Due to technical limitations things are not as smooth as they could be but if you carefully read the following instructions, you should be able to transfer your sets without any problems.
To import a set go to the Flickr set page and click on "CLICK HERE TO START Flickr set importer" underneath the banner on the top of the album page.
For every photo of the set:
- if the photo has already been imported to ipernity it will be added to a similar album on ipernity;
- if the photo is not yet on ipernity it will be imported BUT NOT ADDED TO THE ALBUM. YOU WILL NEED TO RELAUNCH THE SCRIPT TO ADD IT.
This means that only one album may be imported in a maximum of two script passes.
Other important points:
- only photos are imported, no videos.
- only the first 2000 photos of a set are imported (it's the max number of items that can contain an album on ipernity)
- the cover photo and description of the Flickr set are imported as well;
- empty photo titles are now kept empty on ipernity (there was previously a bug, we fixed it)
- don't be afraid if you import a set already imported. It will not be imported twice.
Please tell us if you encounter problems or bugs.
Have fun!

It's working with a few odd bugs. I'm finding a handful of photos freeze it (the same photos each time) — I'll post again if I can find out why.
The Flickr Importer has not been updated since 2013. Apparently it was not an important feature for the former Ipernity S.A.. Now, as an independent club, we would of course be happy if someone could carry out a technical update.
Until then you can also choose an alternative import procedure described by Tobias Bauer.
