Title: PhotoKore ftp issue
Post by: Beppe Grillo on April 05, 2013, 12:18
I have uploaded some images on PhotoKore, using ftp.
Once on the PK site none of the images have the title, the description and the keywords…
All have flown away……

not sure since I don't upload to them anymore-not worth it. I did make some type of tiger rank while there  ;)

I stopped uploading as well, no sales in nine months or so. My tiger is just a toothless stuffed animal it seems.

It happened to me too. :(

I decided that I will give this agency a try with my new photos, after a long time of not uploading to them.
(I already have there 85 online photos that I uploaded there sometime in 2011.)

Today, I uploaded there more, about 400 photos through FTP and all are missing titles!
Descriptions and keywords went trough just fine, but titles are lost and not read from IPTC!

Anyway, I am not willing to write those titles photo-by-photo again in their web upload application.
So I deleted what I uploaded today and will probably not upload there more.

I just don’t understand how can they have such error there?!
(That error completely discourages from further uploading.)

Doesn't SS do the same thing?

At ShutterStock it is different. There are no titles at ShutterStock at all.
Only descriptions (called captions, but it is the same) are there, so it is not important whether titles are read from IPTC or not.

But on Photokore titles are required otherwise photos cannot be submitted for review!
