When you go to upload images now, you’ll see two links. The preferred way to upload is using the new tool, but the old link is still available in case the new one doesn’t work for you. I’d like everyone to start using the new tool — it should be faster and it’s also a much lighter load on the server. Please post comments and questions to this thread

I’d like to phase out the old uploading method in the next few months. When you first click the new link, you’ll get a pop-up window asking if you trust content from RadInks.com. That’s the company I purchased this code from. Please click “Always” (or “Yes”, but if you click “Yes” the pop-up window will appear next time you access the page). This tool requires the latest version of Java, which should already be installed on your browser. If not, it will prompt you to download the latest version.
After we get the bugs worked out for HC Standard users, I’ll migrate this to HC Multi and gallery uploading as well.
Finally — I have been pondering how to manage all the images that are uploaded to HC, and I think I’m going to go back to the 3-month policy. I.e., uploaded images will be purged after three months. If you have images for ongoing items (like patterns, etc.), I suggest you upload them to your gallery, then use the paths from the gallery in your product listing. I can help you with this if you don’t know what I mean. That way, your images won’t be deleted since gallery images will stay around as long as you keep your store active.
