PRINTING MY COLLECTION

[Ops Manager]

If we ever shut down, then we'll make some sort of option..for now, dont worry about it..

All I'm asking for is a way to feel like I could someday get my personal data out if they database is no longer maintained (just like you are offering for w900 people), or features like being able to search my collection aren't added so I could make an excel spreadsheet of my personal collection that I could search. Glad to hear a "may" be in the future, because your first response seemed like that the basic stance was against it.

[Ops Manager]

Incorrect. Our import does not import data from w900 other than your personal data. We do NOT copy their database info. We have the same models in our system and have gone through great lengths to create a match for each one.

We aren't saying no, we are saying it may be in the future if we can figure to secure it properly.

At that level of effort you could also write as script to screen scrape all the database. Plus you offer import from another database so you are essentially doing what you fear to somebody else. Part of the reason I started here, I liked the seeming openness of this site thinking the import and printing features were leading to someday offering the insurance of exportiing my own data.

Possibly in the future we may let you export your data, but your data is just the price and the sale. Suppose you added every model to your database, tedious, but can be programatically done. And then exported the list. You'd have our database.

Hmm. I meant a Csv of my own collection only. If that's what you understood I said, Are you saying you'll never allow export of our own data? If that's the case I don't plan to add any more planes to my collection. Too many times I've seen databases disappear our languish with no way to access my collection anymore.

[Ops Manager]

We will not allow CSV export, someone could take the entire database. We will work on fixing the code if an image doesn't exist.

Adding a CSV spreadsheet export (lists url of image only) might be a nice option to have when images are breaking the pdf creator.

Try now, fixed the images; they were bad

Perfect ... so one bad image will prevent the printing, phew glad you guys do the work to keep things running smootthly.

I'm getting a similear error;mPDF error: IMAGE Error (http://www.wafflecollectibles.com/db.../26507.1.jpg): Could not find image file

Is this error enough to keep my collection from printing still??
