Title: Questions with regards to Deepmeta
Post by: yuliang11 on February 28, 2013, 21:26

Hi ,
 I've decided to tried up Deepmeta. Everything seems alright with this software. I've completed a few photos and sent the relevant MR/info to istock with 0 errors. However all the of files seems to be in "process" status forever. Anything do I need to do before it goes "pending"  ?

thanks in advance.

Can you see the images on your "My Uploads" page on iStock?

hi, seems not. its still in "Unfinished Uploads" instead of the "my uploads". it still still in "progress" status in Deepmeta. These photos are actually uploaded using the website and keyworded using Deepmeta. Should I using Deepmeta for upload process too ?

Yes, you should use DeepMeta for everything except resubmits, which it can't do because the API does not include that functionality.

I'd recommend you start over - finish the uploads you have done via the website, then do a full fetch from DeepMeta (Ctrl+F5, or menu option iStockphoto/Fetch ALL data from iStockphoto).

In future, keyword, add MRs, etc. first within DeepMeta, then upload from the program.  You can make changes from DeepMeta too.

DeepMeta has a lot of possibilities (creating thumbnail links, sorting, searching...)
Did You read tutorial ?

As long as the images are uploaded to Istock, which you can easily check by going to Istock and checking your pending images, I delete the ones that say pending.  they will be in DM for eternity unless you delete them.

ok guys. it seems starting all over and sticking to Deepmeta would be a good advice.
