Использование функций Microstock+ в StockSubmitter/en

Microstock+ may work independently or in a conjunction with Stocksubmitter. Conjunction means that some of M+ features are implemented in StockSubmitter. It is only possible for Windows users or those who's working with StockSubmitter via virtual engine since other operational systems don't support StockSubmitter.

What's the purpose of a conjunction between the products?

• Solving a slow or unstable internet connection problem
  Upload your files to M+ once and all the following operations will be performed by our servers fast and efficiently.

• Solving a problem with a denied access to the microstock agency
  Some microstock agencies might be blocked in your country (or in the country you're currently in) and you may need VPN to access it. M+ servers are located in Europe and don't have such problems.

• You're always in the move or travel a lot and need a remote control
  M+ allows you to manage files with any device with a browser. Once you're back to your main PC, launch StockSubmitter and it should synchronize all statuses. Notice that data and thumbnail synchronization is a one-way process. It means that all the changes in StockSubmitter impact on M+ but not vice versa.

• Using cloud-based features in StockSubmitter
  You may track Accepted and Declined statuses only when your StockSubmitter is in a conjunction with M+.

M+ will synchronize all connected to StockSubmitter microstock agencies and you don't need to do it manually. Your releases database will be backed up to our servers to provide you with a complementary security against data loss. Note that synchronization is a one-way process (from StockSubmitter to M+). If you'd like to connect more agencies or change login/password for any microstock agency account you need to do it directly in StockSubmitter.

How to recognize that a conjunction between StockSubmitter and M+ was successful?

While the conjunction is in process you'll notice an appropriate alert message. Once it closed, the conjunction has been finished successfully. All statuses are being synchronized in a background. The process doesn't require your actions or presence and you may pause it with a StockSubmitter shut down and continue with the next launch. Same goes for the release database.

How M+ recognizes the files that had been uploaded and attributed with StockSubmitter?

M+ reads and displays all metadata from StockSubmitter. Once such file is successfully uploaded to M+ you'll see all metadata, including file statuses at all connected microstock agencies.

How to upload and submit files to M+?

1. First, please, fill the metadata and attach required releases to files you're about to upload to microstock agencies
2. Make sure that M+ is in the list of accessible microstock agencies in the lower menu in StockSubmitter interface
3. Select the files you'd like to upload as usual
4. Check all microstock agencies and M+ in the lower menu
5. Click the Upload button

All files will be uploaded to M+ first, then our servers will deliver it to the microstock agencies. StockSubmitter will ask you if you'd like to submit files manually (with StockSubmitter) or automatically. An automatic submission with M+ gives you a lot of benefits such as tracking Accepted and Declined file statuses. Otherwise you only may set it manually. If you prefer a direct upload with StockSubmitter to any particular Microstock agency, upload it separately from the other and don't select M+ in the lower menu.
