KNOWNBUGS & LIMITATIONS
all reported bugs, yet to be fixed. Last update: February 10th 2009
  • B3. Image Details cancel button
    • Windows version: When clicking the Cancel button on the Image details dialog, DeepMeta will ask if you are sure, even when you've changed nothing.
  • B10. Editing a file while it's uploading
    • theasis: I added a new image to DM, added it to the queue and started the upload to iStock. Whilst it was still uploading, I thought of another keyword that should go with the image. In the past I've always waited till the upload was complete, but this time I thought I'd just see what happens. When the upload is complete the image has the extra keyword in DM, but the 'Changed' flag was cleared when the upload finished, the extra keyword wasn't sent to iStock. So pressing F6 doesn't cause the new keyword to be sent, and a right-click Fetch would lose the keyword from DM. This is, of course, really easy to work around. Either right-click Send when the upload is done; or better, don't be so daft as to edit an image that is uploading. But it would be nice if DM kept the Changed flag if I edit whilst uploading, or if it prevented me from editing, or if it warned me that the image I'm editing is uploading and things might get out of sync.
    • Franky: You are correct of course: what happens is that at the start of the upload, all image data is compiled in a request which is sent to iStock. Any changes after the upload has started will no longer affect the upload itself. But indeed, the file should be (remain) marked as "changed". I'll correct this.
  • B11. Bad link to original file on disk
    • theasis: A minor bug in the link to the original image file in the Images tab. The link is of the form <a href="F%3a%5cblahblahblah... If I click on the link, nothing happens. If I right click and chose "Open in a new window" it tries to open "about:blankF%31%5cblahblahblah". I guess it's taking the path to be a relative URL and that would be fixed by making the link point to e.g. "file:///F:/blahblahblah" instead.
  • B18.
    • lucato: I've sent 10 images to 'Upload Queue' and now while uploading them, I've added more 10 new images and added keywords, and etc. From the Images tab I've selected these new 10 images and right-click to select 'Move to Upload Queue'. So, these new 10 files now got the status as 'QueuedForUpload', but they aren't showing up at iStockphoto tab. Only the previous 10 images keep showing and uploading at iStock tab and it should show 20 files. Now, I will wait to finish these 10 firts uploads to see if the other 10 files will show up without needing to close and open again DM. I'll report the results when it finishes. Franky, the results were after finishing the 10 firts uploads: The second group of 10 files that were whit the status 'QueuedForUpload' showed up in the 'Upload Queue' list, but they didn't continue to be uploaded as they should. I had to click again on START UPLOAD button. So, IMHO it should work this way: Even while uploading images that are already in the 'Upload Queue', when I select a new group of files and right-click to select 'Move to Upload Queue' from the Images Tab, they shoud right away show into the Upload Queue and stay in the line and DM would keep uploading them until gets empty the Upload Queue, without needing to hit Start upload.
  • B19. Targeted warning message for Uploads also show when pausing uploads
    • lucato: Not a big deal, but when I hit "Pause" uploads, it shows the warning pop-up (Franky/iStock server info). IMHO, it should only show this pop-up when we hit the button with the status "Start uploads".
  • B20.
