I just got the same error message.

Hi,

Can you email me at info-at-connectedflow.com with the address you used to purchase and I'll sort it out for you.

A comment on the problem "Error viewing photos" in Connected Flow:

I accidently clicked on that «This solves the problem»-thingy because I have the same problem with the «FKFlickrErrorDomain error -1» which luckily seems to be fixed when Apple will let us have 1.0.2. – Aslak Raanes, on July 23, 2008 14:14

Fraser Speirs replied on July 23, 2008 14:07 to the idea "View photos in grid" in Connected Flow:

Yup, something like this will likely be coming in a future update, although I can't say exactly when. I have a prototype implemented already.

Thanks for clarifying the replace feature, I'll give it a shot, I will look forward to when we can update more the title/version metadata as well.

Fraser Speirs replied on July 23, 2008 13:58 to the discussion "Preference for version name is not working" in Connected Flow:

"does that mean that particular metadata can be updated to flickr after uploading an image to Flickr"

Here are the rules regarding replacement:



The "Replace existing photo on Flickr" checkbox is only enabled if the image has a custom metadata key in Aperture with the name "Flickr ID" and a Flickr photo ID number as the value.

If the checkbox is disabled or enabled but unchecked, FlickrExport will send both the photo and all current metadata from Aperture to Flickr and the image will appear at the head of your photostream

If the checkbox is enabled and checked, FlickrExport will take the current image from Aperture and use it to replace the existing image on Flickr. No metadata will be sent in this case. It should be exactly equivalent to clicking the Replace This Photo link on the photo's page.

Marymcd replied on July 23, 2008 13:42 to the discussion "Preference for version name is not working" in Connected Flow:

It's happening in Flickr when viewing a set, the image is at the end of the set, however it's in the correct order when viewing Stream.
And sorry I'm still confused about the "add a keyword", does that mean that particular metadata can be updated to flickr after uploading an image to Flickr?

Fraser Speirs replied on July 23, 2008 13:31 to the discussion "Preference for version name is not working" in Connected Flow:

Hi again,

When you say that replacing a photo is putting it in the wrong order, where is that happening? On Flickr? In your photostream, or a group or set?

The "add a keyword" feature refers to the ability to add a keyword in Aperture's metadata.

Marymcd replied on July 23, 2008 13:20 to the discussion "Preference for version name is not working" in Connected Flow:

I hope you can change that, I paid extra for the feature of being able to re-upload, and now it won't change metadata and it puts the image in the wrong order, also, on connectflow website it says the paid version can "Add a "Flickr" keyword to photos after uploading" isn't that changing metadata afer an upload? Please clarify. Thanks

Some people on the Apple discussion forums are still reporting problems with iPhone-tagged photos though.

For my test-case photo it definitely changed the behaviour.

Fraser Speirs replied on July 23, 2008 11:46 to the problem "GPS coordinate interpretation." in Connected Flow:

Setting status to solved.

Fraser Speirs replied on July 23, 2008 11:46 to the problem "GPS coordinate interpretation." in Connected Flow:

Excellent. Thanks, Apple, for fixing this!

lazyllama replied on July 23, 2008 07:32 to the problem "GPS coordinate interpretation." in Connected Flow:

The export problem in iPhoto seems to be fixed with version 7.1.4 released today.

It didn't change the coordinates of my test picture, so I'm hoping it's a general fix. It isn't explicitly listed in the changes but is probably covered under the "several minor bug fixes" statement.

A comment on the problem "Stuck at "Checking that the photo arrived..."" in Connected Flow:

Haven't seen this in a while, but I also only saw it the one day that Flickr seemed to be having problems... – Brian Lalor, on July 23, 2008 04:37

Fraser Speirs replied on July 23, 2008 04:27 to the discussion "Preference for version name is not working" in Connected Flow:

Hi,

I'm sorry, but the replace feature doesn't work as you think. It is designed only to upload the image again and will not replace any of the metadata.

I do have an open request to add the ability to upload metadata changes.

Marymcd replied on July 22, 2008 16:40 to the question "Aperture-FlickrExpoprt Title field?" in Connected Flow:

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

Jason Tucker replied on July 22, 2008 15:49 to the idea "Let me take pictures!" in Connected Flow:

I think adding in photo uploading functionality including selecting a tag for the photo taken before upload would be nice. Also being able to just upload pictures, get geo location of them and allow you up tag before upload would be killer. Even AirMe does do that.

gavin replied on July 21, 2008 16:41 to the idea "Let me take pictures!" in Connected Flow:

Having used my iPhone a bit more, a key feature in an upload application would be the ability to add photos to a batch and then upload them together, rather than one at a time.

I can see sense in having this as a separate application. Perhaps shaking Exposure launches the other app, but you can launch it independently. I know that Safari can be invoked in this manner, but I'm not sure if you can launch one app from another. Shades of Finder 6 Transfer....

Jakob van Santen replied on July 21, 2008 08:55 to the idea "The hit zones of the blue "more" widgets should be bigger" in Connected Flow:

Okay, I was afraid of that. In all the places I've seen Apple use the widget (e.g. the Wi-Fi picker), the rows are much narrower, so that there's no active space around the widget.

Then again, in the process of trying to figure out exactly what the difference is between the behavior of the Wi-Fi Picker and Exposure list views, I've gotten a lot better at hitting the widget properly. So, not a deal-breaker, but certainly non-intuitive and a bit frustrating for beginners.
