It apparently uploads everything in a massive image dump, 100s at a time, presumably for editing etc in flickr. I've just left this to go to a flickr forum and I can see there that old flickr users have had probs with the uploader which is in beta btw. Looks like no-one so far has much experience with the flickr uploader. Anyway, maybe some other users of the 'new' flickr would like to chip in? Thanks guys. All I know is that every time I start my mac the flickr uploader also starts and is very insistent about starting to upload images! I should disable the thing for now 'til I decide. Sounds like a potential disaster may ensue if that happened. Jim, sounds like you think there is a risk that my published images from Lr may get mixed in with the images uploaded by flickr if I'm not careful. In other words an 'all in one' option rather than having a cloud based backup storage option (e.g. The reason I'm considering it is that copies of all my images will then be in the cloud in addition to images I keep on the mac's flash drive, on a EHD and backed up on a second EHD, and I can also use flickr's other features such as show casing my better shots. flickr says the images will be 'private' unless I say so, and so I assume that may mean flickr won't put these images in my public photo stream? I guess I'm still unclear where the flickr uploader will put my images if I use it. I too want my photos managed by Lr and would prefer the Lr to flickr publish pathway for my 'gallery' or photo stream shots. I've no experience with flickr at all yet so no idea how it will work for me. And thanks moderator Jim for making this a new thread. With LR, I can more easily select the ones I want to "unpublish" and it is an easy one click process to make it happen.Īfter all is said and done, I just have one library collection set that I need to look at and manage. Likewise, I do not like, or probably I hate, the way Flickr makes you delete uploaded photos. I can put the full processed raw file in the LR collection for Flickr, then ask it to publish - there is no extra jpeg required. And since I only put smaller jpgs up on Flickr, I don't have to create a new file via export, then ask Flickr to upload it. I preferred to keep everything managed by LR. Thus, there is a good possibility that you will end up with duplicates if you load to Flickr both ways. It (Flikr) will (should) just upload the jpegs or tiffs that you point it to, or the files you drag and drop to the upload page, not everything.Įverything will be dumped into your photostream. I looked at what it did, and decided i preferred LR. Any thoughts please? Hope this makes sense.įirst off - I use LR, and not the Flickr uploader and I also have a Win 7 machine. Now can anyone advise how this uploadr (as they call it) interacts (or doesn't) with me publishing to flickr from Lr? Will the upload tool cut across / 'bugger up' (as we say in Aus) any collection structure I have in Lr or may want to establish in publishing to my stream in flickr? Or will the upload images be kept separate from any that I publish from Lr and effectively act like a DropBox account? Does it depend on privacy settings? In summary: flickr uploadr copying images to flickr versus me publishing from Lr to flickr using a plugin. The upload tool seems to want to copy and upload all the images I have on my mac no matter where they might be. Haven't activated it yet but sounds interesting. I am currently considering flickr to host some / many / all? photos (mainly for family viewing) and I'm being prompted by flickr's upload tool to allow it to upload and store copies of my images in the flickr cloud. Thought I'd add my new aspect to this discussion if I may.
