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

Just tried this on Firefox 3 Mac OS X and it works just fine: accented e looks like one character and when copy-pasted, is one character.

I just downloaded Firefox 3 for Windows. The Flickr title now looks correct, but when I edit the Flickr title, copy-paste into a text editor, I get two characters for the accented e.

Métal Hurlant • Métal Hurlant

You may be able to copy paste the above line to see what I mean.

Thanks,

I've seen this before with Firefox users. One user resolved the problem by not having FlickrExport launch the Flickr landing page after export (turn off the "Open Flickr after export" checkbox).

Does Firefox 3 do any better? Today is the big download record-breaking day, I think :-)

WWDC was _insanely_ busy this year, but it really moved my iPhone/Flickr projects forward.

On Windows XP, Firefox 2 and Internet Explorer 6 - in the window title bar, you see me[a square box]tal. And when I edit the Flickr title, there are two characters, e and ́. Safari is alright.

On Mac OSX Leopard, Firefox 2, the window title bar displays correctly, but there are two characters when I edit the Flickr title. Safari is alright.

How was WWDC?

Thanks,

Francis.

Hi,

Which web browser are you using?

Any ideas as to why this is happening?

Why does exporting accented characters do something odd? (Aperture 2.1-FlickrExport 1.0.9

On a Mac keyboard, when I type an accented letter, I use a keyboard combination. For instance to enter the é in "métal", I type option-e, then e - this combination gives me the accented letter.

I do this in the Version name field in Aperture 2.1. After I export the image and view it in Flickr, the image title contains two characters that make up the accented e, not one character. Please see http://flickr.com/photos/designwallah... for an example.

The first phrase "Métal Hurlant" comes from FlickrExport, the second phrase "Métal Hurlant" comes from editing the title in Flickr. Strangely, copy-pasting from the Flickr title field gives the correct result - one character.

Thank you, this is an acceptable solution.

It's not possible to put FlickrExport on the toolbar, but you can give it a custom keyboard shortcut in Aperture's keyboard shortcut customisation window (Aperture 2.1 or later).

FlickrExport on Aperture toolbar

Is it possible to add an icon for FlickrExport to the Aperture toolbar?

Fraser,

I forgot about that preference.

Thank you.

FlickrExport for Aperture uses the IPTC Headline field by default. There is a preference to use Version Name instead.

Aperture-FlickrExpoprt Title field?

I've happily used FlickrExport for iPhoto for the last couple of years and have now decied to kick it up a notch with Aperture. I've installed FlickrExport for Aperture and have successfully used it but I do have a question: which Aperture tag is used as the Title in FlickrExport? It seems it's not Version Name, as I always get a blank Title field when using FlickrExport.

Please help.

Thank you.

Francis.
