XM-Scaler is probably the easiest way you will find to manage large numbers of images that you wish to
upload to the web. You simply create a folder on your own PC and place your collection of images in it.
You can have any number of folders and subfolders, supplier folders or department folders.
Then when you’re ready to upload you can simply hit the ‘Upload’ button and your entire collection will
be transferred to the web whilst retaining the same folder structure as you have on your PC. If you wish
you could drill down into your local library and just select individual folders or individual images to
upload.
Every image that is transferred to the web will be automatically re-scaled to 5 different sizes of your
choice. You can send literally 1000’s of images at the click of a button, all perfectly scaled, all padded
out with white space to ensure an equal size and perfect for both, website use and in-store applications,
such as, ticketing, hand-outs, iPads, Mobiles and many other In2Retail applications.
As a subscriber to X-Margin, you would be offered very low cost webspace for your uploaded images
and this can be used from any department within your store and is private to your company. Any number
of key staff can install the XM-Scaler onto each of their PC’s Laptops and Notebooks and each control
their own image library for their own respective departments.
First of all, create a folder on your local PC. Install and fire
up the XM-Scaler and log in the same as you do for X-
Margin.
The XM-Scaler directory tree will default to the installed
directory folder, in order to point it to your own folder click
the Edit button on the top menu bar and click through to
your own folder. You can also set your required image sizes
from the same screen. Then just click apply. From that point
forward, XM-Scaler will always connect to your chosen
folder.
Place any number of images and sub folders manually into the automatically created
Image_library folder found in the folder that you created. These images will then
become visible in the XM-Scaler. Double click the directory tree on the right to
refresh the directory tree.
Tick whichever images you would like to upload or simply use the buttons across the
top to select all images. Then click the ‘Upload’ button and your images appear in the
bottom righthand corner as they are re-scaled and uploaded.
When your images have been uploaded you can view them
by going into your X-Margin, Edit | Item maintenance | Edit
items, just below where you select the range you will see a
dropdown that defaults to Standard screen, change this to
Image maintenance and click the View uploaded images
button.
You can now switch between your private image library and
the In2Retail shared image library. Drill down into your
uploaded folders using the on screen folder tree until you see
your images. Click an image then click on the paste button
next to your X-Margin product descriptions and your image
will be attached to that item. Repeat this for any number of
items in the range and then be sure to click on Save
changes.
You can also attach an image to the range in the same way
where you will see a range level image container just above
the items on the same page in X-Margin. Typically this would
be for an asperational roomset image.
How to use XM-Scaler
Pasting images directly to websites
To directly paste image paths to your website or other
application, dropdown the image size selector, then
click any image.
In your website content manager or other application,
rightclick and paste. The full image path to that sized
image will then be pasted in.
Please note:
In order to use XM-Scaler you must be a subscriber to X-Margin. The actual connection setting to upload images must also be setup within X-Margin but may be
used to directly connect to your own web host server or image server. The XM-Scaler can be downloaded directly from within your X-Margin,
Systems | Configuration Website defaults page.
