Title: Adding Files To E+
Post by: 123XXX on January 07, 2011, 01:03
Am I missing something, or is the only way to locate the file that you want to add to E+ is by entering the E+ section and then going through all your images page by page until you find the file number for the corresponding image you want to add?

Is there no way to just do a quick search by file number to locate the image you want to add or some sort of button or box you can click on within the image's display page to more quickly add it to E+?

Cheers

I think you need to be exclusive to have files in E+ and looking at your profile via your other post here you don't appear to be.

I am exclusive. Otherwise i wouldnt even be raising the issue. But regardless, you don't seem to know the answer to the question itself it seems???

Nope.

Nope.

Cheers. Have you seen any talk of possibly adding the feature or revamping how the E+ interface works?

Yes, since Day 1.

Fair to say the progress has been slow.

Back when the CV was introduced (in 2006 I think) there was a promise that we'd have bulk editing tools for keyword editing on our images. It's always possible the promised tools for managing E+ files may yet appear, but I'm not anticipating it any time soon. It may also be that results have been mixed for E+ files - and the promised boost in the best match doesn't appear to have occurred either.  I don't know if that means they're reconsidering it, but people expected that sooner too.

Well excuse me for trying to help  ::), in your other thread titled "Do you ever wonder" you link to an image which in turn links to the contributor 'CapturedbyAmelia' who has an icon saying less than 250 downloads and no exclusive crown, therefore I was trying to point out that you need to be exclusive to have files in the E+ collection presuming you were that person.

Sorry RT. I didn't mean to snap at you. The link I was showing was on a picture where someone claims that it seemed the picture might have sold and was being used by Yahoo, but that he wasn't paid anything for it. The reason for posting that link as it was the concern I raised in my original post in that thread of pictures possibly selling at times and where they don't register as a contributor sale because of a system error. Also, that discussion did not have anything to do with exclusivity. I hope that helps clarify better.

Thanks Jsnover for that additional background info. That is helpful. It seems alot of people do use E+ so it would be helpful for them to improve navigation a bit on adding files to E+. Let's hope some changes are still maybe forthcoming.

Yet another reason I gave up the crown.  That interface was beyond horrible.  Many promises in the Exclusive
forum that the interface would be changed, but of course it never happened.
