Thx

Hi Globus,

I have just tried your application and I must say I like it very much. I have only one teeny little problem - after the last payment at Fotolia the total earning does not show properly any more. In the application I can see about 2 USD more than I really earned.
Another thing is that with some agencies the total earning is not really "total" but shows the subtotal earning after the last payment. With other agencies it is really TOTAL - you might want to correct it.
Thank you very much for such a useful application - it seems really to save me a lot of time.
Have a nice time...
:)

hi peep,
I am very pleased to hear that you like my application :)

TOTAL earnings indicator show your current account balance.
MONTH earnings indicator show your earnings in current month
(independent from you payout)
if you do a payout, it could be that the MONTH earning indicator show more than TOTAL eanings indicator.

OK, I am going to check it all, but even now without having to look I can tell you shutterstock is definitely one of them. On the other hand, bigstock is sure to be OK.
But there is something wrong wit fotolia. E.g. I have just sold a picture for 2cr which is 0.66 USD and the application reads 0.81! And the monthly a total sums seem to be affected in similar ways.

Globus

this is verry strange,  :o
I have registered by Fotolia Europa, and here is 1cr=0.83€
I sold a picture for 0.35cr, StockMon show mine information correct:
0.35cr * 0.833 * 1.56(excange rate) = 0.45$ (or 0.29€)

Are you going to update it? It does not work with SX any more and it has stopped working with SS today. It stopped showing DT and 123rf today´s DLs several weeks ago. And for me it never showed IS today´s DLs. This way it would soon turn useless, which I would be very sorry about. I liked this application.

Globus

i updated new plugins, please look on mine site.
re. IS today's DLs: the problem is , IS-Server update daily information only ca. one time per 24h. I hope it will be changed in futcher ;).

StockXpert plugin has multiplication problem (shows cents for dollars... would love to have such performance)

P.S. I want to apologize for my original negative reaction to this app, even with bugs it i pretty handy, and author fixes problems (maybe not immediately, but they are fixed)


peep

Yeah, you are right - the application IS handy. I find it pretty useful and I am really happy it started working properly again. I have a few bugs here to report: DT plug-in does not show the monthly performance correctly - it is about a quarter of the real earnings although the total is OK. BS total still does not take into account the payments. And of course there are still a few N/A items, but since I am sure you know about them yourself, I shall not write about them.

Globus

i uploaded new StockXpert plugin, please try it and tell me if it doesn't work,thx

peep

StockXpert works just fine but DT does not. Something is wrong with the monthly earning stat.

Globus, first of all, u made a great tool!
And the second, I've downloaded plugin for 123rf, but the today's stats is still not working :(

upd: and Fotolia is showing todays more money than real
maybe something wrong in my currency FT options? here it is:
Currency - Dollar
1 Credit = $ 1.00

And a small suggestion.
I think will be great, if the trayicon will show the sum of today's earnings from the all stock sites, rounded to the entire, for example, if today's earnings is 23,75$, the icon will be 24, and when it's refreshing, it may looks like "24" but in flashing square frame for example. There is also may be option turn on/off this function for trayicon..

upd: and once more suggestion:) it will be nice to see in the main window info about last refresh, something like "last refresh: 3mins.."

toshimself

dreamstime today's not working too...

Globus

Info: StockMon.exe was updated!

@toshimself
thank you for cool suggestions :)
>dreamstime today's not working too...
is the problem still exists?

>123rf, but the today's stats is still not working
today's stats will be comming soon

>Fotolia is showing todays more money than real
the problem is: credit price in differnt countries
I'm leaving in Europa, and here is 1Credit = 0,83€
i will fix and manage this issue sap.

@peep,
i can't reproduce your problems, but i will try it further ...

For dreamstime yes, today's earnings is "N/A" like in 123rf, monthly is just "0,00" and total is showing current balance.

Globus

@toshimself,
N/A means: this information will not supported by blugin at the moment

Globus

New Update!

  • improved performance
  • delta earnings indication (in mainform and in tray)
  • last update time indication
  • posibility to start updating per agency separately!
  • 123rf: retrive today's earnings
  • Fotolia: Credit-worth is adjustable

I still have an issue with Dreamstime - it is correctly picking up the monthly total, but it is showing the monthly statistics (total amount earned and downloads) for September 2008 - instead of December.

Anyone else see that issue?

Fotolia's currency stats are backwards.  I'm getting dollar amounts under euros and euro amounts under dollars.

Also, I'm getting all-time earnings for BigStock instead of current earnings in account, like Peep.

Otherwise...a very cool app!  It has every single stat that I track, and will save me loads of time updating my spreadsheet.

i think you not correct configurated fotolia plugin.
You can set (in Options-Form) credit - worth for fotolia - plugin, default is it 1cr = 1eur.  (new docu isn't ready yet)
please take a look and correct it ;)
thx

I just now saw your reply. 

I tried to fix it per your instructions, and even installed the newest version of StockMon, but I'm still getting $ amounts under euros, and visa versa.  Then I tried changing the currency exchange rate to convert euros into dollars, but it didn't give the correct earnings.  I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I'd like to see dollars on the dollars page, and euros on the euros page.  They are backwards.
