Uploading help, general guide anywhere?

Stustaff

Hi I have some questions about uploading and wondered if im missing a guide somewhere?

Ive taken a look but cant see answers to some of the questions I have from the basics what uploader and where to find it too what ITPC data is displayed when I upload, and whether file name is displayed etc.

Thanks in advance for any directions to that info.

Thanks just reviewed those Andy and they sort uploading, But dont answer the questions about ITPC keywording etc.

I want to get some big uploads sorted right first time and especially want to make sure all of the itpc data is on smugmug and my keywords done to.

Im using iview MP 3 to tag my photos, what data does smugmug use to create the keywords?

e.g
Photo one
edited data in Iview to give..

People = Stu
Place = England
Keywords = Holiday, coast, beach
Copyright = Stu 2006
etc

What data will smugmug get from what i have done to the itpc data input in Iview?

will it add Stu, England, Holiday, Coast, Beach to keywords? or just what were the keywords in iview?

Im actually at work at the mo and guess my best option here is to label a test photo with all the possible options available in Iview and then upload the photo and see what carries across!

Cheers

btw Looks like you had fun at Zion and Bryce Andy, Im there in September for three weeks also adding visits to Grand Canyon, Arches, Lake Powell etc very inspiring seeing all the peoples pics.

I wouldn't say ALL as my "last" IPTC keyword for each image is always ignored.

I use a date/time stamp format for my file names (YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.jpg) that seems to confuse smugmug.

The keywords are interpreted by smugmug as (yes, there is a leading semicolon)

; keyword1; keyword2; keyword3; keyword4 20060520 104057

Though keyword4 shows up in the edit keyword box, it is ignored as a usable keyword until such time as I remove the date/time that was extracted from the file name.

This is a reproducible problem and it doesn't matter what program I use to input the IPTC keywords (Downloader Pro, ThumbsPlus and/or Photoshop).

Here's an example

The missing keyword is
