FlickrUploadr is back

Mon, 26 Feb 2007 11:05:25 GMT

Eighteen months later, Eric Weigle sent me a new version of FlickrUploadr wich supports Yahoo!’s authentication scheme, which is now required even for first-time Flickr users.

Eric merged my code with Cameron Mallory’s great authentication support and built this new version. Thanks to the new authentication scheme, FlickrUploadr doesn’t save your password on your disk anymore, so you can now remove the ~/.uploadr file.

Thanks Eric and Cameron for the very nice work.

Download FlickrUploadr 1.0.

    Great! I have been playing with Uploadr and I surely can use it. Thanks a lot! :)

    That said, I’ve been having problems with it on Ubuntu/Firefox. When the time comes to open a webpage (either for authentication or to review the uploaded photos), the passed URL is interpreted as a filename on the current directory, rather than as a hyperlink. For instance, I’d have Firefox try to open the following (and fail miserably):

    file:///home/cepe/Desktop/FlickrUploadr-1.0.0/%22http://www.flickr.com/tools/uploader_edit.gne?ids=426265693,426266752,426267592,426268732,426269929%22

    The %22 signs are quotation marks, and /home/cepe/Desktop/FlickrUploader is the directory that Uploadr was invoked in. If I isolate the URL between the %22 marks and open it, everything goes fine. My guess is that the browser opener is interpreting the quotation marks as an integral part of the URL, for whatever the reason.

    Could you please tell me what I have to do to fix this? I don’t have much of a clue with Python, but the function calls seem sane to me.

    Best regards and thanks!
