- Now I can see combined files tnx.
- Double click working, confirmed.
- Yes filesets not categories. I am not shure when but I will find out and inform you about that.

I am just giving you some suggestions what I would like to see as user.
Maybe you could implement that user can choose files per category photo/video/illustration/audio
Take a look at iStockRoyalties to find idea how to calculate estimates.

Thanks for the tip. I will check iStockRoyalties.
Filtering by file type is on my list and will be implemented soon.

Just a "dumb" question  ;D :

How number of files analyzed limit are calculated?

In actual five agency's, only one are almost 300 files ( other around 200~250 ), but it's possible have more 500 different files over they, but surely have much files without any sale.

Need to go "pro", but for now don't justify get an license thta overpass my needs.

Program groups identical files uploaded on different sites together. 500 limit is set for such groups. So if you have 200-300 identical files on stocks it is still less then free version limit. But if files are different, then it can be over 500 already and it will display first 500 sorted by upload date.

Today released Microstock Analytics 1.5.1
- Update for 123RF that fixes errors. During update program may ask to enter code by picture (similar to Shutterstock)
- Configurable thread count for update. For slow internet connections (512 Kbit) optimal value should be around 5 threads. For 16 Mbit and up increasing to 100 threads should speedup initial updates.
- Support for updated GI Sale page in iStockphoto
- Feature to show bestselling files that were not yet uploaded to all sites (or didn't pass inspection). Activated using Sort By drop down in upper right corner. For example, if you select Shutterstock upload, it will display only files that were not uploaded to Shutterstock and sort them by average monthly revenue.

Thanks for the reply. Will think about it. Dunno if it's better start with a 3 month sub and then decide which pro will do better.

Nice tool although a little way from 500 files at the moment.  There is a little bug I think - DT and FT upload need to be reversed

If you see any errors, please use built-in function to send error report. Also please try to force full update for FT and DT in preferences. Let me know if you still have any errors.

Sorry Andrey - can't see an option for logging a problem - it's not actually * an error of any sort.  What's happening is if you select the DT Upload sort option it is showing files not uploaded to FT and the FT Upload is showing files not uploaded to DT.  BTW these are excellent options for those who haven't really tracked what is uploaded where although, in some cases, upload canditates may already be on the site as the connection between the same file on all sites hasn't been made.

Overall, looks like a very useful tool, hope it does very well for you.

Hi Mike, thanks for detailed description. Seem like text in the list appears in wrong order. Will fix this for new version.

Yes, it does quite well. Already got more than 300 users and number is growing every day. I would like say thanks to everyone for valuable feedback and support. I'm preparing some new very cool features for the new release. Stay tuned :)

I have a question : When we delete/disable an image from a stock site does the image stay forever in Microstock Analytics database?

Grigor, this depends on the site. On iStockphoto it should disappear from the list of files. On other sites it still will be in database. Right now only way is to delete the database and fetch statistics again. In future it would be good idea to hide deleted pictures on other sites as well. But I don't know if this wold be desired behavior for most of the users.

Thanks for the tip! Maybe you can add 'hide deleted photos' as an option so that everyone can choose whether to see them or hide them.

Wow, thanks for adding 123RF!  ;D
I have a question: if I have 800 files on each site can I use the pro account or should I update to a higher one?

« Reply #41 on: October 19, 2011, 04:05 »

Pro 1000 will be enough for up to 1000 files on each site.

Thanks for your answer.
Another question: everytime I start MA the login and password fields of all sites are blank. Login is already filled only for Dreamtime and Fotolia. Is there a way to save those data?

Do you use save password option on startup or you enter login/password to www.microstockanalytics.com manually every time?

There was a database compatibility problem in this version. Please update to the newest:
www.microstockanalytics.com/MicrostockAnalyticsSetup1.5.exe
This should solve it.

I've updated to version 1.5.4, filled the login and password fields (of the sites),  checked "force full update" to all, waited for the update and closed MA. When I've reopened it I was asked to enter my account info, and then alla the sites field were blank again.

Until version 1.5.3, the program keep app and sites logins. With 1.5.4 All gone, only DT and FT Login name appear without possibility to change it.

Just bought the unlimited version. It doesn't seem to work right. After it fetched all my data which took some time, when I closed the program and entered again it was all gone. Have to fetch everytime all data again. Also when I created Filesets if it was one it was ok. As soon as I created 3...when I moved through them everything was messy, some was not showing any file at all, another one showed files I didn't add. Hope you can help about that.

Thanks

Cristian
