New Post: invalid frob

drumlaut — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 09:56:36 GMT

Hi,

I tried to install latest version of flicksync on my system (WinXP SP3, .Net 3 installed), but after clicking ok to giving FlickrSync the permission for my Flickr-Account, i get following error:

Unable to obtain flick Token

Error: Invalid frob (108)

I give flickrsync the permissions and restart application. Still the same error.

There is no settings-file, where it should be in my Profile-Folder - perhaps thats the reason?

btw.: I use german version of WinXP.

kind regards,

Mathias

Thanks for a great program, many thanks.

I have the same problem with Autosync, it displays the preview window. Actually, it seems to be impossible to supress the preview window even when running the application normally - i.e. setting the preferences to 'No information'.

I'm running Windows 7 RC 7100

New Post: Renaming local files doesn't rename files on FlickR?

geada — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 09:01:16 GMT

The behaviour you describe it's correct. Basically FlickrSync detects if the file has been changed by using the modified date and detects if the file is the same or not according to the method. As you say, if you match by date taken and don't modify the file, it will assume it's still the same file and does nothing. If you rename it and the match by title/file name then he doesn't understand it's the same file and deletes the old one to upload again.
The solution for your problem is the following: Select "Match by date taken", rename the files and then "touch" the files updating the "date modified". There are some free tools (search for "touch") that do just this (update the modified date of all files). This way FlickrSync will know it's modified and since the match is by date taken, it will know it's the same file and just replace it. It will still upload the image (there's no method currently to distinguish metadata changes from image changes) but it will not loose all your other Flickrsync information (ex: comments from other users).

New Post: Renaming local files doesn't rename files on FlickR?

Hey there.

Pardon if this was discussed already, but I can't find a way to rename files on FlickR after I have renamed the local files? If I use "Match by date taken" as method, it says "Nothing to do" and if I use any of the other two methods, it wants to delete the file on FlickR and upload the renamed file.

All I want to do is for the software to realize it's the same file, and just rename it on FlickR. That way I can upload "Oslo - 001" to "Oslo - 999" and have them on FlickR while I slowly give the pictures more meaningful titles like "Oslo - Park - Flower" etc., and the filenames will be sync'ed on FlickR as I go along.

Otherwise thanks for a great piece of software!

Like another poster said in another thread... when I run the automatic command it brings up the preview window and just sits there until I click the Sync button.

Actually, I would like this feature to work like Picasa. The program sits in my task tray and monitors the folder tree it has been told to. Whenever a photo or video is changed in one of those folders, it automatically syncs the new version to Flickr right away. Picasa does this all the time, even if you change tags or a caption or the GPS coords.

This is agreat idea for a piece of software. I use Flickr to mirror part of my Picasa albums. Picasa has me hooked with the automatic sync feature in version 3. Compared to what Google offers, Yahoo really lacks in client software the way that Google has gone out and produced Picasa, Earth and other clients that integrate into the web versions. FlickrSync is a great step in the right direction and has just the right feature set when there is already heaps of cheap or free software that does all the things that Picasa does, just keeping your efforts into the basic sync feature and improving it as suggested here is probably the right focus.

After testing with the picture you've sent by email, I found that it isn't a flickrsync problem. In fact, even if you try to upload this picture directly on the flickr site, it also does not work. You have to contact flickr support.

New Post: Running in auto mode

cesiumdeth — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 05:11:19 GMT

When I run the directive given for auto mode with the /auto switch from the Vista command prompt, FlickrSync starts and automatically goes to the "Preview" interface. However, then it just sits there as if it wants me to click the sync button. From what I've read it sounds like the auto mode isn't even supposed to show the user interface. Any ideas? The directive I'm running pretty much looks like this "C:\thePath\FlickrSync.exe" /auto

A few pics of mine are uploading distorted (looks like satellite TV when a storm hits) on Flickr. They look fine viewing locally on my PC. I even deleted the distorted pics in Flickr and ran flickrsync again, same issue. Any ideas?

I get the following error in the log whenever I try to batch sync my photo's with Flickr. I have tried all sorts of permission changes etc (including moving the entire photo archive to a different drive) and every time I sync I get this error - always on the same photo and it cancels the entire job.

Anyone know what this is or how to get rid of it?!?

howshall — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 20:59:49 GMT

Just to let all know that after sending Pedro screenshots and config files he was able to very quickly fix my folder properties issue in v0.8.5.1 which he's just released.

Apart from first crash with 1st v0.8.5 sync everything has been stable so far since then so hopeful that v8.1 crashing has been solved for me.

New Post: How Can I Skip Video Sync?

geada — Sat, 31 Jan 2009 14:33:00 GMT

I don't understand what do you mean. From PC to flickr there shouldn't be any problems since FlickrSync only considers image files. AVI files will always be ignored.

New Post: How Can I Skip Video Sync?

chrisboy68 — Sat, 31 Jan 2009 12:38:50 GMT

Thanks, but I needed the other way too (PC to Flickr). I have all my vids and Pics in one folder which I'm syncing. Anyway, I changed the source to ignore *.avi. It was a hack and I'm not a MS dev, so I would't want to make it as an official patch.

Could you please try again with version 0.8.5?
It might just be that your company firewall blocks access to api.flickr.com.
