Title: Apostrophe in Keywords got Lost in Stock Submitter
Post by: sunflowerstock on March 19, 2015, 02:43

Hi Dmitri,

I am processing some photos that have the symbol apostrophe in them.

I have realized that once the JPG exif is read by Stock Submitter the apostrophe is lost.

I have tried to input manually the apostrophe in the "Keywords" space but the app automatically delete them.

Can you please fix this?

Thanks,

Tina

It does delete it because some agencies deal with it incorrectly (cutting keywords by apostrophe).
I'd strongly recommend to either not use such keywords or not put the apostrophe in keywords.

Niakris,

You are right but... only "some" agencies cannot handle them.

Fotolia and many others process this special characters correctly.

Perhaps you can remove the special characters (replace with "space" for example) only when submitting to the agencies that won't handle them?

Cheers,

Tina

I am not sure which agencies will allow them and which ones won't. I'm removing it upon entering into the field to ensure there won't be any problems during submission.
