Any change their webmasters do can affect the delivery

Is there some way of seeing which sites my image made it up to, without having to click all the way down the channels list ?

LightBurner is great when things work, but now and then some channels are broken for reasons beyond control such as changes on sites.

Suggestions to David:
1. Why not setting a custom FTP channel automatically for every default channel, and switching to custom mode automatically if direct delivery fails?
2. Why not sending an email if something goes wrong?

Thanks

"Update" and "Delete" buttons work for the custom channels you define, allowing you to change FTP server or port for the selected channel. Naturally, you can not do that for pre-integrated channels e.g. iStock. For iStock & Co, simply select a channel, enter your user credentials at right and press "Save" button.

But how do remove them from your list of channels if you can't  'Save, Delete or Update' your sign-in information ??

I don't want them to show in my list !?

there is a Deactivate box !  but it's greyed out until you have set up the channel, which we can't do !?

Also David can we NOT have to sign back in every few minutes ?   1 day would be fine !? 

Is this only for JPG image or do you accept also EPS submission?

Thanks!! Looks a pretty cool endeavor

David, I'm trying out the tool for the first time. It looks very promising! Thanks for putting it together. I do have an issue however. I can't seem to set up the channels for Fotolia and Cutcaster. The tool is telling me that my credentials are incorrect, but they aren't! Is there a workaround? Thanks in advance

Thanks David, I'll try the FTP channels!

I've created one for Fotolia FTP, but it does not seem to get through to Fotolia. I thought I saw an earlier response that said that Fotolia was blocking files from Lightburner?

Anyway, this is how you do it. Go to Channels in top right corner. Then in the pop up, select "New" and you will see another popup. Enter a name for the channel - ie Fotolia FTP, enter the FTP site location, leave the port as it is, and generally leave the folder blank. There are some sites that require a particular folder for your images. Click on "Add." That is half of the work completed!

Now find your new channel in the list and click on its name. Now you can enter your user name and password for the FTP site. Often this is the same one as you use to log into the stock site, but not always. You would have been provided with this when the FTP account was set up with Fotolia. You have access to preferences here to resize an image before sending. Once you are finished, click "save" and it should change color in the list to green.

That's all there is to it - I'd be interested to see if it works for you.

Yes - it is submit.fotolia.com. The user name and password is obviously unique per user, but I am pretty sure it is different to the one you log onto the site with as well.

Hi David,  Can you tell me if you plan to add channels for StockFresh and Photodune?

Het can't do that yet for PD since you have to feed them different batches composed out of images of the same model(s), then send the release to a different FTP folder. He'll have to wait till PD has a release library and you can attach releases online as part of the submit process.

Hi all,
I invite you to try the new PSM 2.0 Beta for Windows, which works exclusively with your Lightburner account.
Please make sure you read release notes at http://prostockmaster.com/microstock/prostockmaster2-for-windows-beta/ and do not forget to make a copy of your JPGs before applying any metadata change to them. Though if you work in RAW in Adobe LR/PS and can generate JPGs anytime you should not worry.

I think lightburner is not working currently. Btw. keyword suggestion tool in lightburner does'nt work , Also in ProStockMaster 2.0.1. there is a problem when i want to use suggest keyword and enter more than one keyword, always error. Why is that? in older versions i have used key phrases with no problem. Now in 2.0.1. version it seem this is not possible. It is strange that he cant suggest kewords for example "celsus library".

Since 3 days Lightburner is only distributing to default channels. Custom FTP channels are not working.

Yep - I have the same problem.  Channels that previously distributed without any problem are now no longer working.  On  my channels (StockCube) these are 'New Fotolia', Deposit photos, Stockfresh and Photodune.  They haven't worked since the start of the year.
