| Upload a Cover upgrade needed |
| << < (3/4) > >> |
| Michael:
I was reading a post on how they are dealt with after uploading, and was quite surprised that everything was done manually, even i could right a small app to list all uploaded items, automatically create preview images, act, where it would just need an admin or someone to click "Accept" or "Reject", I would of thought something like that would have been a better way to deal with them, it would allow faster checking, and for much of the acceptance process to be automated. I could also write a little app to do uploads of an expire directory in an hour or so, but dont know if something like this would be acceptable, (People may misuse it), but i could make it and post it here if anyone wants? |

Nice thought but when publishing covers on our site the most time is used to check and maintain quality. This will always be needlework! The publishing process itself is pretty easy and straight forward for us admins. |

But what the admins check is not on the physical "Upload A Cover" page. The "Upload A Cover" page is very primitive and takes forever to upload things on. I have ~100 things scanned, but I hate the "Upload A Cover" page and have hesitated since I first posted this thread. Takes longer to upload them instead of scanning at 1,000 DPI. Really really sad. To scan - 1 - Place manual / cover in scanner 2 - Select custom settings 3 - Scan as "_______Front.jpg / _________Back.jpg . _________Inlay.jpg" 4 - When done, replace manual / cover in scanner 5 - Repeat 3 and 4 til done. To Upload - 1 - Find the cover you wish to upload 2 - Type in your Name (or the name where the scan originated) 3 - Select Region type for game 4 - Select Platform type for game 5 - Indicate if it is a raw or not 6 - Indicate if it is a custom or retail cover 7 - Upload 8 - When done, repeat 1-7 as nothing is auto-filled in the form. It's a waste of time and I have more important things to be doing than wait. I have a crap load of covers that I "wish" to upload, and I'm sure Akrate69 would agree (Holy Hell have you seen how many covers he has uploaded!!!!?!!!) that if there was a more "automated" "Upload A Cover" page for uploaders : NOT ADMINISTRATIVE SIDE, then more of us would contribute more. Facebook has an automatic file uploader which allows ~60 pictures to be added. I'm asking for more like ~5 max or so. 5 Pictures at 20 MB (max upload size) would take me 30 minutes to upload at home or 10 minutes at school. I would be able to pump out soooooo many covers at school if it was more automated |

ShoothimNow, after I upload a scan, I click "Back" and all my info from the last scan is there except for the "Cover" selection. It saves a lot of time. |
