Admin side redesign
The admin side needs a new clean, simple and modern style.

- Improved menu filter to work off similar words or tags to return menu links easier.
- Modular design to the dashboard to allow you to customize what data your presented with when you first log in.
- More workflow based links rather than specific sections.(Please suggest ideas for this as comments)

eNewsletter view online under a newsletter app thing ?
Basically when you send out a enewsletter thru the email manager, you then go to your inbox you see a link saying having trouble reading this click here to view online. It then opens up the browser goes to the website and loads the newsletter up. What would be nice is there to be an app which pulls up like the blog in date order of the history of newsletters that have gone out. We have had many clients ask for this and currenltly have 3 clients enewsletters going out which we have to convert to pdf then upload and…

introduce a "compare selected products" function
A 'compare selected products' would be very useful, as it would allow users to easily see how different products they are interested in stack up against each other.
For an example, see http://www.dinkumsystems.com/the-lens-shades/?sort=featured&page=1
I would, however, suggest that the function appear as a pop-up window (like the cart does at present) rather than taking visitors to another page, and away from the product page they were originally on.
3 votesThe template system is now flexible enough to build in this functionality with any custom style needed.

Search items by relevance, price, quantity etc
Front end of shop have drop downs to search the category or products by relevance, price low to high or high to low, best sellers, featured, a-z, z-a, customer rating. Like play.com, argos.co.uk etc, big when client has 300 items in one category you may want to search by one of these types of options. I think it would be usefull :)

Download Categories
add a function to make a category / groups for downloads e.g downloadable case studies or newsletters into year groups 2011, 2012, etc and you can filter thru the groups to the latest file. Also would be nice to have the downloads put into date uploaded order etc. so latest pdf at the top of the page instead of the bottom of the page :) or a way of moving them around like in products in products manager grab and drop style :)

incorporate a tracking number field in the admin area
After an order is received and is ready to be despatched, we manually e-mail the customer with a link to the website of the courier that will deliver their goods and a tracking number for them to use to track their order in transit.
It would be great if, when we update the status of an order (eg: changing it to 'order despatched'), there were two fields where we can enter the website for them to visit, and their tracking number, both of which would be included in the update e-mail sent to the customer.
1 voteHi Dan,
Although there’s currently no specific field for this in order manager, what you can do is add an order note. The note text can contain these details, emails the user and update the status at the same time. -

"You Save" percentage displayed on sale items
The "special offer" styling is great, but it would be fantastic if users were shown the percentage they are saving (eg: if the original product price is £200, the special price is £150 - "You save 25%!").

Predictive Search
Possibly suggestions for search terms In the search input field, much like Amazon, Google instant, etc.
Alternatively, some kind of 'live-filtering' system where particular products are displayed in a fluid content area without the visitor needing to press enter.
