+ Added balance support for Alamy and GraphicRiver.
StockSubmitter developer.

Niakris

Launched alpha-version of new Statistics feature.
It is available in menu: Tools -> Statistics

Charts are shown in browser like that:



Earnings data has to be sent to program server to display charts, so StockSubmitter will ask permission to do that when you open Statistics.
This data will not be used in any other way and will be removed after displaying charts.
Do not permit this operation and launch Statistics if you don't trust the program.

Data collection is started in one of the last updates so charts can show only 2-4 last days yet.
More often you launch the program (or keep it running) - more detailed charts will be. The statistics is being built basing on balance updates (shown to you by the program in the balloons).
Statistics will be interpolated if there is not enough data.

There can be bugs/problems since this is alpha release of the feature. Do not hesitate to contact me using Skype (landofrain) or these forums.
There is no design yet, only the charts.

I want to ask on Alamy autosubmitting. Leaf has asked it before. It does not work also for me - program tries but nothing happens.

It would be great to add to "submit parameters" all the attributes that must be filled in order image is for sale (how many people on image, if there is property release, if the image is altered, license type ...). And it would be great that program fills the essential keywords automatically from the  first keywords up to the limit of 50 characters.
Submitting to Alamy is one of the worst so it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Niakris

Please message me in Skype so we can troubleshoot your Alamy submit.

This feature is already in the program.

Just used Stock Submitter for 1st time in quite a while as I'm away from home, and I have to say it's working pretty well !  Keep up the good work !! :)

Couple of small problems to report though :

1)  Uploads to DT but does NOT Submit !!  (waited for 24hrs)

2) Uploads AND Submits to SS but does not change icon in Stock Submitter !?  stays as Uploaded only !

Are you sure you didn't rename/move/remove files after upload?
And didn't you check "Upload only" checkbox in DT settings in SS?

Quote2) Uploads AND Submits to SS but does not change icon in Stock Submitter !?  stays as Uploaded only !

It is known problem which is hard to fix. We'll do it eventually though.

In the latest update:
+ Fixed attaching model releases to images for Fotolia

Dreamstime support is updated

SS is adding an extra Keyword to every image when uploading to Dreamstime !!

This is causing mass rejections !!  I'm having to resubmit the lot ! :(

Looks fine in SS window though  ???

It is possible only if files never get submitted by StockSubmitter.
If you submit them manually you should remove that keyword.
Or just let StockSubmitter submit files automatically, it will remove this keyword during submit process.

Updated GraphicRiver support
StockSubmitter developer.

Stu49

It did submit automatically !  and that keyword was present and caused rejection !!

Which is why I had to resubmit manually !  Now always submitting manually, until problem solved ;)

I noticed that on some images submitted to Fotolia.  Fotolia listed that keyword in the exif

Stu49

Just checked Fotolia and Yes !!  you're right !  but not causing a rejection ;)

Is it an End Of Transmission string ??

Referrals :     Wirestock       YayImages

Niakris

No, this keyword is used to find matching file on your hard drive to submit it.
Fotolia lists all keywords from originally uploaded image in IPTC Information section regardless of what meta was supplied during submit. But this section is for your information only, it does not affect approval nor is visible to buyers.
The issue you reported with DT is weird though, it should never happen under normal circumstances.
Mind writing to my skype? I'll need some additional information.
StockSubmitter developer.

Stu49

I'll upload again in a day or two to DT to see if it's still doing it.  What about fotolia ??  should that string not be visible there then ?

Do I have your skype addy ??

Niakris

On Fotolia this string is only visible to you, and is not visible to your buyers nor affect the approval.

Bigstock's submitting process seems screwed. It uploads the file, but without the data, and submitting doesn't work.

Edit: never mind, HTTP works fine :)

Niakris

+ Added support of submitting photos to Pond5
+ Updated support of submitting videos to Pond5

Tested, and it work perfectly.

Just a question, the program set a random price or I can set a rule?
