Ok, sorry, here is another issue... Product Images. Likely this is a known issue because it happens SO OFTEN. I'm using Studio for Windows. I really like that I can customize the product image for Next. It's still not helpful for sizers and poses but it's in the right direction since words aren't yet allowed on the Next thumbnails.
Suggestion No. 1: When changing photo for Classic or Next, PLEASE default UNCLICK the "Update Next/Classic Shop with the Same Selection" Because WHO would want to have the Next photo as the thumbnail? If you open the product up in Next, you then have two thumbnails that are the same, and already there is no place to put any description at all for the product in the Next shop.
So often, the Next product image changes on its own back to the default scene of some far away person. And I've resubmitted the same product so many times trying to figure this out. It doesn't do it for all products, just certain ones especially.
What I've determined is that Studio is calculating what image angles to provide to me based on the info from the product - is it skeleton info? So sometimes, it doesn't calculate the same? I've gone into my hip scaler to choose the image, and there is no hip image to choose. Later, it shows up. But later, it's kicked the image back to the default full body. It's like it's having to recalculate this all the time.
Suggestion No. 2: Already you have such a handy image search in which I can choose the mannequin color and scene. Quit trying to calculate the scenes to show me and just give them all to me. Maybe this would be a quick fix to the problem of it kicking off the custom scene for the Next product Image when for some reason it doesn't see the product in the same angle it did before.
Thanks for your hard work. In fact I am enjoying the Studio.
Ps, I don't understand this error I get when trying to post this post, because it tells me I have to select a valid topic, but I can only guess what they are until I get the error message telling me what they are. If I type in a topic that isn't valid, it lets me until I try to "share" my post. Likely you're using a standard blog software that you don't have much control over, but is there any way you can do a drop down list for post topics?

Just conclude anything Studio can't show an icon for, IMVU don't want you making. Move on find another site or make or make other products.

Hello @Drosselmeyer , Thank you very much for your comments here and for considering my requests!
To be able to set a preference for the classic/next thumbnails being updated together or not would be even better than my request. There are a number of dialogs it would be nice to have that option but those are small things. Like when it tells me that it’s going to create a new project when I edit something already submitted. If I had a little checkbox that said, “Don’t show this again”, that would be nice. But as I say, this is simply a minor annoyance and not an issue. A nice option would be to have the Next thumb first in the info panel, and a check mark there that says to use the thumbnail for classic too, and when I check it, the classic thumbnail automatically loads the Next thumb, and there is no option given to update it until I uncheck that check mark.
Regarding this of the next thumbnails resetting, if a fix is already coming then my request is somewhat moot. But to clarify my suggestion:
I can see that the angles/scenes are connected with the skeleton. In fact it would be nicer and faster if they were NOT connected with the skeleton at all or anything else. I know this opens up the possibility that the creator would use some strange useless angle, but I think that that is a very non possibility as a seller would very much want to use the scene that maximized viewer understanding of the product.
My suggestion is that low kb thumbnails of all of the angles/scenes possible be preloaded with the app. Then I can either (foolishly) scroll through all of them, or use the filter already in place to narrow down to my choice of scene. Once I choose that scene, that one thumbnail is downloaded and customized by the app with my product. Then because it’s no longer connected to the skeleton, perhaps it will not reset - or even have the problem of not showing the right scenes for me to choose from. I realize that this isn’t so helpful for avatar attachments, so a preview button would be nice.
I think my problems have mainly been with products that affect multiple skeleton parts, for me a combo scaler affecting the hips, calves and feet. It seems sometimes I’m given opportunity to choose a scene for one of the skeleton parts, and sometimes the other..
One last suggestion is for room products - I don’t seem to have control over that scene at all. For room products I suggest the ability to rotate the room and zoom in/out within the offered scene until I’m satisfied it shows a good representation of my room. I know that’s likely already on the list and I understand that priorities have to be set, so this is just a suggestion.
In fact I wonder why I can’t do this for all of the products and do away with suggested scenes altogether.
Again, many thanks. It’s a great opportunity to watch a new product unfold before my eyes.

@Lexique Thanks for the suggestions. I will pass the suggestion about not having the default be "Update Classic Shop with the same selection". Maybe this could be unchecked by default and there a be a user preference for it.
There IS a bug about shop images getting "reset" or not getting updated when changed and I think there is a fix coming.
The angles are preset. What is "in view" is determined by the bones in the skeleton that we have chosen for the preset. We are continuing to improve the system and if there is a particular view/preset you would like to see, let up know and we can add it.
For suggestion #2 are you saying to have the default be "show all images"? If so, unfortunately, we were getting a lot of complaints that it was taking too long to load all of the images so we went to an optimized approach where we show a few and then load the rest on demand when the filter is changed. I actually think we load the "hidden" ones in the background so that when you do switch the pop up quickly. Again, maybe there could be a user preference for how to present the images. I will suggest to the team.
