00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.400
Hi! Welcome to uStore version 16. 

00:00:03.400 --> 00:00:10.833
This new release includes features that are designed to remove the need to access the uStore server’s file system.

00:00:10.833 --> 00:00:15.599
If you have stores that use custom legacy skins instead of themes, 

00:00:15.600 --> 00:00:22.233
then from version 16 you will now manage the upload and download of skin files in the uStore back office 

00:00:22.233 --> 00:00:27.033
instead of having to login to the server to access the file system.

00:00:27.033 --> 00:00:35.333
There is also a new preset for managing product option icons for both NG themes and legacy skins.

00:00:35.333 --> 00:00:42.399
From version 16 onwards, you are no longer allow duplicate stores that are using legacy store mode. 

00:00:42.400 --> 00:00:48.566
And as usual, there are several bug fixes included that were reported in previous versions.

00:00:48.566 --> 00:00:52.666
Let’s take a closer look at these features.

00:00:52.666 --> 00:00:55.799
This store is using the legacy store mode. 

00:00:55.800 --> 00:01:01.133
On the appearance tab, you can see the new buttons for managing the skin files. 

00:01:01.133 --> 00:01:07.633
You can download the selected skin folder, replace the selected skin with a new folder, 

00:01:07.633 --> 00:01:13.133
upload a new skin folder or delete a skin which is not used any more. 

00:01:13.133 --> 00:01:17.099
Note that you must now add new skins via this interface. 

00:01:17.100 --> 00:01:23.866
If you go to the file system and add skin folders, they will not be available here to set on your store.

00:01:23.866 --> 00:01:27.932
It is also important to note that while we are here on the Stores tab, 

00:01:27.933 --> 00:01:36.133
the buttons will only appear here if the logged in user has permission to access the Presets tab.
 

00:01:36.133 --> 00:01:42.166
In the presets area, you will find this new setting for managing product option icons.

00:01:42.166 --> 00:01:49.232
There are two sections – for managing icons in uStore NG themes, and in legacy skins.

00:01:49.233 --> 00:01:55.299
To start, you would probably download the current icons.

00:01:55.300 --> 00:02:03.233
Here you can see the default icons are in one folder and any custom icons that you had on the server before upgrading, 

00:02:03.233 --> 00:02:07.999
or that you upload later, will be located in the custom folder.

00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:12.400
Let’s, for example, make a change to the gloss paper type icon. 

00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:17.733
I’ll use Photoshop to add a gold star just to show it is different. 

00:02:17.733 --> 00:02:23.199


00:02:23.200 --> 00:02:28.500
Remember to export your icon in PNG file format. 

00:02:28.500 --> 00:02:30.966
Now to upload the icon. 

00:02:30.966 --> 00:02:39.832
This dialog will allow you to select and upload many PNG icons at the same time, but a zip file will not be permitted.

00:02:39.833 --> 00:02:42.399


00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:45.833
Now, I will check by previewing this storefront. 

00:02:45.833 --> 00:02:48.766


00:02:48.766 --> 00:02:51.432
And here is the new icon.

00:02:51.433 --> 00:02:54.099
If I was to download again... 

00:02:54.100 --> 00:03:00.000


00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:03.333
...you can see the custom icon is located here...

00:03:03.333 --> 00:03:06.366


00:03:06.366 --> 00:03:10.966
...and default folder still contains the original file.

00:03:10.966 --> 00:03:15.799
If you are creating icons for new product properties that you have added to a store, 

00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:21.733
then you can find important information about the size, format and naming conventions here.

00:03:21.733 --> 00:03:28.999
If you are still working with legacy skins, or you want to change the icons of properties displayed in legacy components 

00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:38.866
that are used in an iframe inside NG themes, you can select the skin that you want to change icons in, and download and upload in the same way.

00:03:38.866 --> 00:03:48.566
Another benefit of this new way to handle the property icons is that your custom icons will not be overridden by future uStore version upgrades. 

00:03:48.566 --> 00:03:54.599
This used to be a problem when updating icons on the file system.

00:03:54.600 --> 00:04:01.866
From version 16 onwards, you are no longer allow duplicate stores that are using legacy store mode. 

00:04:01.866 --> 00:04:07.366
As usual, each release of uStore includes updates and fixes behind the scenes 

00:04:07.366 --> 00:04:12.566
to provide the best possible experience for your stores and marketing portals.

00:04:12.566 --> 00:04:19.832
The uStore team hopes that these features will make life easier when managing your theme and skin customizations.
