Hi Auctiva!
I have a few suggestions...
1. When images are uploaded it'd be nice to see the end URL in the upload confirmation box. ie: it's alot simpler to "cut/paste" the URL's for externally created templates than having to goto "Manage" and then find the file and the associated renamed file w/ URL. This should be easily implemented and it'd be a real time-saver for those who want make their own templates.
2. Pertinent again to images... Your "Edit Image" function has no "replace" (ie: upload a new image OVER the old one). This is rather important to experienced sellers. For example, we have put our ship/pay policy, terms of sale/returns etc. in a image file. The reason is obvious... should we need change terms, policies etc. we simply need change the image and the change appears across all listing displays.
Such changes can result in a larger or perhaps smaller width/height image size. Most browsers if a <img> tag does not specify width/height will simply "auto" it. The alternative of course to use CSS and alter the associated CSS for xxx.IMG sizes.
BUT... either way one chooses to do it they really need the ability to upload a new image over the old one.
Again, alternatives being using complete PURE CSS creating an block etc and having to manage all changes (url as well) in the CSS. Rather a pain as compared to just "upload image over old one".
3. Our template has an image gallery done with CSS. Towards that end lets say we have 4 screenshots of a video game. What we'd like do is never need create unique filenames for each image, instead "1.jpg", "2.jpg" etc...
Locally we'd like store the images in their own associated directory... ie: Video Game "Rama" would reside in a directory here called "PC Games"->"P-R"->"Rama"... in that directory we have "ProdImage.jpg" and the screenshots, "1.jpg".... etc.
I have ALOT of stuff and as such a actual tree directory structure at Auctiva would be quite beneficial. I realize that Auctiva does allow for a "Rename" of files, it'd be considerably sweeter if it just kept the filenames uploaded as well as a true hierarchial directory structure.

. These could be used for a wide variety of purposes and be a part of the product entry process in a way that is not confusing to users (ie: them thinking that these extra inputs are eBay inputs).
