it is a pity really that the new submit interface doesn't come for so long. Even my tiny portfolio of 105 pictures does generate regular sales (a few per month) - so I feel it would make sense to upload my other ~1400 photos... but I don't have enough patience to do it with the current interface.

Similar for me and my illustrations. They could be a good addition for their site (the don't have anything similar), but I just can't be bothered with their upload system.

I am using ftp on pm and it's working properly - sometimes it takes a few minutes for pictures to show on site, but nothing more

Did you contact support?

Come on now, guys - it's only been 19 months since the first announced it Wink

If, no, make that when it's released, it will be the most extensively tested piece of software ever...

I doubt very much they are doing the testing for the last 19 months. I guess they just got some other priorities and submission mechanism remains unfinished.

I guess the programming expenses for the new upload system were deemed 'unsustainable'. Grin

Well, you probably noticed Panthermedia upload issues with LightBurner - only FTP uploads work at the moment there, and there is no Panthermedia uploads at all with ProStockMaster. Panthermedia is aware of that and according to the information I have they plan to solve it in February yet.

if they get "enough" submissions (enough from their own business point of view) why bother with the new system? Easier upload = more uploads = more inspectors = higher cost. If they can't justify it with sales growth it's counterproductive to introduce it...

David, the main problem is not uploading but attributing which is extremely painful at the moment... It is more painful than the old system at Alamy (and now Alamy significantly improved it).

Agree. I do not think it works for Panthermedia neither for their contributors or buyers.

I would definitely streamline the entire upload process to a simple 'upload->approve->sell' scheme, like many other agencies do.
Faster uploads with less human intervention = bigger image collection at lower costs, and faster growth.
Hope that my fellows at Panthermedia share this vision.

I uploaded a few hundred a year or so ago. They went through them, posted all the approvals first then all the rejections last. As they only count the last 100 inspection results, this meant that instead of having an 80%+ approval rate (which is what it actually was) they credited me with about a 90% rejection rate and cut off my FTP access. It was so ridiculous I didn't bother with them again (I'm not messing about for months uploading a couple a day via my super-slow connection to get FTP privileges back again).
