I only "synced" to adobe because I was forced to. I liked the fotolia interface much better.

For instance, how do you search and delete an old file to replace ?

You can't you have to wade thru all the images

It is a very poor interface

They call it "progress".
You know, when you have something already good and you make something worst just because you "feel" that you "should" make something new (exciting)

Unfortunately this doing things better worst is a new trend these last years�

I think adding a search to our portfolio on the Dashboard would help tremendously.

Adding weekly rankings and overall rankings would be really nice.

And making the earnings as the default selection instead of activity on the Insights section would save me a lot of clicks. I don't care for activity, just earnings.

I think Microsoft must have used this same strategy 

Microsoft invented this strategy

As much as I like the better sales at Adobe I really can't get on with the new contributor account design. I don't like the logical layout and everything is very difficult to find. I also have no way of searching my images to make sure I am not uploading duplicates.

Anyone else finding the same issues ? Its really awful to navigate. I much prefer the old Fotolia site layout.

There is no better income in adobe, I think!

How do you edit or add more keywords once accepted ?

From the contributor dashboard, find the image to be edited (that's the hard part!). Click on the thumb and then the pencil next to the keywords. Make the changes you need and then save.

I wish there was a way to see how many views a photo has had.  Of course downloads is important, but there is good information to be had knowing how many views a given photo has.

About all 'views' tell you is how many people didn't buy your image. That's more depressing than informative.

BS.

I too find Adobe confusing and have trouble finding my way around. I don't have similar problems with other stock agencies.

As a Footage only contributor, I have to agree with what's been said.

1) Views are our lifeline - without those, we have no feedback whatsoever regarding the clips. (yes, downloads are a nice statistic, but they are few and far between on footage - we need to see what is being looked at to help us determine what is in demand).

2) Ability to choose thumbnail.  Why this hasn't been a top priority for years I have no idea.  I have lost count of the number of pure black/green clips in my port due to the "3 second" still rule, or whatever they use - a good thumbnail is fundamental to selling a clip.

3) Layout - I don't need big thumbnails of my clips showing me my downloads. I need an easy to read columnar format (such as the old Fotolia dashboard or Pond5) showing me the relevant data such as views/downloads/review status etc.


Hope you can address some or all of these soon.

+ No more views next to files. That was helpful... 

Helpful for what? I know I don't get paid for a view and I can't see how someone looking but not buying is helpful. What can I learn from views. I understand I'd like to see what people are looking at, but if mine doesn't get the sale, I don't know much about why.
