Re: Edit Multiple Items

And if you do that with markers too... Then customer orders 1 pen, and 1 marker and gets shipping estimate for 2 boxes! This new way does NOT work. It has to be smarter than XC4. This is no good at all for people selling products that don't weigh much. I have 2 box sizes and can't tell the system that some of my products need the bigger box because then if they order 1 "big" item and 1 "small" item, they get charged for 2 boxes even though the small item could fit in the big box with the big item. This is not good enough!

Re: Edit Multiple Items
Yes, I agree with you GreatLakesVacuum.
As I have said earlier (http://forum.x-cart.com/showpost.php?p=378443&postcount=11), we do want to add a support of routine that shipping calculator will calculate the final size of the package itself (of course, if shipping calculator supports it). But we are not going to add X-Cart 4 routine, because its packing algorithm is wrong and it cannot be easily solved. Moreover, it is shipping calculator's job to calculate best package size. That is why our position is: 1) Give easy algorithm of packing goods. The current version can be improved, but not dramatically. We can add a support of product classes, so pen/marker problem will be solved. 2) Give a way to use a complex algorithm of packing goods provided by shipping calculator. If you want to see either option faster, please register such idea and upvote it in our ideas tracker (ideas.x-cart.com). Tony.
