For a while, whenever I am downloading stock photos to save them on my computer, the stock photo has been given the default name 'file'. In the past, the default name showed the stock provider's name (together with the stock's title and a portion that pointed to dA) so it was very easy to track down who that stock was provided by. What the hell has happened?! It might just be something I am doing wrong (although evidently I haven't changed anything in my practice), or Chrome acting up (somehow a Chrome update messed up dA's system?!), but it is the most annoying thing. Other than it is a pain in the ass now to figure out later who to credit, notify, etc, as the stock photo I am saving, is always named 'file', it can very easily overwrite another, previously saved stock. (My downloads has been set up in a way that it always asks whether to overwrite or not, but nevertheless, there have been instances when I did not pay attention and clicked the 'Yes' button automatically, deleting an older 'file' named stock.) Anyone has the same experience? Or what should I do differently? Now I have stock photos in my stash, named 'file1', 'file2', and so on. Does that mean that from now on I have to manually enter a new stock photo name that gives me any kind of info on the file itself manually, every single f*cking time I am saving one on my computer?! If you have any idea what I am talking about, and have a solution, please let me know as it is seriously getting on my nerves. I am not on dA too often nowadays to know if it has already been a discussed issue, so I apologize if it has; nevertheless I would die to know any explanation or advice on this matter.

Someone has bought me a 3-month core membership just before my subscription ran out. Needless to say I was very surprised and humbled by this generosity. Thank you, whoever you are!

That's what I found. The book cover is for a 'New York Times Bestselling' author. The publisher is Henry Holt & Co., which is part of non other but the Macmillan Group. Oh, forgot to mention: no, I did not have any knowledge of this. Nice, right? Arrrgh.

...this coming Sunday (March 20th). Technically it was not a very difficult illustration; rather to find out what exactly they would have liked to convey... The article is quite an intriguing story (Sunday magazine, Arts&Style section, front page - can't reveal more than this until it is published).
