Existing users will be recommand to uninstall the old version, because the settings file will be saved at another location. Usernames and password must be re-entered again.

Minor changes / bug fixes
* If a keyword is already added, the same keyword can't be added again

Another update: BETA version 0.9.3

Stocktransmitter is a project that I started in the first lockdown period (in the Netherlands). My goal is to develop a simple upload application to upload photo's to multiple stock sites. Stocktransmitter is also for myself. I would like some feedback, so I have added a feedback form.

* The whole app has a new modern skin
* The feedback form
* Another faster implementation of loading images
* Alamy and Depositphoto's are added
* Edit tab, a button for copying the keyword list
* Only one instance of Stocktransmitter can be active
* Settings - sites tab
   * There is only one password field, click right to see the password
   * Every site has a 'Ads site to list' switch
   * Save is only enabled, is there something is changed

Small changes / bugfixes
* On the upload tab, if an site is not in use, the progressbar is invisible
* On the edit tab, if an image is in edit mode, no other selection can be made.
* Beter security for save passwords
* Code improvements

Tip
With an FTP server, you can set up a localhost server to test Stocktransmitter:
https://mina.apache.org/ftpserver-project/index.html

Configuring is simple:
https://mina.apache.org/ftpserver-project/running_ftpserver_standalone.html

Stocktransmitter uses the default port: 21
In Stocktransmitter you can create a new agency, with localhost as url

The Stocktransmitter website has been renewed

And will be expanded in the future

stocktransmitter · « **Reply #10 on:** March 26, 2022, 06:48 »

Time for a new update 0.9.6

Existing users must uninstall the old version before installing the new version
This is because the saved passwords of the agencies are more secure (and only saved on your local hard drive). Passwords need to be re-entered.

A other improvement is the version is that uploads are more stable (less timeout exceptions)

Other things:
* In the description or a title field of a image, with ctrl + k the last word can be added as keyword
* The keyword field has a button to clear all keywords
* Some icons are changed
* The green color (if an image has a title) is changed to the green color of the website
* Keywords are always added in lowercase

If you have any questions or comments, you can use the faadback form in the application or send me a message on this forum.
