We have images for almost all of our items and we need to look at them all the time. Just a few changes would make the item image on the Additional tab of Item Inquiry much more useful:

- Give us a button or some other way to copy the image. Our salespeople frequently look up these images and then want to email them to a customer, but there is no easy way to do that.

- Auto-size the viewing window to the size of the image when it opens, or enable auto-sizing by clicking a button or maybe double-clicking in the lower right-hand corner. Virtually every image window has to be resized by the user unless it is quite small. It does seem to auto-size when it is smaller than maybe 300x300 pixels, so maybe you could get the same effect by just increasing the initial size of the window, say to 600x600?

- Make the image window close by hitting ESC. The "X" to close the window is annoyingly small.

- Add a thumbnail, if there is room on the panel. Even a tiny one would be helpful. Clicking it would pop-up the full-size image window.

Comments

  • These would be great "usability" improvements for Item Image Displays.

  • Well thought out business reasons that make this feature more usable to many clients

  • What a way to add value and usability without a LOT of coding time. I hope this makes it to the next 100c release. These are the type of enhancements that make everyday use of Sage 100 beneficial to all.

  • Yes, very much agree.

  • It would also be nice to allow users to set the default program to open the image, as well as allow users to set the size of the program window that opens the image.

  • I think this definitely needs to be enhanced to either allow bigger images or automatically resize the images to fit into the window. We generally only have access to larger images for the web now, and they are usually much larger due to requirements for eCommerce. I don't want our accounting using Photoshop to resize them just for Sage. It would also be good to use a link to a website instead - I don't particularly like having staff going into the file structure of the MAS90 directory.

  • In Sage 100 2018 PU3, an enhancement to use Windows Photo Viewer for displaying images.
