Title: Stock Submitter word counting bugs on Mac Version
Post by: abzerit on June 28, 2017, 11:56

Hi,

First off, great software!  This will save me a lot of time, so I'm excited. I'm on the Mac version and I noticed a few minor bugs.

The keyword counting for Dreamstime is off by 3 words. I would have to manually add three more keywords to my existing 10 keywords to get rid of the error. I also noticed that, at least for BigStockPhoto, the word "a" is incorrectly ignored as part of the 7 word description minimum.

In any case, it would be nice if I could upload regardless of errors to get around incorrect error checking. A choice is given when to try to upload with errors, but nothing happens.

Thanks,
Ab

Probably your dreamstime keywords are either too short or multi-word (which are unsupported by DT).
And no, "a" is ignored correctly as Bigstock doesn't count it.

Thanks for answering my questions.

For Dreamstime, it was the multi-word that got me. On their site, they automatically break up the words, so I never noticed it.

For BigStockPhoto, unless they changed the requirements, "a" is counted as part of the minimum seven word description, as can be seen on one of my stock photos, https://www.bigstockphoto.com/image-125871563/stock-photo-common-whitetail-ii (https://www.bigstockphoto.com/image-125871563/stock-photo-common-whitetail-ii)

I've excluded it from the words counted towards the limit because I got reports from users who were unable to submit such files because Bigstock didn't let it.
