- B2. Thumbnail fix
- lucato:
I got one image that is "Active" and its small thumbnail is that balloon with question mark instead of the original image thumbnail.
The large thumbnail is ok. When editing the image, the thumbnail in the edit window doesn't show. It shows as [x] (missing image).
Is there any way to update it without using full fetch?
Franky: Program could check for this and try to correct it. Sometimes a thumb download fails, but this should not result in unlimited lack of local thumbnail.
- B3. Image Details cancel button
-
When clicking the Cancel button on the Image details dialog, DeepMeta will ask if you are sure, even when you've changed nothing.
- B5. Keyword import garbling
- btrenkel:
I'm keywording the pics in Lightroom. So I import the keywords with the JPG. When I upload, I often get for the last 1-2 keywords 'garbage'.
Like 2 separate keywords are suddenly 'together'. Like 'redblue'. But the 'red' and the 'blue' would come through also correctly.
Something to do with 'choking' on keywords that contain spaces between words? Like 'looking down' for example.
- B7. Fix image preview pane to have exactly same dimensions as at iStock site
- Mlenny, Mlenny:
For the right-hand image preview pane, there should then be a setting to have the 'original istock website width'. eg. when i crosslink 4 images it looks like
the could fit in one row (depending on the individual size of the preview pane). after uploading then it could look 'not to good' as only 3 horizontal images fit
into the fixed html size at istock. so i think a setting of having the 'website' appearance would be great to have nearly a similar 1:1 look of the description.
This could be just an option to have the 'istock website' width of the description, but then you are close to have a real preview, otherwise you have to look
carefully where to put a CR after your crosslinks or lightboxes.
Update: On my vista computer the image preview pane is a tick to small i think... e.g. when i have 5 vertical images, seperated with "one space"
as crosslinks they fit in one row...in the DM 1.1 preview only 4 are in one row the 5th is on the next one (like i made an CR). nothing big,
but maybe the preview is slightly (a tick) to thin...
- 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.
- B12. Scrollbar in the Description field
- don_vladimir:
Sometimes a scrollbar comes up in the Description field.
- Franky:
Will try it out and maybe make the box bigger.
- B14.
- tirc83:
When I have a large number of files of upload, I find that I can only scroll down to the 60th or so image in the 'new images not in queue'
window and cannot access the lower ones because the vertical scroll bar is incomplete. This doesn't always happen but it does happen quite frequently.
I'm send you a screen dump by pm.
- B15.
- theasis:
Every once in a while I find that columns that I added to the main images tab have disappeared, and other columns that I removed have disappeared.
I noticed it when I first switched to the 1.2 beta version and just assumed I'd done something to cause it. It happened again maybe a week ago,
and I just noticed it again today. Unfortunately I've not found a way to trigger this. I'll certainly report it if I do.
- B16.
- theasis:
I just uploaded a single image which had to retry and then failed with "-32601 - server error. method not found."
I've not seen that error before, but I imagine it's just the weary API server feeling tired and getting confused.
What was interesting at the DM side was that the file went back to the "not in Queue" column, but also stayed in the "Upload Queue" column
with the progress bar ticking away. The screenshot shows the one image in two columns at once.
I waited 5 minutes just to be sure that it wasn't really still talking to istock, then I resent it and all was fine.

- B1. Foreign characters
- lucato:
DM doesn't accept accented vowels/consonants (á, é, í, õ, ü, ñ, ç) or other special characteres that are used in other languages such as Portuguese,
Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish, German, and etc. If I type in Portuguese "maçã" that means apple, DM gets it as "MA"-Massachusetts.
If I type "niño" in Spanish that means boy, DM gets it as "NIO". If I type "traição" DM gets it as TRAIO, an so on.
In sum, DM is cutting the special characteres, what doesn't happen when keywording from iStock site.
- Franky:
Tried it out and you are correct. On the site it works OK. Seems to be an iStock API problem. A work-around is currently in test.
- Franky:
Fixed in v 1.2 Beta 1.
Actually, it is a work-around for a known API problem.
- B9. Properly handle usernames which have spaces in them
- MikeCherim:
I installed DM, confirmed my login, but when I try to get updates from iS to poulate the DB, it comes up zero found.
Related: When I first signed up here I had my username changed. Could that be an issue? Since I doubt I'll check this post,
if someone can site mail me it'd be appreciated.
- Franky:
Mike, I think I know what causes this. It appears that your username has a space at the end.
I checked your profile page here at the the site, and here is a fragment of what the html shows: title="MikeCherim "
It's the first time I see a username with space at the end. I know that DeepMeta strips leading and trailing spaces in some instances and not in others,
so it can get confused (something I'll fix in next release).
Please try one more (last) time, but this time, when you enter your username in DeepMeta, add a space after your username MikeCherim.

- B13. Duplicate keywords through Cut & Paste
- attator:
I DA'd the keywords to files individually before i used DM. one set of photos was of a group of young people.
Now that it's easier to organize the files, i thought i'd go back to the same set. i noticed that in some of the files from the same set
I put in "Youth Culture", but not in all. so i thought, if i keyword a dummy file with just "youth culture",
it will have just that one keyword. so if i highlight that file, ctrl+C, then highlight all the files in the same set,
then copy to set, the new keyword "youth culture" will be copied only to the files that don't have it yet,
and will just be rejected by the ones that already have it. so i did just that.
What happened though was that i ended up with two instances of the keyword. one is "Youth Culture",
from the old DA'd file from the site, and the other, "youth culture" the one i added via DM.
I didn't notice this until after i sent the updates and got error messages for duplicate keywords.
I thought i'd ask because this is exactly the scenario that i will be doing, to check that set photos have the keyword by copy and pasting. thanks!

- B8. Ratings & comments tab sometimes completely empty
- roomauction:
Finally got the bug with this 'sometimes missing' ratings and comments!
When you deselect 'active' checkbox in the first tab 'images' you will not see ratings. Theoretically this works ok, but very not user friendly to find this out.
Either this tab should not relay on the checkbox in another tab, or the 'active/inactive/other' checboxes should be repeated,
however I cannot really see the point of viewing ratings in deactivated images and surely there are no ratings in 'other' (not loaded, pending, purged)

Fixed in v 1.2 Beta 1.
- B4. Wrong x/month calculation
- theasis:
I think you have an off-by-one error in the xyz/Month calculations.
I noticed in some images that I uploaded this month that the downloads per month is less than the total number of downloads.
Looking further, I have an image I uploaded exactly 7 months ago. If I calculate downloads/7 I get the value on the website.
If I calculate downloads/8 I get the value in DM.
- asiseeit:
I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but in the images section, the DL/Mth and $/Mth seem to be based on a monthly basis, not a daily basis
(like the istock web site). For example, I have a photo that was uploaded 21 days ago, has 1 download, but averages .44 dl/mth.
I think this is because it is July 1st now,
so the program assumes it has been active for 2 full months (June,July). It would be around 1.2 dl/mth if it were averaged on a daily basis.
The totals also work this way and it would be helpful to have it average like the web site does. Thanks!
