List auf different connections

[BlueDevilHH]

To send photos to different agencies it's neccessary to send them to the first agency, change the connection manually and send the same pictures  to the next agency...

The ability to define a list with different connections would be nice.

Is it possible to develop those function?

I suppose so as long as the selected set of photos is sent to all of the connections in the list.  That said, I can't say when such a feature would be implemented.

The point is, that the selected photos should not be send one or to all connections, but only to a selection of the available connections.

In germany some photographers send some photos to more than one agency and the workflow than is to send the photos to the first agency, change the settings, send to the next agency, change the settings, to the next agency, and so on. And thats all during a soccer game at multiple times. At first thats a very difficult procedure and this procedure can result in mistakes.

So this function would be very helpful.

Sorry if I wasn't clear.  I wasn't suggesting that the images would be sent to every server that you've ever made a connection for.  What I mean is given a list of connections, all selected images will be sent to all connections in the list.  There wouldn't be a chance to change the number of selected items, or which items are selected for each server, nor could any other changes to the Upload dialog (naming, IPTC stationery, image size, image quality, watermark, etc.)

Does that make sense?

Yes, your right. There's one problem. It would be neccessary to change some IPTC Fields for each connection before send the selected photos , because some IPTC Fields are defined for the specific agency like the Copyright-Field.

Then it would require having some sort of mechanism that would ask you if you needed to make changes before the set of images is sent to the next connection.  And because humans are fallible, the person in a rush could easily make a mistake in setting up those IPTC fields.

Moreover, it would require extended attended operation.  You would literally need to sit there and make changes (the right changes) throughout the setup process.  Once all settings were set for each connection, then the images could upload in parallel with no attendance necessary.

It doesn't sound all that useful to me given that the settings need to be modified for each connection.  One could set up a snapshot for each setting, but snapshots in the Upload dialog do not save/restore the IPTC Stationery Pad since it is global.
