Well, it was the prefs. Everything is working just fine now.

I saved the older prefs but don't want to post them (my "omit" tags are street addresses). Do you have my email address--could you send yours?

Fraser, I haven't yet upgraded (though I may soon--I typically wait until the .1 release :) )

When I first posted, the IPTC caption was being used for the Flickr description. Now, as shown above, the caption is missing (in addition to the tags).

For what it's worth, it's doing this on two machines, my MacBook Pro and my Mac Pro.

Are there some preferences or .plists I can trash to see if that fixes the problem?

Carl, did you by any chance update to 10.5.8 recently?

The tags (and now the description) don't seem to be making it from Aperture to FlickrExport. Do I have corrupted preferences or something?

Hi Fraser. Sorry for the ambiguity.

Before, when I uploaded files, tags would move from Aperture to Flickr without issue (I've uploaded more than 1500 images, all tagged except this last set). As has always been the case, the tags are in the "keywords" field in Aperture, and I have "Headline" mapped to Flickr's title, and "Caption" mapped to Flickr's description. Flickr seems to be picking up the title and caption as expected.

Regarding the post-upload experience, I'm talking about Flickr itself. After uploading, I used to always get a page which reviewed the photos being uploaded and which allowed me to add descriptions, review tags, etc. This page has changed (perhaps in layout only), but it's on this page where I noticed no tags were making it from Aperture to Flickr. I tried twice, deleting the existing photoset and photos and clearing the Aperture Flickr fields between tries--no success.

Which prompts me to ask, when this problem is resolved, when I upload a photo and replace the existing ones on Flickr, will it add tags to existing photos? Earlier versions of Flickr Export for Aperture didn't add metadata when re-uploading.
