YoWindow Forum

Hi girls & boys!

today i would ask you to use the upload-functionality if you post a landscape for the collection.

On some landscapes there were used some external hosters like imageshack or others. Some screenshots has vanished, were deleted, doesn't exist anymore.

That's a pity so i really would ask you to not use external image-hosters but to use the YoWindow-upload-function to save the screenshots on the yowindow-servers.

Thank you! - and have a nice weekend.

Hi Reinhart

I am updating the "YoWindow Landscape Collection" . I check the links. I remove broken links.Arranges landscapes. This is a lot of work.
Do you update the xls by using a script.

Hi Herman!

Yes i'm using a script to read the landscape-data directly from the forum.
At the moment the script is a "work-in-progress" - 3 screenshots:
What is not shown in the screenshot: below the data you can see in the screenshot i print the data in CSV-format which i easily can copy/paste into excel or google-doc.
What's missing of course is the tagging-information which has to be added manually.

One important restriction: it currently works only in IE because this browser let's me skip the "same domain policy" (after prompting me if he/it should allow this).

in addition to my previous post a screenshot where you can see the generated CSV-data

Hi Reinhart,
many many thanks to you for supporting my way/idea for this kind of the catalog of our landscapes
Thanks of your script now we have all this informations in a very complex and clearly arranged view.
Google docs allows us to download the catalog in many different file forms ... so f.e. as a pdf file and print it out and I think this make Yowindow better
And when I see your screens, I'm shure in the very next time we will see realised also my suggestion for the thumbs of the screenshots in the Excel-catalog

At the beginning I was afraid that we both were the only one believe this way but now I'm shure it is the right way.
Great job and thanks again!

Hi Reinhart
Thanks for the clear explanation.
This will contribute to a good landscape catalog. The start is one, but to keep it up to date is another thing.

Hi Herman,

The start is one, but to keep it up to date is another thing.

I don't share your concerns and I think it is not necessary to update the catalog after each post. Now we were waiting for 2 years and in my opinion a 2 week update interval it's enough.
And perhaps in the future Pasha will find a way to actuate the catalog automaticaly ...
