Another Flickr Publish Bug?

I have no objection to the images I upload to Flickr being accessbile to public searches.
Yet every time I publish or republish a photo, Flickr's setting ... "It is hidden from public searches" seems to get set for each image - even if I manually override for an individual image using the Flickr Web interface and then republish from LR it gets set back to this state - see below...
I have set my Flickr user profile with ...
so I don't think this behaviour is being caused by Flickr...
and I cannot see any settings at the LR Flickr Publishing settings which would cause this ...
Any help in either correcting my lack of understanding or confirming it a bug would be appreciated.
Many thanks
Alan.

I can confirm the bug in LR 3.0, it happens every time I republish.
There is at least one other annoying problem caused by republishing. If you have posted the photo into a group thread (by copying and pasting the HTML), the link from the thread back to the photo gets broken when you republish. It shows up as "This photo is currently unavailable".
I haven't downloaded LR 3.2RC yet to see if these issues have been fixed.

Lightroom 3 - Flickr Publish Bug

I am experiencing an issue where when I publish images to Flickr they immediately show up as "Modified Photos to Re-Publish" and will not ever move to the "Published" section even though I have not changed a thing.
Anyone have any ideas as to what I am missing?
Thanks!

Although not related to the original post – “Stuck in republish”, which I think is now fixed; here is my take on the situation you are describing -
I suspect there is a bug in the LR software which is still present in LR 3.4RC.
I believe this bug manifests itself in two ways when an attempt is made to republish an existing published photo …
1)      If you are privately publishing and attempt to republish an existing photo, then LR sends a parameter (“Hidden” from public searches) incorrectly and out of bounds in accordance with the Flickr API, and Flickr quite rightly rejects it.   I suspect LR is sending values of 1 or 2 (Hidden or not) for this “hidden” parameter when it should be sending 0 or 1 to the set safety level function.
2)      Probably related to the same technical reason as point 1 - if a non-private photo is republished then instead of the photo continuing to be made available in public searches it is now erroneously made hidden from public searches when it reaches Flickr – again 1 or 2 instead of 0 or 1.   This is somewhat annoying if you go through a re tagging exercise for the benefit of public searching only to find that they are now hidden from searches once re-published.
I have seen no confirmation from any other user of point 2 above despite posting the question here ...   http://forums.adobe.com/thread/796350
Further points …
Since the Lightroom Software Development Kit contains a sample of the Lua code which is used for publishing, I have pointed to the actual lines of code I suspect are in error in this thread which also contains some technical dialog with Matt Dawson a Community Professional …
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/821148?tstart=0
I have raised a bug report with this technical detail, and raised a bug report for each of the two cases I mentioned above.     Hopefully this may result in some action, but I would suggest that if this important to you that you also raise a bug report, as there appears to be, to some an extent, a principle of - they who shout loudest or most often will get priority.
As a side note … to cure the problem for the moment, although I don’t want to use third party software long term, I have adopted a Flickr publishing plugin by Friedl for my private publishing until this is fixed.    If you Google “Friedl Flickr” you will find it.     I have not yet decided to adopt this plugin for my public publish due to concern about the possibility of losing all comments and favourite tagging by other Flickr members – I simply do not know at this point.
It is also interesting that the change log for this Friedl plugin on his web site also describes being tripped up by the same peculiarity present in the Flickr API which probably gave rise to this mistake by Adobe.    The Flickr API may have its peculiarities, but it is well defined and this is a Lightroom bug in my opinion.

Unable to set up Flickr Publish Services in LR4.1

I have tried on numerous occasions and end with the same result. After I finish setting up the parameters in the Flickr Publish Services form I receive the "Lightroom needs your permission to upload images to Flickr" I click on the "Authorize" button and then I'm taken to my account within Flickr. Once i click on the "OK, I'll authorize it" button, I'm taken to: http://lightroom://com.adobe.lightroom.export.flickr/#?oauth_token=72157630835444112-9ff8c 3faeafcb667&oauth_verifier=84249d3a8099d4dd, where I get another pop up window that says "This web page cannot be displayed"
No matter what I do I cannot get the publish service to work. I had no issues with Lightroom 3.6 using the same procedure. What has changed, or what am I missing? Please help. Thanks in advance.

Hi
You will need to have different configuration in each service.bat file as the SVCNAME must be unique across multiple instances, for example:
JBoss Server 1 service.bat config:
set SVCNAME=CCP_RC
set SVCDISP=CCP - RequestCenter
set SVCDESC=JBoss instance for RequestCenter
JBoss Server 2 service.bat config:
set SVCNAME=CCP_SL
set SVCDISP=CCP - ServiceLink
set SVCDESC=JBoss instance for ServiceLink

Flickr publishing service and privacy settings

Hi,
I recently purchased Lightroom 3, and am loving it. I've played around with the Flickr publishing service, and it seems that at the moment there is a limitation in that it is not possible to specify permissions for individual photos, but rather, an overall choice for the publishing service. I usually upload an album with restrictive permissions then make some of the photos public, so I was wondering whether if I upload an album via Lightroom 3 with permissions set to 'Private', and I change the permissions on the flickr website to 'Public', then if in future I re-upload the image after modifying it, will the permissions be reset to 'Private', or will Lightroom respect any privacy settings set directly on Flickr?
Thanks for any advice,
Thomas

I don't know the answer to your specific scenario - my simple advice is "try it".
But I do have an alternate idea if you try it and find that it doesn't work as you expect.
I have 2 publish services both based on the Flickr plugin. (You can add additional ones by right-clicking on the existing Flickr publish service, and choosing [Add Another Publish Service via "Flickr"]
One's set up to upload as public, the other is set to upload as private. Under these 2 publish services I have my various photosets (public & private).
You can also use this method to support multiple Flickr accounts (family vs. business, etc)

Flickr Publish Service Error

I have used the service to upload many pictures to my account, however on my latest upload (5 photos, one of them was a virtual copy, could this be the cause of the problem perhaps?), it ended with the following dialog box:
"Can't update this collection.
An internal error has occurred: assertation failed!"
All the pictures uploaded though. I tried to upload another one to see what would happen. It did upload as well, but it also ended with the same error coming up. It's quite annoying, can someone help me please?

I worked with Gokul from Adobe support, and we eventually stumbled into the solution.
The system clock was wrong!
Based on something Friedl says on the blog for his Flickr plugin, the Flickr authentication APIs will fail if the system clock is wrong. His plugin helpfully points out that the clock is wrong when you install it. It also reports the error that he gets from the Flickr APIs: HTTP 401 (not authorized). Unfortunately, Lightroom's builtin Flickr publishing plugin doesn't report any error, and it just fails silently.
In my case, Windows appeared to be displaying the correct time, but the time zone was incorrect, and my system time was actually 3 hours ahead. I reset the clock and timezone and restarted Lightroom. Now, the builtin Flickr publish plugin is working again.

Hyperlink to another bi publisher report in 10g

I am using Bi Publisher 10g.
I want to build a bi publisher report that makes a link to another bi publisher report. I created a Hyperlink in my template and it works fine, however the url that I am using is the full path to the xdo resource and their parameters, that means my url is http://myserver:myport/xmlpserver/~Myuser/MyReport/MyReport.xdo?parameter1={parameter1}&parameter2={parameter2}. The problem is that I want to call my report from dashboard and then when I follow the link the publisher link is opened and it worked fine but I want to see the output in the same window or other window but I don't want to see the complete Bi Publisher product.
How can I build the hyperlink in order to see the detail report on a new window but without calling the complete Bi Publisher product?
Thanks!
Ramiro Ortiz

Greetings.
Problem solved. I just added the following parameter _xpt=1 to my hyperlink.
Thanks anyway

Another iPhoto 6 bug

Amusing but yet another iPhoto 6 bug (6.0.2). Boy, does this program need some work.
I created a new library, set alias on so it loads from my iView MediaPro layout, and am busy importing. In the information tab on the bottom left, it tells me its busy importing 1595 photos with a total size of 15066192772 GB. I wish.
iBook 14" 1.42 Mac OS X (10.4.3) 1.5GB

Paul:
Did it finish loading the iView files? If so check the size at the bottom. If it's still incorrect and extremely large try rebuilding the library, launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed, follow the instructions to rebuild the library, while selecting only the database option. That may clear up the problem.
I didn't note the size when I was importing my iView collection but iPhoto does reports the correct size now.

Another SQL Developer bug - End of file in comment

I found another SQL Developer bug in version 3.0.0.4.
If I try to compile some package from file (so I open file with package body in SQL Developer and assign it to some connection) with this kind of comment: /* comment */ behind end of package, I get this error
I got Error(1250,28): PLS-00111: end-of-file in commentFunny is, that when the package is compiled directly from the database - it works.
When I try to compile the package from file with this kind of comment --comment behind the end of package, it also works...

Hi, I think I finally got it. This looks like an ugly fat bug :)
First, we are not using the .sql extensions. For package specification - we use .pks. For package body - we use .pkb.
Create this script:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE TEST_xxx AS
PROCEDURE TEST_PROCEDURE;
END TEST_xxx; /*0123456789*/Now save this as e.g. "TEST.pks" file. Open this file in SQL Developer and compile it. You will get the "Error(3,27): PLS-00111: end-of-file in comment".
Now look at the result in the database -> Open the package specification from the database and you see this:
create or replace
PACKAGE TEST_xxx AS
PROCEDURE TEST_PROCEDURE;
END TEST_xxx; /*0123456789*The last slash is missing...
Now go back to the file with the package specification and delete one letter from the comment. Compile it again... it works now.
It looks like the length of this kind of comment is limited to 9 characters.
The limitation is there only when:
1) Compiling from file with different extension than .sql !!! If you rename the file to "TEST.sql", SQL Developer opens it as a script file and runs it as a script, so there is no problem with it.
2) It has to be this kind of comment: /* */. One line comments are not limited.

Flickr Publish duplicates photos shared between photosets

Photos contained in two smart photosets get duplicated in Flickr's photostream:
1. I have a smart photoset called Favorites which chooses "Picked" and "5 start"
2. I have a smart photoset call Family which chooses "Picked" and "no color label".
3. I import a photo, pick it, and give it 5 starts (no color label).
4. I click "Publish" on "Family". Uploads to photostream & marks it for inclusion in "Family" photoset.
5. I click "Publish" on "Favorites" and it uploads it *again* to photostream and marks the new distinct photo for inclusion in "Favorites" photoset.
This last one should read:
5 I click "Publish" on "Favorites" and it notices the file has already been uploaded to photostream and simply updates "Favorites" photoset to include photo.
Anyway, hoping there's a workaround that allows me to keep using smart photosets.
(This problem is also described here. I reposted to have a clearer topic title)

Publish bug Cap4 (0KB)

We have observed a publishing bug which results in .htm files of 0KB on multiple machines publishing different projects.
Often, Cap4 simply does not complete the publishing operation and just hangs w/o ever show the "View Ouput" option and green checkmark.
Reboots don't fix it, but if I keep at it, eventually I can get a project to publish after multiple reboots. I typically use Flash 8 but I have the bug with 8, 9, or 10.
We'll keep recording this bug in our logs, but we have only ever observed it in Cap4.
thanks,
Jon

I believe I spoke too soon. After further testing, I encountered the problem again and am unable to figure out the root cause of the problem. The problem may be due to the webkit-tap-highlight being added to the div tag. I am still seeing the problem when nesting text inside a square inside edge animate. However, I don't see it consistently and I have no idea where the webkit-tap-highlight is originating from.
Has anyone else encountered this issue when publishing in Edge Animate?

Flickr Publish Service Colour Space

I've read a couple of threads about setting colour spaces when exporting, including this thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2942130#2942130
For many years I've used Photoshop Elements as my main editing software. The images that I've edited in PSE and then uploaded to Flickr using Flickr Uploadr all show the colour space as sRGB when I look up the EXIF data on Flickr.
Since I've started using LR 3, I've noticed that the images published to Flickr from the LR Flickr publish service don't show any colour space when I look up the EXIF data in Flickr. I can't see anything in the Flickr publish service settings that allows me to embed a colour space.
What colour space are the published images in? Am I missing a step somewhere in LR?

Thanks for taking the time to reply and for the very helpful information.
I'm aware of Jeffrey Friedl's plugin and I might eventually go that way, but for the moment I'm just trying to understand the built in publish service.
I didn't have the Hard Drive publish service set up, so I did that with sRGB as the colour space and Minimize Metadata unchecked. I checked the settings for the Flickr publish service, Minimize Metadata was also unchecked there. The ability to set a colour space is definitely present in the Hard Drive publish service but absent from the Flickr publish service.
After doing those things, I published some more photos to Flickr, again no colour space when I view the EXIF in Flickr. I still don't know whether no colour space is embedded, or whether sRGB is embedded but undisclosed.

How to control photo sort order in flickr publish folder

Using LR 5.3 and trying to control the sort order of photos in a Publish folder (Flickr). When I drag-and-drop the photos, they never end up in the location indicated by the dark black bar that appears under the mouse cursor. Usually appear within 5 or 6 places of the dropped location, but sometimes up to 20 places away from the dropped location. Futzing with the location sometimes gets them closer, but not always. It's very frustrating. I've seen comments about certain restrictions for manual sorting (e.g. not feasible in Smart Collections), but no specific reference to sorting in a Publish service. Is there a way to put the photos into the exact order that I want in a Flickr Publish folder? (Note: drag and drop does not work correctly... that's the problem).

Click the Action icon > show view options > Arrange by none > sort by name.

Can the Flickr Publish Service upload to existing Sets?

When publishing photos to Flickr, can I specify the photo to be put in a specific set within Flickr, i.e., photo publishes to my photostream and I want to place the photo into my "Ravelry set?"
How can I accomplish this or do I have to manually go into Flickr and add the photo to a specific set?
Thank you
Message title was edited by: Brett N

Not to confuse things by contradicting Brett, but I just tried this, and it works fine for me. Payne1904, try this:
1. Set up your Flickr publish service in Lightroom.
2. In the header of the Publish Services panel in Lightroom, click the "+" button and in the Flickr section, choose "Create Photoset".
3. Name the Photoset the exact name of the existing Photoset that you want the photos to go into.
4. Add photos to the Photoset in Lightroom, and click "Publish".
The photos will be added to the existing Photoset on Flickr. Let me know if this doesn't work.

FB3 Beta 3 - another organize imports bug

I'm getting lucky :-) Here is another organize imports bug in
FB3 Beta3...
If you have some simple hierarchy where base class defines
public (or protected) method, and sub class tries to override this
method you will encounter this bug. Let say that base class looks
like this:
package test {
import flash.display.Shape;
public class BaseClass extends Shape {
public function BaseClass() {
public function myMethod():void {
trace("In BaseClass.myMethod()");
and that sub class looks like this
package test {
public class SubClass extends BaseClass {
public function SubClass() {
super();
Now, if you try to override myMethod() from BaseClass and
start typing in subclass something like
override public function m
and use Ctrl+Space, FB will insert appropriate method but it
will also insert errorneous import statement like this:
import test.BaseClass.myMethod;
So you will end up with sub class which looks like following:
package test {
import test.BaseClass.myMethod;
public class SubClass extends BaseClass {
public function SubClass() {
super();
override public function myMethod():void {
Wrong import is correctly marked as error but issuing
"organize import" does not remove it so it must be removed
manually.
Regards,
Damir Murat
PS: Sorry for bad code formatting but there is no option for
inserting in-line code and attach code is a little bit
awkward.

Damir Murat,
Did you already file a bug for this? If not, would you mind
adding it to the public bug base so we can track the issue.
Thanks,
Peter

Flickr Publishing "something wrong with 'cryptunprotectdata'"
