a tool to help designers - missing image locator

[gabrielcrowe]

{note, suggestions have been added and this post was updated accordingly}

we all know how annoying it is when Actinic pops various errors about images.

http://actinic.pastebin.com/f79daaf60

here is a tool to scan a catalog database, for:

a) products without images
b) products with broken image paths
c) products with spaces
d) ability to exclude duplicates

its a vbscript.

take the contents of the pastebin, paste it in a text file and ensure that the file extension is 'vbs'.

like 'ImageScan.vbs'

suggestions for improvement?

neat!
It just located a(n unhidden) product I'd forgotten to add an image too!
the majority of imageless ones were hidden, associated products...but this one wasn't!
w00t (LOL)

It could perhaps prompt for filename and location of the error report, if that's possible?
Maybe an option 'exclude hidden products'?

Just a few thoughts anyway...nice one!

Nice. Very helpful Gabe.

Could it check for image filenames with spaces in? Actinic doesn't report these until you are uploading....

[gabrielcrowe]

i can check and correct, if you like?

that was a feature removed for now, in testing.
