Hi Niakris,

are you planning to support the "Illustrative Editorial" imagery for Adobe Stock soon? Currently Stock Submitter says Editorial is not supported by Adobe and wont let me upload my edotorials...

Thanks for the great work of yours and your team by the way....  Frank

MicrostockSubmitter / Wishlist: Agency sets
« on: May 29, 2017, 15:25 »
Hi Niakris,

thanks for your great work, StockSubmitter is getting better and better all the time! Nevertheless I have one item on my wishlist for some time now that I want to share: I would love to have agency sets, where I can define group of agencies and after selecting such a set, the appropriate agencies are set for uploading images - basically just as when manually ticking the agencies in the lower area but more convenient. That way I could define sets for major agencies, for agencies that support editorial, video and such likes.

Hope you got my point and find the proposal useful enough to implement it! :-)

Cheers, Frank

Thanks Mat for the speedy reply! Will smartphone photos uploaded via web interface still be accepted?

Does Fotolia / Adobe still accept uploads of smartphone photos? I thought this is called the Fotolia Instant collection but could not find any corresponding app for iOS any more?

Hi Niakris,

I tried the scheduler and it seems to work fine. The only thing that Id notice is the fact that you can not tell if an image is scheduled for upload - a separate color for the status indication (the red, yellow and green bubbles) would be great imho - what do you think?

Some kind of indication is planned, not sure what exactly it'll be though.
Probably some icon on the thumbnail or something like that.

I thought about that too, the issue I see is the fact that a photo might only be scheduled for certain agencies while being uploaded right away to others. Hence an indication on agency level per photo might imho make more sense - thats why I proposed the bubbles.

+ New "Schedule" feature is launched in experimental mode.

Thank you so much Niakris for implementing the schedule feature - now Stock Submitter is even more useful to me and probably loads of other users who have preferences when supplying agencies with their photos or for situations where you do not want to provide all shots of a series at once!

I will test the feature right away and report anything I should notice - for the time being thanks a lot again for being that active in regards of further developing Stock Submitter!

Nice tool, however the keyword tool only adds keywords and no titles or descriptions from the image(s) chosen. Thats definitely an advante of Stocksubmitter - so please keep on working on the Mac version! :-)

I dont want to put you under any pressure but could you give us an update regarding the Mac Alpha - Im thinking about quitting PC for good and since StockSubmitter is one of the few PROs still, Id like to be able to cross that out as well! :-) Thanks...

Hi Niakris, Quickmeta is working again well indeed, thanks. Regarding iS I sent you the error report, it says "image is too small", which is not the case for the images I try. Thanks for looking into this issue.

12
Hi Niakris, good luck for fixing that bug - as you probably know it seems to affect uploading to some sites as well, at least I get the same error message when trying to upload to SS or iS. Thanks for your efforts, stocksubmitter is really a great tool!

Glad to hear it! I wondered if we would ever see that day. Give a shout if you need any beta testers. I would be willing to help you out!
Same here: happy to hear that finally I can perform the complete workflow on my Mac - will be happy to test and provide feedback. Current functionality would be a good start I guess... Maybe scheduling of uploads would be a great addition - sometimes I do not want to provide an agency with all photos of a shoot at the same time... Good luck for your development.

they answer me yesterday it will be fixed soon  ... when is soon ?

It typically takes a few days for an update to make it through Apple's review process once it's submitted.

That's true, based on my experience I'd say between 2 and 8 days depending on how long the queue is - same as with every agency! :-) however two things come to my mind:

1. I do not understand why functionality that often changes like handling the logins with agencies is part of the App itself and not a web service in between that can flexibly be updated without needing to submit an update.

2. Issues like an App crashing after a reload are definitely things that need to be found during testing hence I'd like to question the QA process of the developers.

Money should not be an obstacle here since the charged users twice, first for individual agency in-app-purchases and the second time when changing to a subscription model...

All fine for me - simply installed 1.6.1 and all worked as before - great!

Thanks, Cathy, this is very helpful. Since I already have a business account, I will do some test purchases now and hopefully all works out well!

17
thanks cathy, I searched (again, did not find any information on first try) and found the thread. I now changed the path to http://franky242.net/shop/symbiostock_ipn/ and hope this works! Thanks a lot...

Yesterday I received the following warning from PayPal:

Dear xyz,

Please check your server that handles PayPal Instant Payment Notifications (IPN). IPNs sent to the following URL(s) are failing:

If you do not recognize this URL, you may be using a service provider that is using IPN on your behalf. Please contact your service provider with the above information. If this problem continues, IPNs may be disabled for your account.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

I switched to sandbox mode and tested a transaction: I was able to pay and download the files afterwards as a user however did not receive any notification mail as seller to the mail-account of my shop.

Today I received the same mail from PayPal again - any one experienced the same or any tipps for me? - Thank you!

@franky242 You saw it working on my site

Yet it doesn't work for you, maybe because it's coded in a weird fashion.
Like it uses the LINK tag in BODY below the footer? (not allowed)

Code: [Select]
</div><link rel='stylesheet' id='slideshow-jquery
While sometimes your site does not fully render and there is no ending
Code: [Select]
</body>
</html>

It likes to happen right before that <link tags, I see some unclosed tables in the code also (around paypal area) etc.. etc..

I'd suggest you to drop this plugin, or try it's own forum to solve things ( http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/slideshow-jquery-image-gallery ).
There is WP 3.6 already. I can't debug other plugins especially when I don't find them stable, I 'work for Symbio' and trying my best to stick with the rules. Sure I make mistakes as anyone else and bugs may happen.

But FIIRST do a clean up, disable ALL unnecessary plugins including syxtra, go to the http://validator.w3.org/ and then add one by one to see what's happening.

Otherwise you'll never finish it


Hi plrang, thanks a lot for this extensive feedback! Will need to look into the coding - I am by far not an experienced programmer hence this might take some time. Also the hint wit h the w3 validator is great, thanks a bunch! Good luck to your endeavour in the meantime...

@plrang: Strange, the slider seems to appear and disappear in a random fashion. Too bad, I need to further experiment I guess. Only thing I can say is that with SYXtra disabled the slider wont disappear...

@stockphoto-images.com: See http://ajotte.com/stock-plugin/

21
The problem is it works on my site (at least I see it)

http://stock.imagerion.com/slide-in-post/
http://stock.imagerion.com/slideshow-test/

Have you cleared, disabled the cache while doing changes ?


Yes, I did. Strange, I can see your sliders as well. Do you see mine? http://franky242.net/shop/

22

Please give me other names or links, gonna check it out, although I am not disabling any third party features and do not install any external libraries.

Slideshow by Stefan Boonstra and ?

I also installed Cnhk Slideshow and Meta Slider, none of them seem to work with SYXtra activated - Id guess it has to do with the way you handle images but this is just blind guessing...

23
HI plrang, unfortunately I need to bother you again since I found out a rather disturbing thing: Your plugin seems to interfere with slideshow plugins: I currently have Slideshow by Stefan Boonstra included on the homepage http://franky242.net/shop/ to display a full width slideshow above the text. It currently does not show up and after I deinstalled several plugins I had to find out that once I turn off SYXtra, the slideshow displays. One I turn SYXtra back on, it wont. Out of curiosity I installed two more slideshow plugins, all seem to suffer from the same effect. Might this have to do with the way you implemented the enlarge function? Please tell me if I can provide you with anything that might simplify your debugging - SYXtra is updated to the latest version of today. Thanks...

@franky242

Best Of images - you mean Featured? It will be added, can't tell the date yet, but soon as always.
In the mean time maybe you'd find this feature useful: http://stock.imagerion.com/syxtra/including-thumbnails-in-posts-or-pages/

2. it's just another version, much faster and it works ok if you are strict with your keywords. otherwise you'll have to use Leo's solution at the moment.
If you'd like to know more: http://stock.imagerion.com/syxtra/master-tag-help/

I explained there why syxtra related work as it is and how to get 100% similar images. It's just my solution for keeping the speed and accuracy.

It may be hard to get what you need with this feature while using those keywords for sample image: http://franky242.net/shop/image/mature-man-and-young-woman-flirting/

Keywords which may be unrelated: blue, cheerful, cute, elderly,
enjoy,  fun, human, life, lifestyle, modern, portrait, Stuttgart, successful,
 white

It works for me well, because I keep reediting my keywords even after my pics was submitted to micros. It's also a SEO thing.
I know about the keyword weights etc, it's just another solution I decided to use.

EVERYTHING will be improved, I work on it less than 2 months, so I hope you can use it some way. :)


Hi plrang, thanks for your extensive feedback.
Yes, I was referring to "Featured Images" when mentioning best of images. The inclusion in pages might indeed be a flexible way also for the homepage - however Id love for this feature to also support categories in addition to tags. Since I already have a "Best of" category or an "Architecture" category, this might be a great addition to highlight related photos.

Regarding the related images, the master tag is definitely a good addition but looking into the analytics of my site proves me right to also add these "close to spam" keywords. Sometimes even I am surprised by which keywords people end up on my site! :-)

Will wait curiously for any additions, did not mean to put you in a rush!

Hi plrang, just installed the plugin yesterday and need to say it is a really great improvement.
However, I noticed two things that Id like to see in future releases:

1. Ability to Display Best Of images - saw this mentioned elsewhere as well

2. The related images feature to me does not look as sophisticated as the original one by Leo - seems to look for main keywords from the latest images on downwards whereas Leo seems to build a collection from all available images which brings better results especially in larger image collections!

Thanks for taking those into account!
