Set Flickr "Title" from "Version Name" ?
Hi! I've tried "FlickrExport Lite for Aperture" and I was disappointed to see that it doesn't seem to be able to use the "Version Name" metadata as a "Title" for the exported image. Is it because it's the light version or is a feature to be added?
I’m undecided

The full version of FlickrExport has a preference to use either Version Name or IPTC Headline. The Lite version only uses IPTC Headline.

Inappropriate?Thanks a lot for this fast and informative answer!
Well, I'll definitely buy this plug-in, as soon as my budget allows it.
I’m thankful

Inappropriate?Since the vast majority of folk use the Version Name or Caption fields in Aperture for their image Title wouldn't it make sense to make one of these the default field to populate the Title field in the export Dialogue Window, preferably with an option to choose which is used. Why use the IPTC Headline field? Or is this done deliberately so we'll buy the full version?
I've been using the Lite version for some time and I'm sure this used to use the Version Name field by default. It seems to have been changed recently. I have wasted a lot of time thinking this was a bug....

IPTC Headline is the default in the paid version of FlickrExport/Aperture, since I thought that was the most appropriate metadata field for the purpose and that's what Lite uses too.
As with many applications available in lite/paid versions, the paid version gives you more options. -
Inappropriate?Well I'm glad I found this — I'd overlooked it in the options when I first bought Flickr Export and had been annoyed by the title not getting set from my metadata.
I personally think the Version Name is more appropriate, as this seems the logical place to title an image when using Aperture.
I get the feeling that IPTC metadata is more of a 'pro' feature in Aperture (perhaps just because I don't use them), which is why it seems the less obvious default for the unpaid (non-pro) version to me...
I’m silly
