Downloaded the newest version and it looks like a big overhaul, but very, very slow and the interface takes longer.

Any other users?

Yes, 3.12.4 and then 3.12.5 did not resolve anything

The keywording is the main slowdown.

Thanks!

Yes, keywording is slow but still faster than me, when I am 'disambiguating' files one by one.
Thank you for good work Frank.
Maybe you could work for Adobe too? Their programmers need help.

The worst update ever !!!! 
How can i go back to a previous version ?

If you'd rather not wait, you can uninstall DeepMeta and re-install the previous release v3.12.1. Here's the download link for DeepMeta - Windows v3.12.1 https://deepmeta.blob.core.windows.net/downloads/DeepMetaWin-3.12.1.zip

and DeepMeta - Mac v3.12.1.    https://deepmeta.blob.core.windows.net/downloads/DeepMetaMac-3.12.1.zip

hope this helps 

One minor irritation I find is that when I am processing (keywording etc) a batch and I want to send up SOME but not all all then, I seem to remember that previously only those that were ready to upload became available to upload. Not they all appear there and I have to click and move them across in lumps, avoiding ones being held back for one reason or another.... If you understand me.....
Also, a query please. How long after IS tells me a new keyword has been added, does it actually start to appear as an option in DM? Sometimes seems ages......
Ta.

I know what you mean!

It goes like this: the left hand upload list used to show only items that were ready to upload.
When moving from iStock to Getty ESP, a DeepMeta update accidentally started showing all non-uploaded files in that list.
I noticed this only way later and mentioned this in the forum.

Apparently, some users had started using this as a "feature", and mostly managed their files this way in the Upload section instead of the Files section

From old and very recent experience, I know that changes and especially taking away something is not well received.

So there we are...

I'm considering to add a few mode buttons above the left hand Upload list to allow users to filter the files they want.
A good compromise, I think.

I use mac. And the latest version of DeepMeta ist getting me nervous when editing photos.
Wenn i edit keywords there are accepted keywords and keywords suggestions.
The Keyword suggestions on the right are jumping in the first row when i close a suggestion at the bottom.
I don't know if this behavior has been before. But it never has been so annoying.
Also i don't need the model release window next to the keyword suggestions. Since i don't shoot models. But i can't turn it off. This is making me crazy.
It has always been so fine using DeepMeta. I cant use the ESP Side at Getty because the usability is awful. Its making me crazy.
But now the usability of DeepMeta seems to get closer to Getty.
Getty is the worst side to upload images. DeepMeta was the only comfortable way to upload to Getty.

I fully understand your frustration, and apologize for the current situation.
The jarring UI in the latest Mac version is my fault and the new version that fixes the "jumpy" keywording behavior is almost ready.

About the Release section at the right. It's a change that is actually good for users like you who never use model releases.
In previous versions, the releases were taking up precious space under the standard edit fields at the left (Getty users have a lot more fields than iStock users, sometimes up to 25!), so I was getting complaints about releases taking up space there.

You can already drag the vertical separator between keyword and release section all the way to the right, so that it doesn't bother you.
I'm planning a setting to completely hide the keyword list all together. The end result should be better for you than the old version.
The current release is a bit of a transition, and I'm sorry for the rough edges.

Thank you very much for taking the time to explain all your gripes. I take these very seriously and this kind of info is extremely helpful.

Thank you Franky, DM is working well again on mac with the last update 

I just updated it and it works like charm. Thanks for it. 

I still wish that there were two buttons introduced in "to Edit" page.
1- a "Add All" button on "please refine.. (keywords)" area so that we can add the keywords in one click.
2- a "Next" navigation button to move forward to the next image to edit. Currently we need to close the window and open the next "to edit" image. Current process is little time consuming.

How long does it take after IS add a word to their vocabulary for it to appear in DM please?

Franky, I have one suggestion.
When adding keywords to selected, multi, files it will be great to have 2 options:
- add keywords to all selected images - existing solution
- add keywords only images where the keyword was present - new option. For example if 'background' is present in all selected images this word will be added. But 'yellow' and 'red' which are in 2 individual images will be added only once.
Thanks.

I got a similar question/suggestion on a different forum.
It makes a lot of sense.
The current system is great if you're manually adding keywords. In that case, you likely expect the keywords you enter + disambiguate to be added to all selected images.

However, in workflows like you probably have, where keywords are already in the IPTC data, you just want to disambiguate.
It would really speed things up if you could select all files that you added, and go through the right hand list to "bulk" disambiguate, but respecting which files had the keyword and which did not.

I guess that's what you mean, right?

I won't/can't change the default behavior, but could add the functionality with e.g. Ctrl-click or similar.
