As I understand it the "upload compression" setting should mean how pictures are resized or recompressed (e.g. JPG compression level) or both before upload to save on bandwidth and accelerate upload. However so far the upload compression setting always resets to "none" and doesn't seem to affect any upload even if selected immediately before uploading. Also while the upload page says that photos from camera roll are always resized to 640x480 in my experience they were uploaded in full size (pixels as well as bytes).
Periodically, my uploads from FlickrExport stall and never recover. My network connectivity is fine when this occurs, and if I attempt to upload the photos with my browser, everything is working fine. Any idea what might be causing this? It's extremely frustrating, especially since it re-prepares all the images for upload when I retry after cancelling.
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.
This was working fine until about a week ago, or thereabouts. I was using 2.0.15, and have tried using the 3.0b23 version, but that gives the same error.
I've just used FlickrExport for Aperture b23. I selected 9 images and uploaded them without a problem. I then selected two images and tried to upload them. One of them was succcessfully uploaded to Flickr, but the other wasn't. FlickrExport filled in the Flickr metadata fields in Aperture (so it thinks the picture was uploaded successfully), but the pics aren't up on Flickr.
I'm just about to run through the process again to see if I can reproduce the problem.
In an earlier version of your software (2.0, maybe?), it was much easier to do this, but in the new interface I still can't figure out how to make the same tags apply to every photo I'm uploading. Did the feature drop out, or did it just move somewhere I can't locate it?
I want to move all of my photos up onto Flickr. I have around 3000.
If I start the process, can FlickrExport recover from a network outage or app crash? Or do you recommend uploading in batches. That seems like a pain if I upload in batches of 50 photos.
