Title: batch processing in dp
Post by: mtkang on November 23, 2011, 22:07

hi all,

I found it really taking a lot of times to choose categories in dp, is there a batch processing?

They have semi-batch processing, you can apply various settings from your previously submitted images. Only works well if you group your shots together using sequential file names. Their current keyword tool is broken BTW - it's counting all my phrases that are in parenthesis wrong (its counting all the individual words instead of the phrase - crazy annoying it's halted all of my submissions).

I upload via FTP.  Then when I go to the Unfinished Files page, I select all the images that will have the same categories and click on Edit Selected.  Whatever categories I choose will be applied to all the selected images.  Can't imagine anything faster or easier than that, other than not having categories at all.

+1 (I would say one can call that batch processing...?)  ;)

Good info here :) Didn't know about the other method.

Anyone else here having issues with phrases in "" not being counted right?
