ProStockMaster Changelog

What's new in ProStockMaster 2.0.4

Jun 21, 2013
  • PSM is now compiled with Java 7.
  • Fixed and improved the keywords suggestion mechanism, including translations and multi-lingual support

New in ProStockMaster 2.0.3 (Dec 7, 2012)

  • Added scrolling for language context menu, so all languages are reachable for all screen resolutions
  • Fixed issue which did not allow suggestions for multiple keywords / keyphrase.

New in ProStockMaster 2.0.2 (Feb 17, 2012)

  • PSM now works as a Lightburner.com client, uploading images exclusively to your Lightburner.com account. If you did not get your free Lightburner account yet, go get it now.
  • It means that now you can upload your images to as many microstock and traditional stock photography agencies as you wish, either by using pre-defined Lightburner.com microstock sales channels like iStock and Shutterstock, or by defining your own private FTP channels.
  • It also means that PSM will now upload images only once, to Lightburner.com, instead of uploading them N times to N agencies. Thus you save time and bandwidth.
  • Lightburner accounts are set up for automatic distribution of all uploaded images, no additional action required. Once PSM uploads the images Lightburner will distribute them to the microstocks of your choice.
  • The IPTC/EXIF/XMP metadata library is replaced by a more sophisticated solution. WARNING: MAKE COPIES FOR ALL JPEGs BEFORE YOU APPLY ANY METADATA CHANGE.
  • The database structure was cleaned up and was significantly changed. The new database is incompatible with DBs of PSM 1.x.x. If there will be a huge demand for the backward compatibility I will consider adding a DB convert utility.
  • Some less important functionality existed in the previous versions is removed to reduce the number of features delivered in this BETA release.
  • Bugs fixes: keywords translation in “Edit Metadata” dialog is back, keywords suggestion for international keywords works faster
  • Auto-upgrade mechanism is replaced by downloading and running the software installer.

New in ProStockMaster 1.6.3 (May 7, 2009)

  • Shutterstock uploads switched to FTP.

  • EXIF reading is back
  • Manage metadata – copying data between images: verified & OK. Also the dialog will close now when a user press OK in the “applied” confirmation message.
