Would it be possible to add a required paint list to the kit listings, one that could be copied to send to a supplier. Thanks

I hope I'm posting this in the right place.
I'm trying to add a new Games Workshop figure (52-62) and when I'm trying to upload the cover image, which is a 123KB jpeg file it gives this error message: Couldn't copy the file!

This is a just some shower thoughts (well actually I'm in the bathroom sitting on the throne) but maybe we could have some sort of barcode scanner? If you upload picture while accessing scalemates (maybe using your phone or other devices with camera) it can scan the barcode and auto recognize the kit or something like that.

Hello, we can specify a storage location for stash items (i.e. room, shelf, box). Would it be possible to look up a particular storage location to see all the items in it? maybe in the right-hand menu? thanks.

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but can a dark mode be made possible.

Anthony Green » Feature requests
Tim, I know this was one that we discussed a few years back but would be great if you can take another look at adding an option to scan bar codes. I was in a store the other day with lots of second hand kits and I wanted to look up a kit to see if I already had it in the stash or the wish list. The option to scan the code or a quick stash check would be helpful. Thanks

Not sure whether this has been mentioned before, and I am certainly not sure of the technical requirements, but in a Facebook group a request came up to include a Bar Code Reader for faster upload of one's stash.

Is this possible?

It seems that most of the buyers I hear from (that are not very familiar with the site) do not see the 'State' information concerning kits for sale. Is there a simple way to make this condition (better term) information more visible ?

I would like to bring my "model-shops" up to date. When I click the list of all shops under "Activities", I get a blank page. I use Vivaldi and not an Ad Blocker. What can I do ?

Eddie Mann » Feature requests
Hi,
When viewing a single kit there are "Related products" listed, eg:
Cougar 6x6 MRAP Vehicle (Meng Model SS-005, 1:35)
When you do the same with a multi-topic kit there are no "Related products" listed, eg:
Pantsir S-1 (Zvezda 3698, 1:35)
Is this fixable?

A notification system for the marketplace section seems like a useful addition, especially for kits offered for sale by other mates. It could be useful to receive a notification when a rare or hard to find kit you're after comes up for sale.

Hi, Tim.

I don't know if this has been proposed/requested before, but would it be possible to implement a feature that would send you a notification if someone on the site puts something that is on your wishlist up for trading?
This could possibly be a feature that individual users could choose to enable or not (like the other notification settings in the preferences).

I know I can see which members of scalemates are selling if I go into the wishlist and look at the items, but it would be nice to get a notification if someone puts an item up for sale sometime after I have put it on my wishlist. Especially if no one has it up for sale at the time the item was put on the wishlist.

David » Feature requests
Would there be any way of 'subscribing' to a kit/aftermarket/whatever that you have on your wishlist so that if someone flags one as 'for sale' you get a message?

Spanjaard » Feature requests
we have many filters for stores or for items sold by users. but it would be nice to be able to filter for those items that are already in your wishlist

For some of my biplane projects the only references are the "Windsock International" magazines. Could you please make it possible to link a specific issue to a project, like it is possible today with books? Today the line has only State|Storage, but no Projects.
That would be great! Thanks.

The "Swap" label is written as "sw" for trade items

Bren Sheehan » Feature requests
Is there an option to get notified if an item on my wishlist becomes available in the marketplace?

Boris B » Feature requests
Another feature that would make the Trade section more useful/active : would it be possible to get a notification when an item on our wish list becomes available, from a shop maybe, but even more so from another person on SM ?
People use the wish list more or less loosely, so maybe this could be an option in the notification settings, in case someone does not want to receive an automated message. Or maybe it could be a box to tick when adding an item to the wish list. It could say "Notify me when this item becomes available."

Robin (WhiteGlint) » Feature requests
Sorry, I hope it is right to post this here.
Lately I get notifications that mates answered my PM (I don't know which one that should be)

But when I click on the notification to see the related post it says that I do not have the required permission to see it or that it no longer exists.

I'd like to propose a sort of "backlog" view for projects.
It would be cool to have another mode (aside of "Status", "A-Z" etc.) to set them in sequential order (like the photos in albums), so I can plan what to start next.
Another idea that comes to my mind is project/album timeline view for projects, so I could see mine (or others) progress.

One more thing - when searching for kits, could we get another dropdown section on the right to filter items in the stash only?
Somewhere here I mean: [img1]

David M » Feature requests
I notice that in a listing view, e.g. my stash, or a search results page, a magazine always says it's associated with exactly one project, no matter how many of my projects it might actually be associated with (including 0). For example, I have scalemates.com/press/issue.php?id=10124 in my Stash once, associated with two projects, but in the listing view it says "Stash 1x| Projects 1x".

While comparing on Scalemates which webstores sell the modelling products I'm looking for, one thing I'm missing is the books they have. If you watch a book page on Scalemates, the shop section is missing, though many of the modelling shops on Scalemates offer them. Would it be complicated to make this work like on the other product pages?

Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but my thought here is when adding a kit, there is an area where you can add the colours/paints required by the kit, thus if someone else is ordering the kit, they can also order the paints at the same time.

Boris B » Feature requests
Hi Tim, I just merged two entries for the 1:72 Toko P-63C and the deleted one had an instructions manual that does not seem to have carried over to the good one. Is that normal ? Should we transfer instructions manual by hand, or can it be automated ? B.

When clicking the "Like" button on a thread, shouldn't the Like count increment immediately instead of only after a page reload? (Same for the "Unlike" button.)

Pierre » Feature requests
Hi, seems like I was hit by a bug: a kit I added to wishlist, moved to on order then to stash now sits on the on order page while showing Stash x1. Notifications for the moves did show on my wall.

Easy enough to fix on my end but I thought maybe it is worth mentioning.

It's the A-4F on gota

Cheers!

Please add an "[All]" checkbox at the top of filter lists that are longer than, say, 10. When there are over 100 topics or brands (or over 1000) and I want to see all except a few, it would be much quicker enabling all with one click and then uncheck the ones I'm not interested in than have to individually enable dozens or hundreds of checkboxes.

Starbase101 » Feature requests
In the "Add missing data" section of SCM Contributor Page maybe add a stand-out reminder/request to search the database for your item before adding it? There are a lot of incorrect duplicate entries in the database, probably because people simply don't check first to see if their item already exists before they proceed to add it. Having such a reminder/request could help cut down on the quantity of duplicate items added.

James C » Feature requests
Would it be possible to automatically subscribe to a topic, when a kit is added to the stash, and/or have a check box on the stash page to add all currently owned kits as favorite topics etc?

And would also be great if we could filter the news feed to exclude projects that are sill just "Ideas" (unstarted) or that don't have any accompanying albums etc.

For me personally, for the news feed, I would just prefer to only see new or updated work in progress albums, kit reviews and comments etc. Everything else is just clutter and borderline SPAM.

Thanks

Maybe already requested, but it might be a good feature to select a default language for the user. I'm always getting Dutch, but I'd like to always have English as my preferred language.

Antonio Micheli » Feature requests
Hi all,
i think it could be a good idea to have the possibility to insert in the database, in addition to the instructions, the manufacturer's list of colors needed to complete the kit

When I search for kits, once I select "Kits", when screen refreshes, the label is switched to "Utensils", though all works like it should for "Kits"
