no image available

[Mary]

Hello David,

1.
how can I take my on picture when there is no image available?

2.
I have many unique Thumbnails and I would not like that the overwrite with a new one. Perhaps is there a way to marked the link in the admin center with:
yes - make an thumbnail
no - make no thumbnail

You can maybe only process the IDs that you need?

In the next version, we will also allow for processing only certain date range.

Hello David,

-- You can maybe only process the IDs that you need?

yes, I can but I have over 8000 Links and once a year I must update the Links. So I want to marked them to make a thumbnail or not.

On my website (www.quilt-patchwork.de) are many free Patchwork Pattern, Sewing Pattern and so on and I have make from this pattern a unique picture. So the User can see the pattern and not the website.
That was many work for me but it was great for the User. This entry I want to marked to make not a new thumbnail.

I'm thinking that in the next version we can use the data range feature to insure you don't update certain screenshots, but I am going to have to think about this one. Using the method you offer, we would almost need to add a new field to the application. I will try to remember to get back with you on this.

David,

I have a couple of ideas for your consideration for addition to the Screen Shot app...

1) Ability to specify a txt file of URL's that can be processed.
2) Ability to overlay images, filters or effects.
3) Ability to specify file name structure of created thumbs.
4) Ability to process local files (images).

and taking Mary's idea further.....

5) Ability to optionally look at another field in the DB, that has 'Yes' or 'No'. That way, users could set up their admin areas (maybe in the link list) with extra check boxes to set in database a flag when the thumb needs updating. I say 'optionally' as you would need to be able to disable if you want to use in other Datbases.
