Oh yes! Brilliant idea! I really do appreciate it! I have also had trouble with the picasa to flickr business and I am most definitely about to try this!

You need to authorize flickr_upload with your account. ‘flickr_upload –auth’ should start the authorization process. If I recall correctly, I had to copy the URL it was trying into my browser in order to get the Flickr auth page to load.

Hi everybody — looks great but I’m not able to get it to work with Kflickr (apparently due to what Joel there said) but I’m not getting postr to work either. Postr works otherwise, but I suppose I haven’t altered the script correctly. I couldn’t find man pages for postr – would anybody care to let me know how to alter the script to get postr to upload the pics? Thanks! Postr will upload pics fine if I launch its GUI but I can’t seem to get Picasa to launch it. I’ve changed the Klifckr parts of the script to refer to postr, but no luck yet.

Joel: Could you please post how you changed the script? Thanks.

This is Ubuntu 9.04 and Picasa 3 beta.

Thanks for the script, works great for me. What is the license on it?

I’ve got it. The latest version o kflickr doesn’t allow photo paths from the command line.

I’ve changed from kflickr to postr and it works great.

Thanks.

Error from kflickr:
joel@pav:~$ kflickr /home/joel/.google/picasa/3.0/drive_c/windows/temp/Picasa3/temp_33/hpim2696.jpg
kflickr: Unexpected argument ‘/home/joel/.google/picasa/3.0/drive_c/windows/temp/Picasa3/temp_33/hpim2696.jpg’.

Hi,

this sounds great. but after installing picflick and changing the script to your version, selecting a photo and clicking on the “Flickr” button, nothing happens.

I’m using picasa 3 build 57.4402 on ubuntu.

The /tmp/picflick.log doesn’t exist.

Any idea on why the button isn’t running the script?

Thanks.

I think the wine2native function is already provided by a standard wine module called winepath. That would simplify it a little.

Hi!

Good idea! I have to resize my photos because I’m on mobile internet at the moment. I had tried replicating picasa2flickr using jUploadr but I couldn’t figure out how to pass the files on the command line. If KFlickr works well then that’s almost certainly the best way.

And yes, the beeps are gratuitous! What can I say, i was bored.
