Hi, I just purchased the FlickrExport plugin however I have encountered a problem with logging in and authorising FlickrExport in Flicker, prior to being able to Export photos, as follows...
1. I selected the photos for export from iPhoto to Flickr.
2. In the FlickrExport window within iPhoto I hit 'Export', then 'Authorise' which prompted me to log into the Flickr account, and authorise FlickrExport.
3. I successfully logged into my Flickr account, and hit the 'OK, I'll allow it' button and received the subsequent message from Flickr that I had successfully authorised FlickrExport for iPhoto2.
4. I went back to iPhoto and hit 'continue' resulting in the FlickrExport window showing me as successfully logged in: 'Logged in as MHandJK'.
5. I then hit 'Export' and received the "invalid frob" (Code: 108) error message.
6. I've then repeated multiple times the above, each time de-authorising FlickrExport from my Flickr permissions, so as to start afresh each time.
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.
FlickrExport 3.0.0.b26 hangs fairly frequently (up to 50% of the time) in iPhoto when exporting photos. It stops right at the start of the export, after the progress bar dialog comes up, but before exporting any progress is recorded. Force quitting iPhoto is the only solution. I have a copy of the crash report if that would be helpful.
In FlickrExport for Aperture 3.0b26, if I try to upload a photo that was edited with the Noise Ninja plug-in, the lens metadata does not get uploaded as a tag (doesn't show in the export dialog). The lens info does show up if the image has not gone through Noise Ninja.
When I upload multiple pictures into both a set and a photostream, I end up with multiple sets (the same number as the number of images I'm uploading). This was really annoying to find out when I uploaded 617 pictures!
Please support another photo shareing service that has Flickr compatible API, like Zooomr http://zooomr.com/ .
I suggest it is easy to change FlickerExport for Zooomr. Zooomr API is very similar to Flickr.

When exporting photos, if I fill the latitude/longitude fields with coordinates cut'n pasted from Google Earth (e.g. 43°33'58.18"N, 7° 6'53.72"E), this produces errors at the end of the export, telling that FlickrExport wasn't able to set geographic location from the coordinates. It actually took me a while to understand that I needed to click the 'google earth' button once more to set the location in decimal format. I'm just thinking I may not be the only one who made the same mistake.
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.
When I'm tried to use the FlickrExport beta Aperture started to spin the wheel and started to consume all my CPU time. It happened when I was adding a comment to a photo (in the middle of typing a word) I took a sample and force-quit Aperture. Let me know if you want the sample file. Re-launching Aperture and re-exporting worked.
The Export status bar doesn't seem to be animating during the "Checking that the photo arrived" portion of the export (and a few steps immediately following). It often seems like FlickrExport is hanging on this step, when in fact it may just be taking a while to "check."
It would be nice to have a more helpful (and responsive) "check" at this stage of the export.
Using FlickrExport for iPhoto on OS X 10.5.3, iPhoto 6.0.6
I'm using the iPhoto beta version of FlickrExport (3.0.0b25) and would like to report the following bug:
When you try to delete the contents of the "Scale longest size to" box, you can't delete the existing contents (although you can overwrite by selecting then typing). If you try to delete, you get down to one character, then that can't be deleted.
I sometimes use the AdobeRGB colour profile when editing photos. However, for uploading to Flickr, I always want to use sRGB so that the colours look reasonable in a web browser. Would it be possible to add an option to FlickrExport to change the colour profile when uploading (the same as can be done with Preview's "Match to profile" command)? It needn't be something at the top level of the application - it could be hidden away in the preferences.
I would have thought that Apple provide some kind of API to do this somewhere in the bowels of their frameworks...
title
I recently purchased FlickrExport for Aperture 2, I uploaded all my images and now I would like to change the Titles in Aperture and have them update in Flickr, I've chosen the preference for version name and uploaded again, and it is not working, the title is still the old photo number, and also when I updated this info, not only did it not change the Title of the image, it put the image at the end (out of order) in Flickr
While exporting a batch of photos last night, the export process got stuck at "Checking that the photo arrived..." at about 11pm. At 6:30am it's still sitting there and I can't cancel the task or quit Aperture.
I found the following in Console.app:
7/8/08 11:02:51 PM Aperture[5521] FKPhotoUploadRequest processCheckTicketResponse logged the following error: Sorry, the Flickr API service is not currently available.
I just had to force-quit Aperture, which gives me the heebie-jeebies.
Aperture 2.1, OS X 10.5.4, FlickrExport 3.0.0b25 for Aperture.
I'm using the beta version of FlickrExport 3.0.0b25.
I previously raised a question about embedding sRGB as the colour profile on export to Flickr, and received a reply to say that the feature was in the beta version of FlickrExport. However, it does not seem to be working for me - photos that have the AdobeRBG colour profile are still ending up with that when they get to Flickr.
I'm raising this as a separate thread to ensure that it gets noticed - I'm not sure if replies to existing threads are seen.
FlickrExport for Aperture (3.0.0b25) doesn't seem to be ignoring the tags/keywords that have been set to be ignored when uploading. Even though I have my top-level keywords (and a few second and third level) like 'Hardware', 'Photo specs', and so on in the 'ignore these' field (I forget the exact nomenclature, Aperture's busy uploading right now), they keep appearing on Flickr.
I'm a registered user of FlickrExport 2.0.15 for iPhoto (7.1.3). Will FE preserve my iPhoto keywords? Does it (or Flickr itself) automatically convert these to Flickr tags? Is this facilitated by upgrading to FE 3 beta?
What I'm trying to do must be common, or am I looking at this the wrong way? I think what I want to do is keyword my photos in iPhoto, and not have to duplicate the effort once they get to Flickr. I'm a pro member of Flickr, if that matters.
I purchased a copy of FlickrExport for iPhoto and the license number I was provided with does not work.
In the email that has my license number, step 2 reads "Launch Aperture". Is it possible I was provided a license number for Aperture instead of iPhoto?
