Heya Ivan  Have seen similar a few times, it's rare, but it happens. I assume it's just SS reviewers just changing their mind (maybe training a new staff member), or the system taking a while to catchup. SS operate a cache of most of the user stats (updated hourly I think), so having small changes like that isn't too unusual.

Hey all Have just setup a simple survey (10 questions) about the picNiche contributor toolbar. I really need your help to figure out where it's going next, what needs to be improved/fixed and added in future. It takes a lot of time to develop, and will always be free, so please please help me out If you use it, give me feedback http://bit.ly/pnToolSurvThanks

I havn't had chance to build the ability to submit updates yet (as I need to figure out a way to prevent malicious corrections), but you can either create a new poller and share that, which I'll set to replace the old one. Or send me the correction and I'll update directly in the database

it looks like AMO (addons.mozilla.org) is down. It happens occasionally, though I've made their people aware of it via irc (just in case they didn't know), should be up within an hour or so

Thanks very much for moving the picNiche topics to their own area. I'm hoping by gathering them together, I can deal with new issues asap and have a good reference for anyone experiencing old problems Cheers  Bob

You'll need to resave your bigstock login (as they've changed their url it's basically a new site now as far as the password manager is concerned). Open the picNiche options, click the blue hyperlink on the left to open the correct login page (for both bigstock and 123rf) then save your details to firefox. When you next open the picNiche options, both 'should' have the username in the dropdown. If so, enable them, and hit the refresh earnings button. If not, please PM me and we can try and figure out what's up

I'll PM you so as not to clog up 123RF's board

Just spotted this. Sorry for the delay 123RF has been a bit of a thorn in picNiche for a while for many people, though hopefully their latest changes will correct this. I've patched for their latest changes (as well as bigstock and dreamstime too) today and that should roll out as an autoupdate in the next few days when the mozilla people get it reviewed

Probably I have general rules of thumb for things where there isn't room in the interface for a specific button to a function. - Tooltips should be everywhere possible.
- Ctrl/Cmd is for extra functionality (ie: more control) The keyworder for example now limits the 'Copy to Clipboard' to only the first 50 keyword if you hold ctrl
- Shift is always for a change to the way that functionality works (ie: it's a shift in what it does).
- Ctrl-Shift is always destructive.
I always try and avoid using Alt as most OSes use it for something system-wide and it's position close to the space-bar makes it unnatural to reach (one of the main reasons I don't like my Macbook is because of the Cmd button placement). If you need to do something, and there isn't a button for it, try mousing over other buttons. If it's still not there, let me know and I'll add it

PHP has it built in (I think that's the stuff elvinstar is using). Pretty sure you need to turn it on in your php.ini though. It also only reads strict exif and some bit from the iptc standards. If you'd like to get more than that I'd suggest getting the adobe XMP dev kit. It's complicated as heck, but it's a good kit A 'correct' xmp output includes all 3 major standards, along with any other RDF inclusions. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/xmp/Maybe overkill, but thought i'd let you know

My better half has a weird squishy thing, like a bean bag but squishier. No idea what's in it, but very handy for putting a camera on

Aye it's not including the custom pollers in the total value on the refresh button yet, as I'll have to add into the preferences the ability to select which ones you'd like to include, and then validate that they are in fact numbers You can disable buttons on the toolbar by using the checkbox for the custom poller entry, or if you'd like to remove it completely: Ctrl-Shift click (Cmd-Shift on mac) on the Edit button for that poll.

http://depositphotos.com/favicon.icofavicons are almost always domain.com/favicon.ico or .png or .gif For everything else, there's "View Source" Usually "View"/"Page Source" in firefox, ir CTRL-U All you need after that is to choose a login page, an open page, and the tricky bit: write the regex

I've been toying with the idea of making a few screencasts about the picNiche stuff, and creating a poller would be a great subject. Sadly I don't have the time to do them yet (at least not to do them well) I'm hoping someone will jump in and make a detailed post or blog entry about it once it's established a bit, in the meantime I will have to wait and see what you guys and gals can come up with

Aye, the samples I've put up are not exhaustive, as I've only been on Veer a month or so (Yay for two years but still no sales ) I haven't made enough sales for payout for example so can't create pollers as solid as the 'authneticated' pollers. That's why I've opened it up to this model where anyone can create their own and share them, or if you know people at the agencies, ask them to create one

Thanks Stu I've found the problem with picNiche and iSyndica addons interfering with each other (which one breaks depends on which loads first). I'll say for the record that their addon needs to be namespaced (as it's probably causing problems with a lot of addons). I've made Hugo aware of this as I don't have Seb's details, and they will probably fix in the next version too. I will however modify the picNiche toolbars in the next version to workaround the problems (should be online sometime monday/tuesday, I will post a link here soon as it is Still trying to identify the problem with Split Browser, but will sort that this weekend too Thanks very much for the info

Thanks for that Bob !
Had worked out most of it, but you've just expounded on what I knew. Couldn't find any help for this anywhere !?
Just as an aside, had problems with PicNiche yesterday and when I removed an add-on for screen splitting, I suddenly got several notifications ! I also happen to know it interferes with the iSyndica add-on too !
The descriptions popup on mouseover of the field header I'm a big fan of mouseovers, if there's anything in picNiche which isn't obvious, try holding your mouse over it It 'should not' interfere with any other addons as it's all namespaced well, but will definetly investigate. Which screen splitting addon was it, was it Split Browser? I don't run the isyndica addon myself, but will give it a go and try to find what might be causing the problem.

Phrase L T Count Views Sales V/F D/F Rating
boat GB 1.00 94037 142881 21858 1.52 0.23 0.35
FT SS IS BS DT- GI
I think L=country, V/F=views/photo, D/F=downloads/photo. It seems to be derived from another language, could be German.
I don't know for T and how the Rating is calculated. I think it gives a measure for how effective a keyword is or so....
That's pretty much it L = Language (GB = British English, US = American English, FR = French etc T = Typability (if it's a long phrase it's less 'typable') V/F = Views per File (as it counts both vectors and photos), this is effectively the search-visibility rating D/F = Downloads per File, this is the 'conversion' rating. The final rating is a product of the visibility and conversion. And yep, the number to the left (on the refresh button) on the toolbar is the total sales for all tracked sites. Hope that helps, sorry about the delay, found this whilst googling Bob

Heya Simsi The 1.0.29 update ensures that only the https protocol can be used when logging into dreamstime (they recently changed their site preventing standard http login for expired (or non-existent) sessions (this is why it's working for some but not for others. To save the details for the correct protocol (https), save your login to firefox when logging into DT using the page opened by the blue Dreamstime link in the picNiche preferences panel (Tools/picNicheTools/Options). The same should work for 123RF too, though their unusual subdomain and protocol configuration sometimes gets the firefox password manager confused. Please let me know if it's still not working after saving your details at those pages Thanks Bob
