Thank god! I don´t need this script. I´m just starting from the scratch here. A good way to rip it up and start again.

I hope the group-function will come soon. So we can start a new Hamburg/Germany-Group here. I have a good and growing community that wants to move...

Great work, thank you. This is absolutely fabulous. What about an "import all photos" tool? ;)

I'd also like the import to be "bulk" oriented. Maybe in the course of time, with 1Gb a month as a Pro, I could manage to have all here. In chronological order...

Alexia Cournoyer says:

just tried a few and they've come across as photo unavailable :(

Alexia Cournoyer says:

btw this script will enable you to download all your pics from flickr relatively painlessly... www.flickr.com/groups/flickrhacks/discuss/72157594489070277/

then i suppose it's just putting them in the uploader..

sadly it doesn't download anything other than the pic, so all descriptions tags etc are lost..

Posted 2 years ago. ( permalink )

Christophe Ruelle^pro replies:

Thanks Alexia. I'll give a look now.

Posted 2 years ago. ( permalink )

Alexia Cournoyer replies:

you're welcome christophe. if nothing else it is a good way to back up everything you have on flickr. my tip is if you download each of your sets then you can add your generic and set specific tags to the uploader for each set. still means work, but it is a *lot* easier than doing it through the organiser or by hand.. :)

Posted 2 years ago. ( permalink )

Kiezkicker replies:

Try one of the following instead which download tags and descriptions, too:

Doesn't support the transfer of original size pictures for me

Maybee you should check your rights at flickr? Here it download the original ones. I had the following settings:
Who can download your photos Only you edit
Who can print your photos Only you edit
Who can blog your photos Any of your contacts
Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs Creative Commons
Try it. :)

Fred (also on http://flickr.com/freeed) replies:

No actually it won't, because it is a Greasemonkey script. However, if you like, try out Firefox. I am pretty sure you'll like it and you never want to go back :)

Christophe Ruelle^pro says:

new release 1.3 is ready - please update !

Posted 2 years ago. ( permalink / translate )

Michael^pro replies:

OK, Original works now; But after loading the previous version the script names have disappeared from the Greasemonkey (0.7.20070607.0) context menu (otherwise GM seems to work normal).

Loupiote (Old Skool) says:

thanks. i'll give it a try.

why only 20 tags? is that the tag limit on iPernity? on flickr, the tag limit is 75 tags. in order to import my photos from flickr, i need to get all the tags (up to 75), so this script won't do it for me (yet).

@Paul Peeraerts

ca peut etre change' facilement plus tard a l'aide de docmanager.

acb says:

I tried importing one photo and the plugin imported everything but for the geotagging information. I hope this is fixed in the next release, as I'm not looking forward to geotagging my 3,000 or so Flickr photos by hand again.

NicoleB says:

Thanks :D!

Not sure, I'll use it, but it's good to have :D!

Posted 2 years ago. ( permalink )

Loupiote (Old Skool) says:

a part pour la limitation des tags (j'espere que cette limitation sera corrigee bientot), ca marche tres bien, merci!

except for the tag limitation (i hope this will be fixed soon), this script works great, thanks!

Posted 2 years ago. ( permalink / translate )

ecstaticist says:

This is great, but as I have 4299 photos on flickr, I rapidly ran out of space on my free account, and based on what I read about your pro accounts, I will rapidly run out of space even if I upgrade. For example, I have a set I've been working on on flickr with 932 dew drop refractions in it. Any chance of getting a one-time account transfer limit? I have joined and I am leaning toward staying by buying pro, but I would like to bring my entire collection with me.

My geotags are not working yet, nor is the correct CC licence being imported. Otherwise the plugin worked perfectly.

Panchromatica says:

Until the script allows batch uploading, I don't think I will be using it. I will probably start all over again.

Posted 2 years ago. ( permalink )

Loupiote (Old Skool) says:

yes, batch uploading AND getting the 75 tags would be a big plus.

also people use two different way to geotag their photos on flickr. some people (like me) use the old-stile explicit geotags, e.g.

geotagged geo:lat=40.75465 geo:lon=-119.2365

some other people use the flickr-integrated geotags, i.e. not real tags, but info hidden in the flickr database that can be queried with the flickr API.

in the case of using real flickr tags, i think it does not work if the geo-tags are not among the first 20 tags, because of the plug-in limitation of 20 tags.

and i don't know if ipernity can import old-style explicit geotags, either. flickr can, using www.flickr.com/account/geo

Daniel Schwabe^pro says:

I second ecstaticist's comment and plea - pls consider allowing a "one time transfer" for those of us who have largeFlickr collections. Obviously, only for those acquiring "pro" (which I am already leaning to, but this would definitely be a big push!)

madriguera says:

great!! thanks a lot for this plug-in, i have transfered some of my pics ... they have been transfered with the notes written by me under same (those which had) but no tags at all .... anything wrong ??? did i skipped any step?? cheers!!

uff ... that's a hassle with around 2'000 photos in flickr. :o(

I really feel like Daniel Schwabe 2 posts above me.

vegitill says:

hi, thx for the plug in, but I can't move the oreginals and sometimes the large ones. Is the problem at flickr or because I don't have a pro accout here yet? Thanks for all the support, you make a great job!

LarsT says:

Nice work so far, but needs a bit of improvement! My feature requests:

- important: make it possible migrate geotags from the map _somehow_. it's so tedious to do all that work again, and geotags rock so hard! I'm not sure whether a greasemonkey scrip can do this, if not pleeeease explain how we can do this.

- migrate whole sets / albums

- less important: migrate licensing options

Fred (also on http://flickr.com/freeed) replies:

Hm. I haven't tried the geotagging thing but in the post at the top it says, it imports "latitude and longitude" -- isn't that exactly what you want?

Posted 2 years ago. ( permalink )

sabinche says:

i tried it out - and it worked! :)
thanks!
but.... i really would love a script that enables the importing of a whole set.
do you think you guys could work that out?

Great tool. I've imported a picture from flickr with GPS info.
Latitude: N 55° 42.33' 0"
Longitude: E 12° 30.12' 0"

But it never shows up in my exif at ipernity.
Also when i upload a picture directly to ipernity, the GPS information is not used. Am i doing something wrong?

Hi there,

problem: does not work with my account on flickr :(

It runs through the images, looks pretty much like working great, tags and stuff is imported correctly - but it does not get the image data, only this "the picture is anavailable right now"-error from flickr:

Any suggestions why it fails?

How long will it take to fix the script?

Posted 2 years ago. ( permalink )

大青森^pro says:

In my case, it was because of the way flickr stored my images (looks like they changed that over time). The ipernity "staff" is working on a solution :)

I got the same problem: a part of my flickr-posted fotos were correctly transferred (25%). about 75% arrived at ipernity with tags, description but without the foto itself. What to do? Delate the uncomplete "images"?

by the way, there is a typo in the message:

Posted 2 years ago. ( permalink )

Loupiote (Old Skool) says:

by way, in the message:
"Thank You : this photo has been successfully imported into ipernity"

it would be nice if "ipernity" could be a link to www.ipernity.com - this way a simple click could be used to go there and check the photo / correct the description etc.

Loupiote (Old Skool) says:

aparemment le script a un probleme pour importer mes dernieres photos (e.g. www.flickr.com/photos/loupiote/833172085/ ).

une fois dans ipernity, la description de la photo est remplacee par "SONY DSC".

j'ai du recoller la description a la main pour chaque photo importe'e. c'est pas top cool.

Posted 2 years ago. ( permalink / translate )

Loupiote (Old Skool) says:

import script does not work with photos taken with Sony Alpha camera: photo description is not imported from Flickr.

instead, the text "SONY DSC" appears. presumably due to some EXIF metadata generated by the Sony Alpha and incorrectly interpreted by the import script.

an example of photos that cannot be imported correctly is here: flickr.com/photos/loupiote/856239663/

well, I`m sorry to say that the script doesn`t work on my PC. It worked fine at the beginning...but then something happened and, every time I try to import a photo from flickr a message appears telling me that the "session has expired".
Any suggestions? Thanks

Jon Searles says:

Okay, here's a question. Why does it say "photo is currently unavailable" on almost everything I imported?

Help please.

I have used the script from the beginning and now I am getting "Sorry :session expired".

Denni^pro says:

Are there any news on this yet? I continually upload batches to Ipernity (I'm still using Flickr until my pro-account expires) and I'm currently at 'chunk' 16). It's been a few weeks since I last imported photos.

Also, I know I'm slow but is it possible to upload just a few photos at a time, using Greasemonkey?

And do I have to uninstall and re-install it?

Posted 19 months ago. ( permalink )

Denni^pro says:

To answer my own questions: version 1.4 works (at least for now). Thanks!

There are separate scripts to move single photos to/from Flickr--as it says on the link right underneath the instructions :) (however, the link's out-of-date).

Unistall scripts by going to Tools/Greasemonkey/Manage User Scripts (just in case you were wondering...)
