Unicorn,

a few questions if I may... sorry if they are answered somewhere on your site, I couldn't find them.

- what functionality is disabled in trial version vs full one? Or, if it's full-functional, what differences are there?
- is it Java-based? If not any specific environment requirements?
- Where do usernames/passwords get stored? This is safety-angled question, and as you no doubt understand quite of significance.

Is anyone using this? It seems like a handy tool to use.

1. You can upload only 1 file per program run in the trial version
2. Cushy Stock is native Windows application
3. By default, logins and passwords are stored in the database of the program. Also you may choose to use some security options and don't save passwords. In this case you will have to enter the password every time before upload as it won't be stored anywhere.

I updated Cushy Stock to 1.6.3. version. New Stockxpert FTP uploading rules supported. FTP uploading subsystem updated. http://www.cushystock.com

Will it ever be released for Mac?

Do you recommend me any Mac programmer?

No idea what you mean.

I can develop only Win software, so I need a partner to develop Mac software.

Cushy Stock updated to 1.7.5 version. Added multi thread uploading and some other features.

I'm loving Cushy - it saves me so much time.

Still no Mac version

Numerous serious bugs and the author appears to have disappeared...

what bug? post it to the tracker?  I don't usually have trouble connecting with Alex - maybe he doesn't like you?   

dnavarrojr, can I help you?
Some bugs will be fixed in the 1.8 version with portfolio import from stock agencies 
Coming soon!

How do you want me to report the bugs?  In your forums (no posts there since March)?

The biggest bug at the moment is this:

Click on an image and hold down the button to drag it into the categories window.  If you drag it across the divider too quickly, you can't drop it, you gotta start over.  If you drag it over the stock info area, you can no longer drop it.  So I have to slowly drag an image across the divider into the category area to use that feature.

I know of 6 others, I can post those here too if you'd like.

You can post new bugs here http://tracker.cushystock.com/
Please, review existing bugs before posting.

Gotcha.  And will do.

Wow, development sure moves slow...  Bugs posted a couple months ago that aren't do to be fixed for 1 or 2 more versions.

Unfortunately some bugs hardly reproduced in the my environment  Some other bugs need to add new technologies support, such as Adobe XMP, etc.

I spent a couple solid hours working with it last night.  Over all, it's not bad software at all.  I ran into an issue with IPTC that I'll post on your tracker later today.

I don't mean to be bitchy, my wife's dog has a bad cold and is coughing constantly.  She won't let me lock him in the car at night so that I can get sleep, so I haven't slept well in a week now.

In any case, I realize that you are probably developing this part time (have a real day job), so I can understand if things aren't immediate like we impatient Americans think everything should be.

Should product suggestions also be posted in the tracker?

There is a moderated wish list http://www.cushystock.com/index.php?page=wishlist

If you need to run it on Mac - there are Windows emulators available for Mac. You should be able to run Windows program through the emulator.

Yeah, all the new intel based macs can run boot camp or parallels desktop - which allows you to run windows just like a PC.   It's so great - fast too!  I almost wouldn't mind getting a mac now. It's like getting the best of both worlds.

What's new in Cushy Stock?

• Portfolio import from stock agencies
• Each image sales tracking
• Metadata copy command
• IPTC tag cleaning
• Localization (Russian and Dutch included)
• Histogram view
