Originally when we first launched our Basecamp integration we had an ‘import from basecamp’ drop-down on the New Project and New Estimate screens.

After a time, we realized that drop-down was slowing down the creation of new projects dramatically, so it was removed.

Tonight we will push a new build of Cashboard into production that reintroduces the feature in a smarter way.

The new feature only grabs your active list of projects in Basecamp when you ask it to. Clicking the Import from Basecamp button will fetch all of your projects from Basecamp, and allow you to select one to import. Polite, right?

We’ve also cleaned up the projects table a bit, removing the stupid icon indicator that showed up when a project was linked with Basecamp.

It’s been replaced with a thoughtful link that will allow you to navigate directly to your linked Basecamp project. I hope you find it as useful as we do.
