![]() ![]() However I've just had a hard look at it again and I can't see anything to say I can't. I wasn't sure whether I could mention this before because they have terms in their legal agreement about confidentiality, One thing I should definitely mention is that I'm not doing this totally for free - I'm part of the ebay affiliate program. I believe in creating software that's a joy to use. I hate buggy software and I really hate spyware.Īlso I don't believe in just ease of use. No worries NDH - I'm a skeptical guy myself. Hope it's helpful somewhat, even if it's not all good news! An impressive piece of work, certainly. ![]() This slows me down when I want to rapidly scan a list of auction titles. Along that thread, the item pictures can be annoying, since they often limit the number of auctions that display in the window. Sortable columns would be nice, as well as a feature to remove unwanted columns. Even so, I'd almost certainly use it - I could set it up to download the day's auctions before I went to bed, and see what the sieve had for me in the morning. In order to make the Sieve truly useful, you could have it download all the descriptive text (if this were possible), though that would make for a lengthy download (on the order of a hour or two?) as well as a cumbersome data file. Many "hidden treasure" auctions can be found by searching the descriptions. I, and I suspect many other collectors, won't use it, since it doesn't search the auction description text. The keyword weighting is a good idea, and implementation was good. I only referenced the help file once, to read about the keyword weighting, so it's intuitive, too. It downloaded all the auctions in the RPG category very quickly, and sorted them in a logical and easy to use format. Nice install/uninstall routines too - I can't stand software that puts a ton of icons everywhere, or which wants to insert itself unasked into my startup folder. ![]() The software appears very well thought out and written. I meant to write this the other day, but forgot! ![]()
