iPhoto '05 on MacOS 10.4 crashes when using plugin

iPhoto '05 on MacOS 10.4 crashed at the end of my use of the pixelpipe plugin, and the photo didn't upload. I have a crash report. Is there an email address I should send it to?

This hiding of latitude/longitude is site-wide for any new photos near the one whose coordinates you hid. There's no city information in OurDoings; lat/lon is the only location info other than what you put in your caption.

Bruce Lewis replied on February 04, 2009 03:46 to the question "Privacy Options for Geotagged photos?" in OurDoings:

It appears to be working now. Give it a try! Edit any photo and blank out the latitude/longitude. When you Save Changes, you'll get a button that says "Always Hide This Location". Photos uploaded from then on will have their GPS info erased.

Yes, I know exactly what you mean. I don't have a feature like that, but definitely want to make one. There should be exception locations where OurDoings not only suppresses the map, but also scrubs the geo info out of the photo itself. I'll get to work on it.

A comment on the question "How do I get encoding right via custom URL?" in Ping.fm:

I'll have to get back to you on that. It's not my text, it's from a user who mostly posts Chinese characters. – Bruce Lewis, on January 19, 2009 16:58

How do I get encoding right via custom URL?

What kind of encoding problem does this look like (posted to a custom URL that expects UTF-8)?

Thanks Amy. Did you enter this message yourself, or is it automatic?

Coolness. Integration is in production. Can't wait 'til photos work too.

OK, it works now. As soon as I add UI to let people turn ping.fm integration back off, I'll roll it out to production.

I don't get why Zooomr didn't want ping.fm integration.

I did test my handlers: I made a form with pingfm.html?m=sometoken as the action and POST as the method. It got everything.

But this is just FYI. I'll have a version working soon that doesn't depend on GET parameters.

brlewis replied on July 28, 2008 18:00 to the question "Could not establish connection with [custom] URL" in Ping.fm:

My custom URL ends with
ping.fm?m=sometoken

When ping.fm posts, its POST parameters (method, title, message) go through, but the GET parameter m, that I rely on for authentication, is stripped.

I can work around this by changing the custom URL to end with
sometoken.ping

I did some more debugging. The "m" parameter is being stripped. Sounds like I might need to make the personal identifier not be a URL parameter, but just a regular URL segment.

I am no longer getting the error message. Instead, I do an update with no errors, but see no update.

I put a form on this page with title and message parameters, and it works. Isn't that exactly how ping.fm works?

Just making the page do a little output fixed the problem.

I still have the tab up from ping.fm, and here's the exact URL I pasted in:

http://alpha.ourdoings.com/tobedelete...

I paste it into Firefox's address bar and get an empty page.

Could not establish connection with [custom] URL

I put in a custom URL and it says "Could not establish connection with URL" How do I debug?
