Stock Submitter Help or Tutorials?

(1/1)

Biggles:
Have been poking around with Stock Submitter, just trying to understand it (I don't have any agency logins yet).

There's a lot I don't really understand about this software. For example "buffer"? "TR Quickmeta"? Heck is that? Why are there TWO (2) sections with "title" and "description" etc. Which one am I supposed to fill in?

If I click the gray "Agency categories" button I get a pop-up that doesn't respond to anything apart from "OK" and "Cancel"?

Tried looking in the help file and got "Help file not found".

Is this like an unfinished beta or something I'm doing wrong or...?

Anyone recommend any solid tutorials or anything? I don't want to just Google or get sucked into the depths of Youtube, as I know that'll just waste hours. I've done that kind of thing before  ;D

Buffer (or a template) is a way to store a full set (or a part of it) of image metadata to copy (or add) to other images later.
So the whole bottom panel with the same fields is that buffer (or the current active template). You can minimize it if you don't need it clicking the button in the top right corner of it.

TR QuickMeta is basically the same thing as the normal QuickMeta, but it is using some default parameters to make it completely transparent and automatic at the cost of reducing the quality of the results.

Agency categories - since you didn't set up any agency there is nothing to show there, hence the empty window.

The program is far from the beta, but it lacks manuals, that's true (but we're working on it). We were focusing on the program itself instead of manuals before, hence the lack of them.

OK, it makes more sense now, thanks  ;D
