Has anyone used this addon? Anyone have any good opinions about it?

Moving to Third Party Add-Ons

I have!

for some time now, it is good, but be prepared for the worst licensing system EVER!, expect to be treated as a software pirate everytime you start the manager, with cryptic messages, saying you are using an un-registered version, and having to trawl through an extended resetting of IP etc, real pain when using the manager from either a laptop or dynamic IP (I use my laptop at work and home).

Maybe I'm on my high horse here, BUT I purchase software to make the job easier/quicker, I don't purchase software on the understanding I'm guilty until proven innocent, I'm finding the same attitude across the board with vendors at the moment.

Before anyone comments about the poor vendors, perhaps they should have a reliable and practical system in place to protect the software, but not at the expense of the user!

Rant over (perhaps!)

That is unfortunate.

But besides the licensing issues... do you find that it makes your life easier?

What things do you absolutely love about it?

Hi,

OK, good points:

Import CSV files, very easy and you can map all your fields, import images etc.
export CSV
Drag and drop categories
Drag and drop products to new cats

Bad points:

As I have said, I dread starting it up as I know I may have a good 20 minutes getting it working.
