Hi,
just installed Opus 9.002 on my Xppro x64 System. I saw the new version should be able to comunicate with Flickr. During installation I have made a successful Flickr installation, howerver I don´t find any Flickr sync option in Opus and nothing in configuration window that gives a hint to flickr. I learned some hour ago that the repacement of explorer is disabled for 64 bit systems due to problems - is it the same with flickr ?
Or do I have to use another program ( read something about a program that makes upload possible by explorer) first ?
How to get my flickr account on one side and my local folder on the other side of opus ?
It's not hard to find:
[ol][li]Open an Opus lister.[/li]
[li]Select Help -> Help (or press F1) to open the manual.[/li]
[li]Click on the Search tab and type Flickr.[/li][/ol]
There are also links to the manual in HTML (for reading over the web) and PDF (for printing) formats on GPSoft's website. The PDF manual is linked in the Downloads and Docs sections while the HTML manual is linked in the Docs section. If you have Opus installed then you already have the best version of the manual (unless you want to print it out) there on the F1 key.
Thank you - finally I found the docs - I admit I missed looking at the GPsoft page, as I´m buying my version from the German partner who doesn´t have a translated manual yet. But again run into the same thing - the how to is explained, however no word that these options are NOT AVAILABLE on a 64 bit system. Meanwhile found in the FAQ here that 64 bit system is not supported. However no defenite statement if it will be supported some time or not. Any knowledge about it ? Meanwhile I think I should have stayed with my good old 8 Version which worked fine on the 64 bit machine. The new release seems to cause a lot of trouble to me and I wasted some money if the 9 version won´t be adapted to 64 bit systems at any time ....
[quote="nudel"]Where are you getting the assumption that Flickr support won't work on 64-bit Windows from?
The manual doesn't say anything about Flickr support on 64-bit Windows because it should work and there's nothing to say.
Just because one thing (Explorer Replacement) is currently disabled on 64-bit Windows doesn't mean anything else is.[/quote]
I suppose the flickr support is based on explorer support as I don´t have those photo sharing entries in opus preferences either - just the same as explorer replacement....
[quote="jon"]Sorry? I'm not quite sure where this confusion is coming from.
If you're using Opus 8, there is no Flickr support at all.
If you're using Opus 9, there is a section labelled "Photo Sharing" in Preferences, and a section in the Help file that describes how to use it.[/quote]
Ok once again to clarify:
I have upgraded fron Opus 8 to 9 - so 9.002 is the version I´m talking about.
First machine I did is my new 64 bit XP one. On this machine I have no explorer replacement - I have read the FAQ now and know, there are problems with it. BUT as well I don´t have the photo sharing option in Opus 9 preferences on this machine. Though there had been a flickr syncronisation during installation ... (wizard)
As I have my permanent licence today I tried to xcheck things on my laptop - it is 32 bit. There has been no wizard to sync with flickr, however I have the photo sharing option in preferences now on this laptop. And with this option I could sync with flickr - almost. My acount is found and acknowleged but when I wanted to download the pics from there, I get a message "temporary moved" and no pic has been downloaded. I´ll try to find out if I find something in the manual about it. I don´t dare to try an upload as I have to understand the structure in the new created folder first to get pics to the correct place as the only thing happend as I tried to sync was another new folder within my new created one ...
you are quick ist spotting - saw it on the screenshot now (therefor removed the shot ) but quite sure it hasn´t been there any longer during further research. I´ll check it immediately when I´m home again. Still having this 302 error temporary moved on pics I want to have downloaded. I have some of the pics here on the laptop, so the adding to the collection via identification works fine - however can´t download pics I have there on flickr but not on my laptop. any idea why ?
don´t get it - the one just causing the error is one of these I synced manually as it is here on my laptop. It is in the collection already. Don´t understans anything anymore
[quote="jon"]Ok, I see the problem. It seems like Flickr have changed their API slightly with regards to downloading the original version of an image.
We will try to have a fix out for this in a day or two.[/quote]
Thanks a lot for your efforts - and you have been right, on my 64 bit system flickr can be accessed as well. Looked in the wrong place as to the wisard´s action I suppoed it to be somewhere in the menu. I reconnected to flickr again from the preferences and I´m as far as on my laptop now, waiting for a solution of yours. Wonder if this account remains available now. I have been an administrator every time when playing around with my new opus ...
sorry - it is not fixed for me. Any other actions to be done except installing 9.003 ?
There is a difference now: I have searched the first two pics by hand - and they are acceped now, but as I want to sync, I get the very same error window on the third picture and it is not downloaded....
