• v4.1.72 - Wed Nov 05 2025

    • Batches: Fixed a few issues where sync might fail if ESP returns unexpected data.
    • Uploads: Removed the 'Color' field ('Black and White' / 'Color'). Sync started getting errors on this and it seems the ESP UI no longer shows this field. It may have been deprecated (which is a good thing)
    • Uploads: Fix (hopefully) for the layout issue in Firefox where the vertical text in the Review Reason box would overlap with the text at the right.
  • v4.1.71 - Tue Nov 04 2025

    • Batches & uploads: The upload preview panel, when 'View|Edit' switch is set in 'View' mode, now shows inspection info, when available'
  • v4.1.70 - Tue Nov 04 2025

    • Daily Stats: Fix for high CPU usage, even when there's no interaction with the page.
  • v4.1.69 - Sat Nov 01 2025

    • Translation disabled for dynamic app content. We were getting errors for dynamic sections when the user had translation enabled in the browser (e.g. chrome)
    • Lots of back end server operational functionality added to allow better monitoring of background processes and debugging of issues.
    • Sync: fixed an issue that resulted in gaps in the synced uploades under certain conditions.
    • Sync: added a background task that completes synced batches up to as far in the past as possible, up to the pointwhere Getty has purged them.
  • v4.1.68 - Thu Oct 23 2025

    • UI: Hover effect no longer triggered for disabled buttons.
    • General: maintenance update of used libraries.
  • v4.1.67 - Tue Oct 21 2025

    • Uploads: Upload list improvements when viewed on mobile devices.
    • AI: Support for Anthropic Claude 4.5 Haiku model added.
    • AI: Can now be started as soon as the images are added, no need to wait for upload & ESP thumbnail processing to complete. Not for videos yet. Also verify that the thumbnail extracted from the file has high enough quality (depends on your editing software). If not: sync the batch to get the ESP thumbnail instead.
    • AI: Now detects editorial uploads, marks them on the Upload Info Card at the top, and adjusts the prompts and results accordingly. You'll want to first make sure the creation date is set, and perhaps enter location data before starting the AI analysis; with the option 'Use user input' turned on.
    • AI: We no longer show Read-only keywords in the Upload Info Card, and we no longer supply them to the AI. Words like 'horizontal', 'color', and the repeated country only add noise to the AI input.
  • v4.1.66 - Mon Oct 20 2025

    • Uploads: Completely new upload thumbnail architecture. 'Rescues' thumbnails from batches/uploads in the background, instead of directly using the URLs from the Getty API, which expire every 7 days. Will take weeks to sync. Only thumbnails from batches that were purged from the ESP server, for rejected uploads or accepted/similar CC uploads cannot be recovered.
    • Uploads: Added warning on the upload panel about the current AWS outages
    • Batches: Sync now detects batches that were purged from ESP and marks them with a 'trashcan' icon in the UI. This is one stage further from being 'closed' ('padlock' icon)
    • Collections: New sort option 'Board date' for collections imported from boards: date when board was last updated at getty/iStock site. Set when imported.
    • Collections: Clicking the 'board' badge now opens the website (iStock/Getty) matching where the board was imported from.
    • General: The browser icon for deepmeta.creativ.zone should now be the DeepMeta icon, and be the creativ.zone icon for all other subdomains.
  • v4.1.65 - Thu Oct 09 2025

    • Uploads: Fix for DM-ESP country name mismatch: 'Falkland Islands' - Falkland Islands (Malvinas), preventing a submit.
  • v4.1.64 - Wed Oct 08 2025

    • AI: Now also allowed for Uploads that are no longer editable. Clicking 'SAVE' will report that saving is no longer possible.
    • AI: Some UI tweaks for mobile.
    • AI: Fix: Now correctly reports in the preview panel if no metadata was found in the Upload. (was showing the number '0' before)
  • v4.1.63 - Tue Oct 07 2025

    • Uploads: On desktop, alt-clicking a term, candidate or release in the Edit panel, will select all uploads in the list that have this item assigned.
    • UI: Some dark mode and mobile tweaks.
    • Asset sync: when syncing assets from the istock/getty site to the DM4 server, assets reported by the istock/getty server as having a submission date of 1/1/0000 (!), will get a new submission date equal to their creation date. This avoids issues with sorting and displaying these assets in the UI.
  • v4.1.62 - Tue Oct 07 2025

    • Batches: Fix for memory issue when many batches are shown in the list.
    • AI: Added a very experimental 'Review' feature. Click the Help button on the AI page for more explanation.
  • v4.1.61 - Tue Oct 07 2025

    • AI: Small UI improvements (showing Img analysis results while disambiguation is still ongoing). Big code refactoring to allow for many more variations in prompts and settings.
    • Daily stats: fix for stalled scrolling due to smaller thumbnails. Page size was 50 and if all fit on the page, there was no more scroll trigger. Increased page size to 100.
    • Batches: removed the text: '(100 most recent)'. Which was no longer correct. In a future update, I will change from infinite scroll to paged scroll, unless I can fix performance issues with large batch counts.
  • v4.1.60 - Fri Oct 03 2025

    • AI: Fix for regression error where selecting a different upload no longer cleared the results of the previous one.
    • AI: For models that don't allow changing the Creativity (and are typically very slow too ... here's looking at you GPT...), the Creativity slider is now hidden.
  • v4.1.59 - Fri Oct 03 2025

    • Daily stats: improvements to the thumbnail system.
    • Daily stats: S+ assets are shown with an S+ badge.
    • AI: Fix for the broken 'Store' links. These are now buttons and split into 'Save' (overwrite) and 'Append' (add to existing). Check the help panel to read how this works for disambiguated terms.
    • AI: Your settings for Analysis and Disambiguation are now remembered for next time.
    • AI: Fix for results disappearing when panel is closed and reopened.
    • AI: The Upload data card can now be hidden to save space.
  • v4.1.58 - Thu Oct 02 2025

    • Daily stats: new thumbnail system.
    • Daily stats: the 'NEW' badge is now overlaid on the thumbnail to save space underneath

    • AI: Sparkles button moved to the Upload Edit panel.
    • AI: Fix for disabled title/description length input fields on Firefox
  • v4.1.57 - Mon Sep 29 2025

    • AI: Many changes to the UI and capabilities. Press Help button on the AI panel for full instructions.
    • AI: Added support for the GPT-5 Nano model, as well as the just released Anthropic Claude 4.5 Sonnet model.
    • Batches: Fix for error when creating a batch from the homepage
  • v4.1.56 - Sat Sep 27 2025

    • AI: Disambiguation improved. Uses up to 3 times less tokens.
  • v4.1.55 - Sat Sep 27 2025

    • Settings: panel now more mobile friendly
    • AI: Disambiguation added. Is a very first attempt and fairly slow, but interesting nevertheless. Have many ideas to improve on it!
  • v4.1.54 - Sat Sep 27 2025

    • Uploads: If an EPS file is added to a non-illustration batch, and it was the only file added, the user is now warned that the batch type is wrong. Is update to change from fix in previous release for an edge case.
    • AI: Added the Claude 3.7 Sonnet model as alternative to Claude 4.0 Sonnet, for evaluation
    • AI: The UI now allows full control of min/max lengths for title and description.
  • v4.1.53 - Fri Sep 26 2025

    • Uploads: If an EPS file is added to a non-illustration batch, the user is now warned that the batch type is wrong, instead of complaining it has no raster file.
    • Batches: Fix for regression error where the acceptance details for CC batches was no longer shown in the batch list.
  • v4.1.52 - Fri Sep 26 2025

    • Settings: A brand new 'Settings' pane has been added (cogwheel icon at top right). Allows selecting Upload region, Keyword language, Default country and some experimental preferences (hidden by default).
  • v4.1.51 - Wed Sep 24 2025

    • Uploads: Initial phase when files are added now has its own set of states with individual retries. The current state is shown in the Upload slide panel (though it typically goes away quickly when all goes well)
    • Uploads: All country names now shown in UI to match those used by ESP
    • Collections: List now shows if a collection is tied to an imported board. Hover over the badge to see the Board ID and last update date. Click to open the board at gettyimages.com
    • Collections: Board import page now has better responsive behavior for smaller screens
  • v4.1.50 - Mon Sep 22 2025

    • Uploads: AI: We now have 8 models to choose from for image processing.
  • v4.1.49 - Mon Sep 22 2025

    • Uploads: AI: Added support for Google Gemini API
  • v4.1.48 - Mon Sep 22 2025

    • Uploads: If user adds more files than free slots in the batch, an error is immediately shown, instead of later at upload time.
    • Uploads: Processing now has additional timeout detection (with retries) for all states of the upload process, as well as for the initial keyword lookup at the very start. Also additional logging added.
    • Uploads: An experimental 'Sparkles' button has been added, allowing AI generation of title, description and keywords for the selected upload. Very very experimental, and only available to Beta Testers. Serves as initial evaluation of viability of AI-generated metadata.
  • v4.1.47 - Thu Sep 18 2025

    • Preferences: reworked internal mechanism, in preparation for upcoming DeepMeta Preferences panel. Also reduces network trafic when making rapid changes, like dragging a slider for thumbnail size.
    • Inspections: Fix for crash for reported user case where upload could not be found for a given inspection.
  • v4.1.46 - Thu Sep 18 2025

    • Upload: video poster frame selection now possible on both local file (while uploading) and remote file from ESP server (after upload). Playback/scrub performance will depend on video size, codec and network.
  • v4.1.45 - Wed Sep 17 2025

    • Inspections: Fix for inadvertent center alignment of thumbnails when detail panel open
  • v4.1.44 - Wed Sep 17 2025

    • Uploads: CSV import: When a keyword auto-matches a corresponding vocabulary term (e.g. term 'Nebraska' for keyword 'nebraska', the term is still assigned, but we now no longer remove that keyword. This way, the user can still select additional terms as well. This matches with how it works when manually typing in keywords.
    • General: Property lists in the right-hand slide panel now show descriptions full width left aligned, with less jarring copy/paste animation
    • Inspections: (possible) Fix for ugly scrollbars showing up in Windows browsers for each of the thumbnail rows
  • v4.1.43 - Wed Sep 17 2025

    • Uploads: When adding files to upload, DM now detects and reports if batch was deleted at ESP server or if it's full.
    • Uploads: The progress bar in the upload slide panel now also shows the total % finished
    • General: All back-buttons in the page headers now link to the logical next-up section, instead of linking to the previously visited page (you can use your browser's 'back' button for that).
    • First time sales: Thumbnails now sorted by upload date within each month group, instead of arbitrary
  • v4.1.42 - Tue Sep 16 2025

    • Uploads: major refactor of the upload code: better memory management. Note that some regression errors may occur, but we should be able to fix these quickly.
    • Uploads: When a file with video extension is added, which is not actually a video, this is now reported as error.
    • Uploads: When an EPS illustration file is added without a corresponding raster JPG file, this is now reported as error.
    • Uploads: Fix for CSV import of the 'created date' field. Now correctly assigned, corresponding to the batch type
    • Uploads: Number of retries are now shown during upload as well. When finished, if retries, separate counts for different phases are shown, e.g. '0+2+0+0'. Hover over the numbers to see a breakdown.
    • Uploads: Fix for JPG-only Illustration uploads: now correctly go to 'To Edit' or 'To Submit' status after upload.
    • Member feed: fix for crash when asset has not the expected thumbnails
  • v4.1.41 - Tue Sep 09 2025

    • Uploads: When view set to 'Grid', the Status icon is now also shown for easier identification. Depending on the setting of the size slider, either just the icon or the icon with text is shown.

    • Uploads: After illustration upload, the size of both main and raster files is now shown.
  • v4.1.40 - Tue Sep 09 2025

    • Portfolio: reverted S+ related changes ... need more work.
  • v4.1.38 - Sat Sep 06 2025

    • Portfolio: fix for backend asset fetching: regression error in thumb URLs.
    • Portfolio: ui already shows S+ status, but backend will first need to resync data for these to show up. Work in progress...
  • v4.1.37 - Thu Sep 04 2025

    • Portfolio: If no assets found, this is reported. If no assets found and search terms were entered by the user, a hint is shown to adjust the search criteria.
    • Batches: Clicking on the 'info' button for a batch, slides in the 'Batch Details' panel, like before. This panel now also shows the upload thumbnails: clicking them allows to copy to clipboard. This provides a more convenient way for upload editing: open your upload list in one tab, and the batch list in another tab. In the batch list: find appropriate batch to copy from, click its 'Info' button and click a thumbnail to copy to clipboard.
    • Batches: Button 'View Uploads' was not working (regression): fixed.
    • Batches & Uploads: Improved consistency in 'view/edit' buttons across both sections. Also, the button labels are shown if browser window is wide enough. Something I want to do in other places as well ...
    • Uploads: Disabled wake lock so that users can sleep at night ;)
    • Portfolio: back-end changes in preparation for showing S+ status for assets.
  • v4.1.36 - Thu Sep 04 2025

    • Portfolio sync: Workaround for some assets being reported by Getty API as submitted in the year 9999: we use the creation date as submission date in that case. (fortunately only encountered once so far)
    • Uploads: Implemented a 'wake lock', telling the browser not to go to sleep during uploads. Current browsers only promise to keep the screen awake, and not necessarily the whole system, but we hope to prevent network disconnects this way.
    • Uploads: Correction for Submissions: uploads that are in 'To Submit' or 'To Revise' state can now be submitted. Previously we allowed 'Revised' uploads to be submitted, which was incorrect.
  • v4.1.35 - Wed Sep 03 2025

    • Portfolio: Improved search/filter in Portfolio: shows label with nr of results, click to get more info on how to search. Multiple words can be searched and exclusions are supported.
    • Blog: Updated the Upload blog post to reflect all the changes and additions of the past weeks.
  • v4.1.34 - Wed Sep 03 2025

    • Uploads: If multiple uploads selected, all form fields having different values for different uploads are shown in yellow.
    • Portfolio: Search/filter in Portfolio assets now also searches in keywords
  • v4.1.33 - Tue Sep 02 2025

    • Uploads: Submit now also allows uploads in the 'Revised' status.
    • Uploads: The Submit panel now mentions at the top that either the selected uploads are shown below, or all uploads if none were selected (I think this behavior may confuse users anyway, but wanted to offer the flexibility...)
  • v4.1.32 - Mon Sep 01 2025

    • Uploads: Experimental button added to the Upload Poster Frame field. Timecode can be typed in, but when clicking the new 'video camera' button at the right, a window pops up with the video allowing to visually select the poster frame. Button is not available at all times: depends on whether file is still uploading or not, and support for video format depends on browser.
    • Uploads: Submit button added at top right of the Uploads section. If uploads were selected, these will be submitted, if nothing selected, all submittable uploads will be submitted. A confirmation is asked first.
    • Uploads: Tweaks to the Upload keyword panels UI for better distinction: yellow = newly added, blue = valid (has at least 1 term set, or is candidate), grey = needs disambiguation
  • v4.1.31 - Fri Aug 29 2025

    • Uploads: Keyword and Release panels now show selected items more clearly with a colored background and text color. Checkboxes moved to the left.
    • Uploads: Keywords in the right-hand suggestion panel that are assigned as candidates in the left-hand panel, are now visually distinct, similar to selected terms. They now also have a checkbox and can be toggled.
    • Uploads: Keyboard shortcut added: when Ctrl/Cmd clicking a term in the right hand suggestion list, the term is assigned and the keyword panel removed in one go (same as in DeepMeta 3).
    • Uploads: Using the 'trashcan' icon at the top of the left hand list now also deletes the candidate terms.
    • Uploads: When one of the 2 keyword lists is scrolled down and an item is clicked, on some browsers, the list would jump to the top. This should be fixed now and the scroll position should be maintained. Note that for some manipulations, such as typing in new keywords or switching tabs, the lists intentionally jump to the top. This is by design.
  • v4.1.30 - Fri Aug 22 2025

    • Uploads: Retries of failed chunks will now also be done for 2 additional error conditions observed in the logs
  • v4.1.29 - Thu Aug 21 2025

    • Briefs: detail panel of a Brief now has buttons to create a corresponding batch
  • v4.1.28 - Wed Aug 20 2025

  • v4.1.21 - Fri Aug 15 2025

    • Upload: If an illustration is added for upload and neither the EPS nor the JPG has a date in the exif, the last modified date of the EPS will be used as the creation date. (from the browser, we cannot access the file creation date)
    • Upload: Uploads that ended with an error are no longer automatically deleted from the list when new files are added.
    • Upload: Aborted uploads are now also logged to the server for debugging purposes
    • General: chunks of code loaded by the browser are now cached so they are still available after a site update, publishing new chunks of code. Should mitigate the reported 'ChunkLoadError' issue.
  • v4.1.20 - Wed Aug 13 2025

    • Upload: Fix: upon adding files, if creation date was provided as string in exif, it was not read.
  • v4.1.19 - Wed Aug 13 2025

    • Statistics: Daily stats: the asset type icons now just show 'Photo', 'Video' or 'Illustration' upon hover, since 'editorial' info is not present at that level (might be added later though).
    • Statistics: The icon for 'upload' is now also an upward arrow in a circle, same as used in the Uploads section and the rest of DM4 (UI consistency).
    • Statistics: The mobile view of Daily Stats now shows the Predictinator info instead of the Asset Type info, as it is more useful.
  • v4.1.4 - Tue Jul 15 2025

    • Uploads: Syncing upload edits to ESP is now much faster (if many uploads updated) and has extra verification after the sync, so we can trace any potential reported sync issues.
    • Uploads: The keywording language is now shown at top of the keyword input field, but only if it's not English (to avoid needless UI clutter).
    • Releases: There is now a 'Name' field which the user can choose as desired. It is initialized to the filename, but can be freely changed. If a name was entered, the filename will still be displayed in the release list, underneath the name.

    • Uploads: Fix for headers of Keyword Suggestions and Cue-Cards: clicking them will no longer add these titles as candidates. Only the regular keyword list does this.
    • Uploads: Fix for >100% uploaded label; caused by retries (strictly speaking this results in more than 100% of file size uploaded, but showing this to user is confusing)
    • Uploads: Fix for label Retry Count always showing 0, even if there were chunks being retried.
    • Uploads: Releases: added same hover effects as for keywords to obtain clearer release UI
    • Uploads: Long keyword terms now use up to 2 lines instead of being truncated.
    • Uploads: Newly added keywords now shown in yellow. Sorting for the 2 keyword lists is now: first newly added, alphabetically, then the rest alphabetically.
    • Portfolio: When clicking on an asset in the Portfolio section, the Asset Detail Page opens. This panel now has a 'copy' button to copy the Asset to the internal clipboard. It can then be pasted to one or more Uploads in the Uploads section.

    • Uploads: Right after importing new files, the uploads in the list now show that changes need to be synced ('To sync') instead of '0 changes' (was just a UI thing)
  • v4.0.35 - Mon Jun 30 2025

  • v4.0.25 - Thu Jun 05 2025

    • Uploads: Adding and editing uploads now automatically applies the sort order, so that requested sort order is always respected. If items in the upload list jump as a result, and you don't want this: change your sorting to a more appropriate option
    • Uploads: Some UI tweaks to the space usage of the keyword lists. The round keyword selection buttons are now always shown, and show the expected action upon hover ('+' for adding, '-' for removing)

    • Uploads: Added new sort options 'Filename' and 'Create At' (= CameraShootDate), 'Uploaded At' (= when created at ESP)

    • Uploads: Release form now uses same component as upload creation date. Uses the user locale, determined by the language setting of the browser. Also shows the locally formatted date on top as verification. When empty: shows the expected format e.g. 'YYYY-MM-DD'.

    • Uploads: The 'Title' edit field now expands if multiple lines are needed to show the content
    • Uploads: When adding new releases, if they are PDF, they are shown. With earlier versions, PDF preview only worked on Safari browsers and showed a broken image on other browsers. Still to be tested on mobile browsers

  • v4.0.13 - Sun May 18 2025

    • Uploads: Empty batch page now shows a correct notice to non-BetaTesters. The one we had was confusingly suggesting to sync.

This makes it possible to view e.g. keywords of uploads that are no longer editable, in case the user wants to use the upload as the source of a copy/paste. There is currently still an 'info' button in the list view, which will go away as soon as the new info view shows as much info as the old pop-up one does.
    • Uploads: Right-hand edit panel now has a toggle button to view a large version of the thumbnail (first item, in case multiple are selected). There are +/- buttons (like in Google Maps) to change the size of the thumbnail.

    • Uploads: shootDate/createdDate/recordingDate now show a date in the form if all selected uploads have the same date. If the dates are different, no date is shown.
