Doc Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Alamy Image manager has several irritations as has been noted in this forum. However something seems to have improved in that before, if one pasted a word or phrase into the keyword box, it immediately was made into a keyword without the chance to change it first. Now that seems to have changed and it is possible to paste a phrase in and then alter it before hitting return and it becoming a keyword/phrase. That I feel is a small but definite improvement - anyone else noticed this? Kumar (the Doc one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannachy Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Yeah it has and I actually don't like it. Extra keyboard pressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanW Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Yes, noticed that yesterday when I was keywording, definitely an improvement, a thumbs up from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Yup, I like it too. The inability to edit phrases was frustrating. Please keep those small improvements coming... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know how many times when checking captions I think I’ve left location off. I begin entering, and lo and behold, it appears double. Then I get to delete the new letters.

And it didn't help that I jumped to the wrong conclusion at first: that the input field would no longer work with a whole set of tags from an intermediate document. At first it didn't, but it turned out to be my fault. Have yet to test the limits though. Which for obvious reasons we may or may not want to discuss here , depending on the outcome. ;-) wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imageplotter Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I thought I'd gone a bit gaga this morning, when I was suddenly able to edit the pasted phrase rather than it automatically becoming a keyword. Yay -so relieved that isn't just me. Thumbs up! And yeah, full captions would be so nice. And...umm...going back to those light grey buttons....ok,ok, one thing at a time...

Johnnie5 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 It would be nice if Alamy could add a plain text display of keywords with commas included. HInt HInt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiskerke Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Regular input boxes for Caption, Description and Location. Description, yes. Not additional info. Actually Caption should be called Headline. wim edit: sorry forgot to say please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiskerke Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Has there been another change in how tags behave or have these 2 always been the case? The Supertags are listed in the order in which their stars have been clicked. The reordering happens after clicking Save. It is possible to combine tags into one tag, we all know that. I have tried how many tags would fit in a tag this way. Thinking somehow that would speed up deleting tags. The funny thing is that after the tag's limit has been reached, all the other tags will vanish in it like it's a black hole. Which of course it is ;-) wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to have to drag the tags into the phrase- dragging the phrase over the tag doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Baker Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Always hated that a Paste went straight to a Tag. So it's a +1 from me. Great weekend, ya'all. Richard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sally Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 That's a definite improvement. Hope to see more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
