Comments on: Apple iPhoto 09 Flickr integration is bad, very bad http://www.crazymcphee.net/x/2009/02/27/apple-iphoto-09-flickr-integration-is-bad-very-bad/ programming idiom and methodology Tue, 24 Aug 2010 08:56:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Gavin http://www.crazymcphee.net/x/2009/02/27/apple-iphoto-09-flickr-integration-is-bad-very-bad/comment-page-1/#comment-82 Gavin Sat, 28 Feb 2009 00:48:17 +0000 http://www.crazymcphee.net/x/?p=205#comment-82 I totally agree with you there Scot. I was really excited when the new Flickr up-loader was announced for iPhoto 09. I even decided to upgrade my Flickr account to pro so i could upload all of my 35GB worth of photos onto Flickr. When i upload through iPhoto 09 it takes forever and every time i re-open iPhoto it is continuously syncing with Flickr. The worst part is (which i find really annoying) If you then decide to delete them from your events folder or pics folder (thinking they are safe being uploaded onto flickr via iPhoto) think again because if you want to delete them it will then sync back to your Flickr account, now come on someone please prove me wrong on this point- Is the a setting on either Flickr or iPhoto so this doesn’t happen? What i want it to do is, upload them then be able to delete them off my HD so i have a backup online and nicely organised. I really thought Apple were onto something good here with intergrading Facebook and flickr into iPhoto 09. Obviously not. I totally agree with you there Scot.

Sometimes - and I can't discern the actual rule - if you update title, tags, and description on Flickr, the changes will make their way back to iPhoto. But only sometimes ... and not in any apparently easily comprehensible rule. (<strong>update</strong> - I comprehended the rule: you have to change the photo's tags on Flickr, then all changes to title and description will propagate back to iPhoto) Here’s another WTF with it.
