There's a new bugfix release available. It should have reached you via auto update. Now importing/exporting of files takes literaly 10 times less time than before.

And this works with all agencies?

Automatic submission works with all fully supported agencies. There are more than 20 fully supported agencies at the moment.

First of all, please, stop advertising StockSubmitter so extensively with kind of "answering" my questions It's good, I don't argue, but keep this ads for your website, please.

Regarding other stuff.
You phrase "Since it's writtein in C++, it will be ported to Linux later" is very bogus. Writing software in C++ does not guarantee anything. Visual frameworks (except Qt, wxWidgets, etc.) for OS X and Linux'es are very different and even if it's not so important (I mean StockSubmitter for Linux) I don't want you to fool people in this thread.

StockSubmitter is by now kind of stable and reliable software, which does very well what it does, but it looks and feels like a monster or Crishna with 1000 hands. It's not as user-friendly as it could have been, but I think a good redesign will not be that big problem.

All I wanted to say, that it exists several years, while Xpiks was developed only in free time (think of it as an hour a day) for about a year. But now things will change soon, as I will have more dedicated time and I will belive in power of Open Source community. Together people can more. Hopefully.

And this works with all agencies?
I found Xpiks sounds nice and its free i will give it a try!

Xpiks works with all agencies, which support FTP

New release of Xpiks is available! Xpiks 1.1 brings to you spell checking, auto updates and a lot of small improvements! Download release here http://ribtoks.github.io/xpiks/downloads/

Don't forget to support Xpiks with sharing and promoting Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Xpiks-748703535265682/

Major features of this release:

• Automatic spell checking and suggestion for all metadata
• Automatic checking for updates
• Added plain text mode for keywords editing
• Speed improvements with large collections
• Editing of separate keywords
• Improvements for UI of some popups on large monitors
• Improvements on keywords pasting
• Exact search terms parsing (with exclamation mark before word like �!man�)

Nice tool, however the keyword tool only adds keywords and no titles or descriptions from the image(s) chosen. That�s definitely an advante of Stocksubmitter - so please keep on working on the Mac version! :-)

Hey, you mean the Keywords Suggestion tool?

Can you use this application to 'stamp' metadata like title, description and keywords back into the exif/iptc fields of the image itself? When I save the image from within Xpiks it puts a .xpks file next to it - presumably this is some kind of sidecar file that contains the metadata I added?

Hi

.xpks file is just the backup. Title, description and keywords are written to the exif/iptc fields of the image itself. Backup is useful if you made some edits and then somehow exited the program without saving or blackout or etc. Afterwards you can restore everything from the backup.

You can always turn off/on creation of the backups in Settings ->  Behavior -> Create backups for items
