Awful. Yet another change for the sake of pissing off contributors.

My number one complaint is that the text in the description transfers to the keywords and number two was that it defaults to RF. Before, if I had a batch of editorials, I could click the correct button and it would stay where I want until I change it. I don't have time to go through the keywords AND make sure their AI clicks the correct categories.

I sent a cranky eMail - here's the reply:

90% of the uploads to Dreamstime are Commercial RF so it makes sense to have that as the default; you simply click on Editorial if the image is Editorial.  When in Unfinished Files, simply turn off �Autofill keywords� and no keywords will be added from the title and description of the image.

i never checked editorial since DT automatically moves them to editorial if it decides they are - that's much better since each agency  as different rules - eg SS rejects if there are people in the far bkgd, while AS often accepts those.

They never implemented a system to assign releases to multiple files in a group. Never! And we've certainly all asked them a million times.

Of course a nerd has a chance, but as a nerd he or she quickly realizes that this is hogwash: the release must already be there and it must be referenced with an INTERNAL Dreamstime code, not with its own file name.

The simplest thing would be simply to use OUR filename and that if the release is loaded multiple times with a fingerprint-like code check (hash md5, crc, sha ... any one) you consider that it already exists and ignore it, without blocking the workflow.

But let's drop something like this: now on the main page you can copy data. But ALL of it! Obviously you will want to copy a selection of it. Is this possible? Of course! only from ONE file to ANOTHER file. Not from one to many.

The most obvious and stupid thing that everyone would like to do, which is to set one or more MR or PR releases to multiple files ... cannot be done even though we have been asking them to do it for TEN HELL OF YEARS.

Otherwise everything is beautiful.

Can anyone show a screenshot? For me the submission page already changed like 3 months ago - Actually it already did over a year ago, but then was changed back to the old one a few days later - and I just want to know whether we are talking about the same thing or whether there is yet another update.
If it's the same: I got used to it pretty quickly. The only thing that annoys me is that when you go through each image one by one it always sorts newest to oldest, so I have to go back to the submission overview and select the oldest instead of the newest. Maybe that's just me, because I am kind of peculiar about the order in which I upload images.

I like the changes, especially choosing categories is much easier.

Nothing has changed! This is only a make up... same code, new look.

I have 3000+ files just sitting there in the "Unfinished Files" for a long time. I have no desire nor time to edit them one by one in the slowest submission procedure among all stock agencies.

What's new is they did send an email two days ago:
"...It's been a while since your last upload and designers looking at your portfolio want to see more.
Ready to resume uploads and get more sales?..."

Sorry, no bulk edit - no new uploads. 

no problems - basically same process, new layout. submitting taking < 2 sec.  only changes needed are for ai content

It's fine. They also fixed an issue with additional formats failing to upload, which is nice.

There was a problem? I've been doing that all along, ftp or online, what did I miss? Maybe those EPS uploads are just JPGs?

Well it's not working for me. I uploaded 10 images this morning and only 6 submitted. One wouldn't let me add missing categories, so I deleted it and tried again - same problem. The remaining 3 are in a loop of saying they've been submitted, but then turning up again as unsubmitted, and I've tried 3 times over. I've even deleted them and uploaded them again - same problem.

Seems that over the years, people have had similar issues, seems to be at random. Late last year the Unfinished files started showing up faster. Before that, I'd upload and go away and they could take up to an hour. Then refreshing the page started to make them show faster. Now I upload, and click and they are there, ready to be edited and submitted.

I don't know if it matters, my access or Firefox or if they fixed their system last Fall?

YES.  And your post was 2-3 weeks ago and DT still hasn't fixed the issue.

Is this a browser issue? I just uploaded some photos and then an EPS with a JPG and the system recognized it as an additional with the same name, I didn't have to do anything. All metadata was read properly. They auto entered the Category. All boxes were checked as they always are, no I don't wish to donate as free if something is rejected.

That's online upload not ftp, and using Firefox.

I used Safari like I always do.
