I have a convoluted setup here at work :)
I have an SSH tunnel to my home machine (through the company proxy) and I need to specify "localhost:7654" as the proxy for the Uploadr.
I checked the Registry Settings but found no defaults I could tweak so that the tool could use my settings before trying to connect and allowing me to reach the configuration panel.
At the moment (default installation) it asks for the email and password and when I click "Continue..." a dialog box comes up with "Flickr Uploadr was unable to verify your account information. Please check your connection and account information and try again."
Is there an entry I can insert into the Registry to specify the proxy host and port?
Does the Uploadr only use standard HTTP traffic? If not I may need to reconfigure the home machine ...
Ah! almost forgot ... I'm Using Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2.

There's a significant turndown in uploadr interface: I uploading a lot of pics and do it like this:
- open flickr
- open picture viewer/resizer (xnview/picasa in my case)
- drag'n'drop picture to uploadr
- click "upload" and forget about th uploadr window until the next batch is dropped, not following the uploading/veryfying process (I don't care about it, really).
But!. When I try to drag the next batch of pics, I am greeted by the "finishing screen", asking if I want to see my photos or just go on. And dragged batch is not accepted. And I sometimes have to return to the previous application and click-select whole batch again (which is annoying when you have to repeat it).
So the request is the following: could uploadr be altered so that the finishing screen is not modal dialog and doesn't force me to click anything to go on adding photos? Because I upload photos with uploadr, not use it to open my browser (I can do it myself if I need, honestly!)

Can you not just click on "done" and return to the main screen? Seems like that would be as simple as opening a browser window.

The new version seems very keen on resizing more of my photos than before. Occasionally one would be selected for resizing (those that I'd cropped and rotated and maybe adjusted brightness etc - ie lots of tweaks affecting the file size). However, I just uploaded 6 pics and it wanted to resize them all.
Has this to do with Flickr becoming bigger and anticipating a massive influx when it comes out of beta?

urbansheep: yes, I totally agree, this has been a major annoyance for me too.
bdmckeown: No, you can't just click "Done", because invariably by the time the dialog appears, the window has already gone into the background and you've forgotten about it. I don't know about you, but I don't usually sit around staring at the Uploadr waiting for it to finish.
Here's what I think should happen:
(1) If you click "See Photos", the dialog box should go away, and the Uploadr should revert to its initial blank state, ready to accept new photos. After all, "See Photos" kind of implicitly suggests you're done uploading, no?
(2) Better yet, if you send a photo to the Uploadr while the "Done"/"See Photos" dialog is active, Uploadr should be smart enough to recognize your wishes, and it should make the stupid dialog box go away.
(3) Even better still: the "Done"/"See Photos" dialog box should not be so obtrusive in the first place. Make it appear off to the side, or below the picture-viewing area, where it will never ever interfere with the Uploadr's main function: uploading pictures.

Ah, I see Auntie P. Just check the box "don't ask again" when you get prompted for a resize, and you will not be asked again. You can change it in the settings box also, which you get by clicking the light switch. These new resizing options have always been planned, but just now implemented.

I can't upload at all.
I started to have problems with version 0.99 and I'm still having problems with v1.
The following happens with both versions:
After clicking on the upload button the two progress bars show the single picture being uploaded. When both bars are complete I get a dialogue error saying:
"Unable to connect to flickr service, Internet connection may not be present".
I can assure you there is an Internet connection and it's working :-)
I've worked through all the additional servers set out in the uploadr tools and none worked for me. I've now reset the server and it still doesn't work.
Additional info:
When I mistyped one of the server addresses (I deleted a period by mistake) I received an immediate message saying that flickr couldn't be contacted.
The 0.99 version used to work for me, as did 0.98.

GreekVicar, what is your set up like? Are you behind a firewall and/or a proxy server?
Posted 46 months ago.

I'm running on Windows XP, SP1. I have Norton Internet Security running. The firewall is enabled but uploadr is listed as being allowed. I connect via ADSL using a Vigor 2600 ADSL router. No proxy servers.
All of this worked fine until, I think, last Sunday (27th), when v0.99 started reporting this error. I don't believe I've changed anything other than upgraded to V1 (and tried the tools).
[A little later]
How about that? I've just tried a different photo and that worked. The fault appears to be specific to one image (which still won't upload).
So, cancel the original fault. The problem is with a specific image.

Still suffering to connect....Windows 2000 SP4, running on a corporate lan... am behind a proxy, so have copied the proxy settings directly from IE...they are all accurate.
Have tried the debug tools and all the servers listed....no joy....everytime I start the uploader, get a long wait, then Unable to Connect.
Any help/suggestions appreciated.

One oddity. After uploading pics, pressing "Done", then closing Uploadr, I'll get several firewall pop ups in a row telling me Uploadr is asking for permission to connect. This only happens after I close the program, say 15 to 30 seconds later. By the time I get Task Manager open, the process seems to have stopped.
I do keep it, like all programs, on a short firewall leash, or I never would have noticed this before.
Beyond that, it is behaving pretty well. Only crashed once, and, well, I am running Windows. :)

That didn't work. It's still telling me:

i'm having the same issue as GreekVicar above, but it's ALL the images that come from either of my digital cameras. when i've used a small .jpg from the web for testing, the uploadr works as it's supposed to. i wonder if the problem is related to EXIF data. it could also be a problem with the way Canon cameras save .jpgs, but i think this is less likely as images i've processed in GIMP and saved as .jpgs still cause the same error. uploadr versions from 0.99 on throw out the "unable to connect" error; 0.98 has always worked fine.

Two issues:
Annoying, but not a showstopper: I'm using 1.0 and it keeps telling me to update to 1.0.
Much, much worse: if I'm uploading photographs and my Internet connection is interrupted, the client gives me a message seemingly indicating that none of my photographs has been uploaded. As it turns out, everything that was uploaded before the connection died made it to the site and counts toward my limit.
But without looking at my photostream, I have no way of knowing this, because the client acts as if I haven't uploaded a thing. As such, I've now hit my monthly upload limit even though I've uploaded only 5 or 6 MB of unique photographs. Please do something about this as soon as possible, because this is REALLY not a good reason for me run out of bandwidth.

jpmatth: the image I've been having problems with was a scan of an old slide. It was scanned using a Canon Scanner via Photoshop Elements 3.0. The original was saved as a TIFF file as was the edited version which would not upload. All the other images processed this way have uploaded fine.
I haven't checked but I doubt any of them have EXIF information.

I've been trying to track down a flickr uploadr bug that makes the program crash, but where I before got it to crash with a special TIF, now it crashes a bit whenever it feels like it, unreproducable. It always seems to be when I add several photos at once though.

I have the same problem as minusbaby. When I try to upload several pictures, it uploads one, and then loses the connection. I tried both Win XP and Win 2000. I also tried the www2 server. Same result.
It could be a timeout, as my connection is high latency, but I definitely have a good connection.

I ma having the same problem as Greekvicar and Minusbababy, but additionally haven't been able to load V.1 successfully, so the 'Unable to Connect to Flickr Service, Internet Connection May Not Be Present' error message comes with V0.99. Usually one photo is loaded to my photostream even so, but I can't tell if this has happened and so frequently load duplicates and have to delete them

I'm having the same problem ppPedro describes in the first post -- I'm behind a proxy server at work and just installed Uploadr for the first time. I don't have an XP machine at home (the OS X version works nicely from there) so I can't 'merge my test settings' (not that I'm saying I'd know how if I had to). So all I get is the login window and no opportunity to enter any proxy server settings (ours requires authentication, by the way).
A shame, because I wanted to take advantage of the faster upload speeds here where I work...

Am getting some unpredictable crashes. I'm new here, so I'm uploading a lot of photos from three separate machines on my network simultaneously. Some of them work fine, sometimes uploadr crashes and wants to send info to MS. XP Pro SP2.
Also, I have an unreliable router that bombed out halfway through one set of uploads. Does uploadr have some sort of resume function or will restarting mean I've uploaded several hundred pics twice? :) Certainly had to retype tag info.
Cheers

I'm not too sure if this was discussed already, but most of the photos that I upload are larger than 5 MB and everytime I upload one I am asked about resizing. I did check out the light switch, but that doesn't give the option to never ask or always resize photos to below 5MB.
Posted 45 months ago.

I'm pretty sure that 5mb is the hard-limit for images uploaded to Flickr (there was some discussion about raising this, somewhere). I think that any time you try to upload something over that, in any manner, the system will resize upon upload. But I could be wrong...

There is a problem with the webserver configuration for the server that is distributing uploader_b7.dmg. The server reports the content type as "text/plain", but it's binary data. Some web browsers will not store this data properly, leading to an unmountable disk image.

The debugging tools didn't work for me. I am getting the "Flickr Uploadr is unable to connect to the internet. Please check your connection and try again" message. I'm using version 1.0 and Windows XP service pack 1. I'm on a university T1 line, so I know I'm connected, all the time.
I think this might be my fault because I'm a moron and created a network bridge that didn't exist and, well, long story. The point, though, is that I miss my uploadr, and if someone could help me fix it, that would rock.

One thing I have noticed is that every time I try to upload more than 30 pics in one go it crashes.
Yesterday I hade 450 pics to upload and it was plain right anoying.
Also Is the no way that the uploader could auto creat groups for your pics that you up load in one go?
As this would save a lot of time haveing to manual go and click on them one at a time afterwards.

I really miss two things. The first thing is threads! When you resize a picture I have to wait for flickr to complete the job before I can do anything else. It had been realy nice if flickr could do the resizing in a background thread.
A little bigger wish is a way to set induvidual tags/comments to each image. When I upload some images I usualy have some common tags ie. nature, flowers and there are some induvidual tags for each image. I know I can set them on the web but it's soo much faster to work with the images localy! The 3.part mac uploader looked great..

Richy, that's not a bug, it's a feature. I spent 30 min or so the other night frustrated until I realized that. Take your gifs to the website and upload them manually. :/ (or use pngs)
It'd be nice to have that documented somewhere.

I just turned pro (does that make me a MotherFlickr?), and haven't been able to upload my larger images at all.
Debugging tools are just registry changes to point to a different server...didn't do me any good. The problem is in the uploader itself.
I tried to upload 10 files that were around 950k each (1600x1200) and got the "Flickr Uploadr is unable to connect to the internet" message, but sending the same 10 files in 800x600 size (around 250k each) worked just fine. Maybe this will help your programmers pinpoint the problem.
Please fix it, cause I have around 550MB of pics from SXSW2005 to upload. Can ya email me when it's fixed?

not sure if this has been suggested. but how about making it so the flickr uploader does not remember your password unless you check a box. the last thing i want is for people who use my computer to be able to right click on images and send them to my flickr account without having to know my password.

Username for proxy server authentication only supports 6 characters.
In the proxy configuration I have the username "123456789" an password "32768". When I try to connect, the Windows Uploadr makes a POST to www.flickr.com/tools/auth.gne, with the variable Proxy-Authorization: Basic MTIzNDU2OjMyNzY4. Using a base64 decrypter I can view the username an password as 123456:32768, where the 789 part of the username is missing.

I just upgraded to Pro, and I have a backlog of about 5000 photos to upload. Unfortunately the uploadr seems to stop part way through if I try to load more than about 15 or 20 photos each time, throwing an error about a missing internet connection (my DSL connection is generally very reliable).
Problem is, the software doesn't know which ones it managed to upload, meaning I have to restart it (resulting in lots of duplicates and using up unnecessary bandwidth) or I have to check painstakingly through my stream to work out which ones loaded OK.
Does anyone know of a more reliable and/or restartable process with which to upload more than a few images at a time? I'd rather not spend the rest of this year babysitting this process. Thanks!

I can verify account ok
but the "Upload" button remains greyed out
What step am I missing to be able to upload some photos ?

It also says I've uploaded 0% of my limit this month.

Another thing about the uploader. If it can't connect to flickr it says that no internet connection is detected or something in the likes. This will likely confuse a lot of users into thinking the problem is with them. Every time I've seen this, it has been flickr being wonky. It really should say that flickr couldn't be reached instead.

I am also not able to use the Uploadr. On install it gives an error message about being unable to write to UnicoWS.dll (but why would it want to write there?), and in use it will upload one picture of a bunch and when the upload is complete will generate the error message about not having an Internet connection.
I upgraded the dll (running Windows ME on this old machine), which is not as easy as it sounds, and then ran the install again, with the same results.

I have "upgraded" to uploadr 1.0. The prevois version worked like a dream. However, this one gives me the "Internet not present" error each time.
I downloaded the debug tools and tried uploading the same photo 9 times, once with each setting. On every occasion it said internet not present. I restarted uploadr after each attempt.
However, I've just checked my photostream. Despite the fact it tells me there has been no activity on the photostream over the past seven days, there are actually 5 copies of the image I was uploading. So presumably, 5 of the settings "worked" in the sense of uploading the image, even though the user interface dialogue is very misleading.
Please fix this asap and in the meantime give us back the pre V1 uploadr!

I can't see how this couldn't have been suggested before, but would there be any way to upload directly to a photo set, or create a new one and upload to that?
It's very annoying if I upload a lot of pictures (in the hundreds), then I have to load them (the thumbnails at least) all up in the Organizr and then add them to a set.
Also, the ability to create seperate batches to upload, save them, then upload them all at once is also very useful.

Also, the uploader needs to:
- Allow for the new 10MB per picture limit.
- Stop saying you don't have internet access just because it can't reach Flickr (Has already confused a lot of users when Flickr is down.).
- Stop randomly crash
- Stop skipping pictures when uploading large amounts.

The uninstall really should delete the registry key.
I had installed the Flickr uploader on a shared computer and uninstalled when I finished.
I came back the next day and installed it again and was a little surprised to find myself automatically logged in.
Also it should probably not store the password in clear text in the registry, I´d even obscure all the field names.

In case any Windows user is jonesing for a better way to upload > 5MB images than by using the web browser upload page, Helge Hannisdal's PhotoUpload works fine. It also has some other nice benefits.
It's not as slick as Uploadr, but it also doesn't have the 5MB limit.

It would be beneficial if the uploadr could have the same options as uploading via email - namely, to automatically post photos to a blog. I prefer the drag and drop method of the uploadr to email, but it's frustrating to have to go back and post everything individually to my blog.

When I try to set another account in the uploadr settings (v1.0 on Win XP), it crashes. It occurs during e-mail typing. Any other modification, including erasing previous e-mail, doesn't crash.

I am still having the same problems with uploading using the Uploading utility and getting an error after the first image saying internet connection not available, although -strangely enough- it does upload the image! but takes few minutes to appear on line, sometimes incomplete. I am using Windows 2000 SP4 with a Sygate Pro firewall, TrendMicro virus checker.

Hmmmm, finally got round to giving this another chance. Apparently, if I switch off my firewall it works just fine. Not ideal though. Any clues what settings I should give my firewall? (Norton Internet Security).
I have it set to permit all at the moment for the uploadr app, thought that should be enough, but maybe I am missing something?

Dial-up
Downloaded latest Uploader

Now I'm in the same place as before.
=Unable to connect to the internet. Check your connection.
It was working fine.

Since I first posted that the Uploadr did not work on an old machine running WinME, I have a new machine running WinXP Pro.
Still doesn't work.
But perhaps the thread is Norton Internet Security - I have it on at all times.

Seems to be a recurring theme. As I said, if I turn my Norton Internet Security off (well the personal firewall anyway) then Uploadr works as expected.
Has anyone tested this product with Norton Internet Security I wonder? Hmmmm. :o)

Ooh, after reading this thread I disabled my Norton while uploading and I'm not having a problem! Excellent.

sillykitty: leaves you open for attack though, be careful when you do this, and don't forget to turn it back on afterwards. ;o)

With Flickr Uploadr after downloading the first picture I get an error message telling me it cannot connect but when I check it has downloaded this one photo. I tried donloading the debugging tools bu it has made no difference.

The Windows XP installer doesn't seem to be aware of user accounts. I run as a limited user so I had to use the Administrator account to install the program, but the installer put the start menu entry in Administrator's start menu instead of the All Users start menu. I had to move the entry to the All Users folder and change the permissions to make it visible to all accounts. Please fix this in the next version.

Does Uploadr support > 5MB photos yet? If not, is there a workaround for this?
I have a panorama that's 9.27MB . Uploadr doesn't like it, and when I try to upload it via the Upload web page, I get the following:
pano-despeckled2.jpg was not uploaded: File was not a recognised type or was unable to be decoded (we only support JPEG, PNG, non-animated GIF, BMP and TIFF)
It's a JPEG and it's 27855 x 2196 pixels.

I start Flickr Uploadr, type in my email and password, click Continue… And get this error:
Flickr Uploadr was unable to connect to the Internet.
Please check your connection and try again.
Maybe it’s because I am behind the firewall? How do I configure the Uploadr at this point?

I get the same error message, and I'm not behind a firewall. I don't know, but it might have something to do with the fact that my computer doesn't connect directly to the internet, it does it through a router.

ptufts: Generally speaking, panorama shots that are over 18,000 pixels wide cannot be uploaded at this time. It has something to do with how large an image is when decompressed, and the current limitations of our image processor.

Hi flickrites!
I am having the same problem prolem as GreekVicar. Has it been fixed ?
I connect to the internet via a proxy program that tunnels the http protocol (the czech software proxy+).
After each image the uploadr loses the connection. I need to remove the image from the upload collection (with the minus button) then go onto the next - it gets uploaded, then it complains about having lost the connection, I remove it, and so on and so forth.
And just as GreekVicar I have encountered the situation in the past where it just worked as it's supposed to. But that was only once (when it uploaded a whole batch in one go). Since then it's gone back to 'normal' - losing the connection after each upload.
Please fix this guys!!!!
Cheers. Fred

Same problem as Mark Derry: Upload button stays grayed out no matter what. Seems like a basic snafu, but how to actually upload photos would be great to know! Is there a step missing after photos are put in drop box?!

I got the same problem as ltfhenry under Win2K. You can drag and drop, or add, but no pictures show up and the "upload" button stays grayed out.
Also, the "add to Flickr" doesn't show when in the Explorer.
I removed/reinstalled the uploader a couple of times, rebooting every time. Same problem. I had it on my networked W2K PC, and also on the W2K PC directly connected to the Net, so it's not a question of firewalls or pr |
