pics.

(Thanks again Shirley, but I hope you're not holding your breath on that check )
