It happens just once a week, not so many times.
It can save you a lot of headache if the program gets terminated incorrectly and the configuration will be reset.

I think it would be enough to remind me less often. Site configurations are something what i change maybe 2 times a year

It's not about site configurations (restoring them is not really a problem usually).
It's about other data (database of uploaded images paths for submitting them, releases database, balance history). Losing all of it will most likely be a disaster.

I see
Can not it be automated?  Like I give the path once, and it always save there after that without any windows coming up

I would recommend to have multiple backups, not just the latest one. In case one of the backups will be corrupted or something nasty like power cut will happen during writing the backup.
Besides, creating a backup takes significant time so if the program will just do it silently upon startup some users may think it hanged.

I have no problem creating a backup every week or so, but I get the popup every single time (i.e. every day) on startup, even after making a backup yesterday.

What about automatically creating a backup (like an autosave, say five backup files, and then repeatedly overwriting the oldest ones)? The program could say 'Creating backup' at the splash window.
Or at least giving users the option 'Don't show this again'? I understand it's important to backup image data (although power cuts and freezes don't happen often). But this popup window is getting annoying like a spam mail or cookie wall.

When I first asked about backups , this is what  I got:

All of my files are stored on a network NAS which is 24/7 on with hybrid RAID + there are 2 local backups to computers on network. Furthermore my NAS is synchronized with backblaze so a cloud backup of FILES THEMSELVES is created. But I click on "no I dont want to backup data" at the startup of the program. Backing up files themselves is I suppose sufficient? If statuses of images by agencies are stored in files themselves then all is good. (video has a seperate file, i know).

Cheers,

I have a small feature suggestion:

Above the sites list there are the boxes to tick all sites at once for uploading or submitting. For the upload column there could be one more tickbox which only engages for upload all the site where Stocksubmitter can handle the submission too

@Noedelhap

Are you sure you're creating a backup successfully in response to that backup suggestion dialog?
Because if you do so it definitely shouldn't ask about it for a week.

@nd3000

Statuses are indeed stored in the images themselves.
However, there is other important information that you would want backed up I think. Please read my post above about that.

@Desintegrator

I will consider it for inclusion in the future updates, thanks.

Also there is a bigger issue where some warning window or something would be needed
There is this button labelled "RT QuickMeta". I have no idea what does it do or how to use it, but sometimes i click it accidentally and then all my work in the selected file's metadata gets totally messed up. So much that i have to start from scratch. Is it's very annoying.. sometimes there is a lot of thought in properly keywording a file, then all the work disappears without any warning.

There should be a warning window coming up with that button. Even better an option to hide that button, and make it the default setting. It even took me a few occasions of just wondering what had happened to my metadata until i realized that it's triggered by clicking a wrong button.

+ Dates when the file was uploaded and/or submitted are now displayed in the upload bar.

+ Backup functionality has been improved to solve common problems.

+ Advanced keywords editor received a number of enhancements:

1. You can now turn off the error messages when trying to add a duplicate keyword.
2. When you try to insert a duplicate keyword into the beginning of the list the original keyword will be moved there instead.
3. Newly added keywords and keywords moved according to (2) are now highlighted.
4. Added a button to convert all keywords to lower case. Duplicates are automatically removed after the conversion.
5. Added a button to split multi-word keywords into words. Duplicates are automatically removed after splitting.

+ You can now see the created date from the EXIF in the tooltip to images.

+ The program will now remember any path once specified in a "lost files" dialog and use it automatically for the consequent searches.

+ Added an option to change font size in the metadata fields.

+ QuickMeta window is now remembering its position and size if changed.

+ Fixed an issue with incorrect status bar updating if metadata is changed outside of the program.

Software does not submit images to Alamy that passed QC. It looks like stocksubmitter does not detect any unfinished files. This issue last for a week or so.

Btw. congratulations for your good work.

It can happen if the QC took too long time because their website doesn't return files that were uploaded too long ago.
You could try re-uploading them or submitting manually.

Haven't tried that.
But I do get a login screen popping up sometimes, which brings me to the general Adobe Stock front page. When I navigate to the Sign in page and enter my credentials, nothing happens.

Probably it asks you to authenticate with Fotolia, so you need to close that adobestock suggestion popup and sign in to fotolia directly (there should be a link to do that).;

+ New Feature: Automatically solving captcha on our servers.

You won't have to solve annoying captcha anymore: our server will solve it automatically.
Besides that, with this option enabled we now support two-factor authentication on AdobeStock (the program will ask you to enter the code from SMS) and authenticating with a code from email on Envato agencies (the program will ask you to enter the code).
The built-in browser will never appear if you have this option enabled, all of the authentication processes will happen automatically.

+ New Feature: Keeping the releases database on our servers.

If you are using multiple computers or outsource the keywording to hired employees - the program will automatically synchronize your releases database between all the computers you're using (you will need to enable the option on every computer) - you won't have to transfer the releases database manually.
If you will lose your releases database (dead hard disk, corrupted database due to incorrect PC shutdown, etc.) - the program will automatically download the releases from our servers on the next launch.

Your local releases database will be kept up to date so you will be able to disable the option at any time without losing any latest changes to your releases.

===

Both of the features can be enabled in settings ("Features" tab).

What are the discounts/ old prices? I can't remember what the price was before, is the discount already included in the prices displayed on the website or are they pre-discount prices? Where in the dashboard please?

You can use it to get a discount when purchasing any package.
Code has no expiration date, you can use it whenever you want.

IMPORTANT: Submitting FullHD versions of 4K videos to VideoHive

Latest versions of Mac OS X have stopped working correctly with videos encoded to PhotoJPEG with a non-Apple codec. Because of that, Envato has stopped accepting videos, downsized to FullHD in StockSubmitter.
We've replaced the downsizing codec with x264 in the new program update. So if you're submitted videos automatically downsized from 4K to FullHD to VideoHive - please update the program.
