It would be very nice to have the ability to see the amount of faves next to the amount of views and (may be) the amount of comments, and to have the ability to look at who has faved it. The amount of faves and who has faved your picture is an important criteria for a picture to get into Explore. This is sometimes more important than comments.
(And thanks for this great peace of software, I enjoy it very much)
Hi, this could be user error, but first time this combination of circumstances occurred, but basically an Export from Aperture failed halfway through and it was easier for me to kill the files and collection at the Flickr End than work out which files were missing and do a partial re-upload.
However, each time i ran the FlickrExport it would eventually fail with a 'photo not found' error and a list of files that it could not find, which threw me as all the Aperture Masters and Previews where present and working, not referenced Masters or anything like that.
Eventually I tracked that for each photo that I was uploading the 'replace existing photo on Flickr' tickbox was ticked (done automatically), knowing that that photo had already been uploaded it was trying to replace, except of course it couldn't because I'd deleted it from Flickr (hence the user error comment as I've never noticed this feature before so I *could* have solved the original issue differently), which I assume is the reference to 'not found'. Manually unticking the 'replace' box in the Flickrexport dialogue for each image appears to have worked so I'm up and running again.
I assume somewhere that Flickrexport caches a list of files it's uploaded? Either that of Flickr is giving you duff info because the images don't exist at that end any more. Regardless if you weren't already aware of this figured I'd post as a bug, or at least something that probably needs to be handled better.
I have two separate Pro Flickr accounts (one for my personal "snaps" — ie. vacations, holidays, etc. and a second account for my "commercial" work — in my case, wildlife & nature work). I have these separated between two iPhoto libraries (and a third iPhone library for videos, but that's another topic). FlickrExport for iPhoto only remember the last "login" used. I know there's probably not a lot of people with two separate Pro Flickr accounts, but it'd be nice if FlickrExport had the ability to switch between Flickr accounts.
I find that logging into Flickr with FlickrExport for Aperture takes a long time. I was assuming it was because of the large number of Flickr tags being downloaded. I thought I'd exclude ALL the tags by adding a filter with '*'. When I click OK after adding this filter, the Preferences pane does not go away, but a new folder is created in the Aperture project where the image is located.
Can we possibly have it so that flickr export can also (well i guess import ;) ) the flickr tags back to aperture? As it's a lot easier to edit the meta data for name/description in flickr than in aperture. I think this would be a wonderful feature! Or even if you update the meta on an image in your aperture library, you can have flickr export push it right to flickr...
Flickrexport - Uploading to Flickr. I never want my images resized at all - but I can't uncheck "scale longest side to" - is there any way of disabling it?
I've just purchased Aperture Flickr Export a few days ago. On exporting my images I select in the Preferences Add Flickr ID and URL to Aperture metadata but this doesn't appear to happen. Has anyone any suggestions to why? Thank you.
When I load up FlickrExport, it takes longer and longer to authenticate with Flickr. I think this is because it's downloading all the tags in my Flickr account, which are constantly growing. However, I never use the tag window on FE -- I edit them in iPhoto before I export. I've tried to use the exclude feature, along with every style of regular expression, to hide them all, but it doesn't work. What's the best way to do this, and in the process, speed up the Flickr authentication time?
On a Mac keyboard, when I type an accented letter, I use a keyboard combination. For instance to enter the é in "métal", I type option-e, then e - this combination gives me the accented letter.
I do this in the Version name field in Aperture 2.1. After I export the image and view it in Flickr, the image title contains two characters that make up the accented e, not one character. Please see http://flickr.com/photos/designwallah... for an example.
The first phrase "Métal Hurlant" comes from FlickrExport, the second phrase "Métal Hurlant" comes from editing the title in Flickr. Strangely, copy-pasting from the Flickr title field gives the correct result - one character.
Is it possible to set the title field within the export window, for a series of images, to "blank"? I don't want to have titles listed, but I also don't want to manually remove the titles from iPhoto (or have to do it one-by-one once uploaded to Flickr)?
Thanks,
Kristin.
