Photos not available on magic input [Pattern Emporium]

Besties Tee | Flared & Banded T-shirt Sewing Pattern – Pattern Emporium.
This is 1 of 7 patterns so far and non will add photos automatically. I have contacted you via email but problem is still not resolved and this is extremely frustrating! Apart from this continual problem the app is exactly what I want and find it very useful. Please help me resolve this very irritating problem. Many thanks.

Hi it could be the design of the PE website which doesn’t enable the pictures to be loaded. I’ve just tried with a Pattern Emporium pattern - couldn’t get picture then tried a StyleArc one which loaded with the picture. Baffling🤔

Pattern Emporium definitely used to work fine - I’ve got quite a few of their patterns and it’s only more recently it stopped working. If magic input was this inconsistent from when I first discovered Stash Hub, it would definitely have been more of a consideration as to whether I bothered subscribing or not.

It’s a shame as it really is a fantastic app, but as it’s growing in new directions and more things being added to it, it seems to be losing some of the basics that are valuable to a lot of us.

@TheWizard is there a fix for this issue in the pipe-line?

The issue is that websites can change which can hinder how Magic Input works. I’ll look into Pattern Emporium specifically in the coming days so please bear with. In the meantime you can always download the images from the website and add them manually (obviously not ideal).

I appreciate your honesty. Are there any other aspects you feel are not up to scratch?

I didn’t mean to sound so moany, sorry! It’s only really the magic input that I get particularly frustrated with, I guess because the functionality of that is a big part of the app for me personally. So to have it being really good in the past, to it failing to get images more recently, I just find it more time consuming to have to save (upto) 8 images individually and then upload them.

I guess I don’t utilise many of the newer features particularly (such as the bulk upload, csv import or magic mockup (this I probably would use more if the line drawings on the pattern websites were compatible, sadly most of the ones I’ve tried aren’t), so I feel I’ve lost the thing I did use but gained things that aren’t overly useful to me - although I’m sure they’re great for other people :slightly_smiling_face:

It’s still a fantastic app though and a vital tool for me, I’d be absolutely lost without it for sure.

Ever since the Apple update last week, pictures are not loading from Photos on my Mac but they are on my iPhone… I wonder if something similar will work for you too?

I have the same issue with the magic icon
