I think they're still working out the bugs in their server-side and client-side scripting. Every image I submit goes immediately into the "Awaiting Submission" category due to lack of image data, even if it's a directly converted JPEG from a PEF raw file. The camera model and all the exposure data show up - even lens focal length - but the lens model doesn't. I have no idea why because I can see the lens data when I use Photoshop or IrfanView to check the EXIF. So I click "Edit Info" and select the "Lens Series" drop-down box to indicate if it's an M, A, FA or whatever. But after this the "Lens" choice box is still empty. So I "Save" and go back to my Photos page where the image is still "Awaiting Submission". Now I can click "Edit Info" again. It remembers the lens series I chose before and now gives me a drop-down menu of all the lenses in that series. At this point I can select the appropriate lens and complete the form. After this the image gets accepted and is "Ready for Review". So it ends up being a 3-step process: 1) Upload Image 2) Edit Info to choose lens series (and add image title & category) 3) Edit Info to select specific lens It's really much less onerous that it appears when written out and I don't consider it a big deal, but it's an indication that the gallery is really still in beta testing. Of course it is. That's why it's not open to the public yet. They'll get the bugs worked out. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
