Thanks again!

I know for a fact that Nautilus, gThumb and Konqueror are all supported.

So far, I can’t get jUploadr to accept dragged images — i.e., no can drop. I’ve seen elsewhere the question “Is the O/S allowing the drop?” in the answer to similar problems. The short answer is that I don’t know.

Here’s my Java version:
java version “1.5.0_06″
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_06-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_06-b05, mixed mode, sharing)

I installed jUploadr as root in the usual location (/usr/local/src/jUp…).

I’m running jUploadr as an ordinary user.

Do I need some write access somewhere to allow the dropping? Xandros is slow to upgrade packages (except when security is at issue). For example, I’m using Firefox 1.5. Are there prerequisite packages (other than Java) that I should check for currency? Should I just install directly for each user and not as root in some central place? Do I need to set up links somewhere?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

- after an authorisation the account name is “null-account@Flickr” (nevertheless upload works well)
- the authorisation gets lost after quiting the program

This is the main problem with release 1.1.1 (also with 1.1). Authorization is not saved permamently. The same method works in version 1.0. Deleting config directory also doesn’t help. OS: GNU/Linux (Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft).

Feel free to contact me for further details.

Great App you created here! Looks very smooth and works very seamlessly with flickr! Love it!

Just one thing: Could you please try to handle the IPTC tags a little bit more sofisticated? Similarly to the way the flickr-upload-tool handles them:
I have tons of pictures that I’m just assigning a title but not a description. What I would expect to happen now, is that the Uploading-Tool takes this as the title and leaves the description empty. What the Flickr online-upload-tool does, is adding this IPTC-Title inside the title AND the description, which is better than nothing…but not perfect.
But what your tool does at the moment is adding the FILENAME as title and putting the IPTC-Title as Description, which is really a pity, because the Filename is not what is most important as information to be displayed…

Anyway: Great app. anyway!

Have a nice day!

You should not have to re-auth every time you start the app. It might behoove you to erase the file ~/Library/Preferences/org.scohen.juploadr.plist and start from scratch.

I like everything, especially that it doesn’t have a memory leak like the official Flickr mac uploader. But I have the same problem as Andi. Each time I start the program I have to re-authenticate and reset my preferences. It would be nice for this to be saved.

I got the error messagens, but when I close those the program simply closes… not even the “reopen” button with the message that normaly is presented when some program closes itself unexpectedly…

The only way is not to drag a movie file to it…

I was thinking. Is there a way to validate the files before generating the thumbnails? I was about to upload 250 photos of about 2Mb each to my pro account. The thumbs take much time to generate. Or may be if ou use the embeded thumbnail generated by the camera itself? Don’t know… but IMHO its better to sort out the problem before de lengthy tasks.

Many thanks for the fast responses and contact-me if you think I can help you sorting out the problem.

I love this program, it saves so much time uploading to zooomr. The only nit-picky thing I have is with the tags. The problem is this.

Say I have 10 pics on the juploadr window. I select them all and add a tag to them, maybe ‘travel’. I then select four of those pics and add in the tag ‘country’. I then deselect those pics and select four pics, but include two of the pics I had previously added ‘country’ to and add in another tag, say ‘mountains’. What happens is that in grabbing photos that already had tags on them and adding new tags, it actually adds some of the common tags in twice.

I hope that makes sense.

Can I suggest that in the tag window, if there are common tags, it greys them out or something and doesn’t add them again. Of course you would still be able to change them, but it would apply it to all of the selection, therefore changing the greyed tag would change it for all of the selected photos, but not add it in again.
