v1.7.1 released - fixes iStockphoto login and more
In this release:
- iStock login fixed again.
- Statistics for 123rf & Fotolia fixed. Note that 123rf stats show up quite slow due to their server speed.
- Fixed: “99% upload – read timeout” error while uploading large files to Panthermedia.
- Removed some internal limitations from the free version.
- Mac: system / hidden folders will not show up in the file tree.
- Mac: some customers reported they could not run PSM 1.7 on their Macs, typically Leopard & Snow Leopard OS. This was caused by improper application packaging for Mac. Get v1.7.1 - it should run OK now.
- Linux releases & Linux support is discontinued from this release on. We prefer to focus on Mac and Win OS only.
- Shutterstock & Dreamstime FTP uploads: large / long batches interrupts fixed
iStock changes their login procedure
...once again.
So v1.7 can not upload to iStock anymore. We'll fix it in upcoming 1.7.1 as well as a few statistics-related things.

iStockphoto login
-- UPDATE August 23 2009 ----------------------
iStock rolled back their login procedure, removing the new 'pop-up' web interface.
So PSM should be updated with the new release 1.6.5 which will also 'rollback' iStock login. We'll release the software update this week.
In fact, I never understood why the new login GUI was claimed on iStock forums to be 'more secure'.
Both the old login (which is back now) and the new (rolled back) login are the simple sequences of HTTPS POSTs and GETs and they both have exactly the same SSL-based level of security. Making some more GET or POST calls with a 'pop-up'-like 'div' element or adding some AJAX calls to the new iStock login procedure does not make iStock web application more secure. Obviously, iStock guys have their own view on this matter.
-- August 22 2009 ---------------------------
It seems that again there is an issue with iStock login.
Probably the changes that iStock made some time ago were not final and they keep changing their login procedure.
We are checking the issue.
v1.6.4 released
Fixes iStock and Alamy login and hopefully makes Alamy bulk upload work
