Import errors....please be a bit more descriptive!

[TraceyHand]

I don't use product imports very often but, when I do, I find myself getting more and more frustrated with the lack of information given by the import error reports!

Instead of saying

Line 68: An invalid Section could not be imported. All child items will be skipped as well.
Line 68: The selected image file does not exist.

could you not actually TELL me which 'selected image file' name is causing the problem as well?!

Likewise in the case of

Line 16: The specified file name conflicts with another file name!

It'd be a million times more helpful to tell me what the file name actually IS so I can track it down more easily.

Thanks for listening

Thanks for posting your frustrations Tracey - I have passed them onto the development team.

also, try this:

- instead of not importing the image, and dropping the entire sub section. simply import the section without an image?

- list the images and their full paths. missing or otherwise.

- how about an interactive 'find your lost image' popup?


This has wound me up today. I had to write some script to parse the lost images MYSELF.

never clever.
