some files failing on flickr
i'm trying to upload a photo from aperture and i'm getting err code="4" for some of the photos. i'm also noticing that the app is saying that the upload is x of 22896789. is that the size in bytes? if so, am i running into a file size limitation?
I’m frustrated

I have this problem, too!
Tell me when someone solves it.
The more people who report this problem, the more it gets noticed.

The company thinks this is not a problem.

Inappropriate?according to the flickr api documentation, error code 4 is:
4: Filesize was zero
The file was zero bytes in length. -
Inappropriate?The Flickr responses are notoriously poor for this one.
There's a hard limit of 20MB per image on Flickr. Unfortunately, because of limitations in the Aperture API, there's not much FlickrExport can do to either warn you beforehand or recover afterwards.
The only thing that will work is to either reduce the resolution of the image or the quality settings. Even taking the JPEG compression down one or two notches from 12 will produce a significant savings in file size.
PS: I'm going to mark this as "not a problem", but that's just because it's not specifically a FlickrExport problem. I'm sure Flickr are aware that they need to raise this limit again.
