Stuck at "Checking that the photo arrived..."

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 sad it's broken, but I'll live.

Inappropriate?

It was working fine for me yesterday morning, and so I think it's just a problem on Flickr's end. I'm getting the same error message though.

This app should have some sort of timeout mechanism to handle getting stuck on the "checking that the photo arrived" message, and then it should automatically retry.

I’m sad

Hi folks,

Flickr's API had a bit of a hiccup this morning. Obviously there's a bug in FlickrExport on this and I'll be sure to take a look at it once Friday's iPhone brouhaha is over.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

I’m a bit overloaded.

Hi folks. Is this still happening for you?

I’m digging through the post-iPhone backlog.

Haven't seen this in a while, but I also only saw it the one day that Flickr seemed to be having problems...
