I just started HomeBox (mostly for managing items in storage, but at the same time we are starting to catalog other items in the home)

I have a few questions:

1. I notice that locations do not get an ID like items/Assets do. Is there a reason why? I think it would be useful

2. Also, one can apparently not add images of locations. Any reason why?

3. I have started by defining several boxes (in which we store goods) as locations, because that seemed to make more sense than tagging them as items (with contents as sub-items)

This allows me to later just attach the box/suitcase etc to another parent location and all items inside will move along with it.This is the main reason why I want images and IDs for locations too.

particularly also to be able to use the ID on a printed label for the location (boxes, shelves etc)

Is anyone else doing this, or are there reasons not to do this?

Re Ids. I think it would be good to have the ability to define several namespaces for IDs, (by defining a pattern etc) and then have the ability to assign the 'next if from namespace X' to each item. (with separate spaces for locations and items , but the ability to override that). And HB should remember the last used namespace to draw the next free number form .

The idea behind separate nemaspaces is to eg have one for each person's private items, for rooms, boxes, shelves etc.

Hi, sorry for the slow reply, been very busy.

1, 2. This is coming at some point.
As for having namespaces for IDs my hesitation would be added complexity to users, and I'm not sure how used it would be, I think there's a discussion somewhere for it tho.
As for image editing, in the long term we'll be building an app for mobile which will make it easier to rotate, crop, images. I think at some point we'll also add an option to store images at lower quality.
