Flickr "invalid auth token" on 2nd upload

Post by Amamba »

I tried to use Ligthroom for my DAM, didn't quite like it as it's a memory hog. However, since I switched from Canon to Sony Nex, I was unhappy with skin colors I was getting in LR. Just last week, I tried Photo Ninja and was so smitten with output, I decided to switch to it as my main RAW editor.

So, now I can go back to using XNView MP as my main photo orgainizing tool. I am happy to see that Upload to Flickr has been added. But I am having problems with it.

I authorize XNView, upload a photo. Next time I try to upload, it tells me "invalid auth token". I have to re-authorize to add another photo. I did clear my browser cache, and I did try installing auth token in Administrator mode. Is there a solution for this ?

BTW I use Firefox, don't know if that matters.

Thanks !

Wow, I'm overwhelmed by all the help :evil:

Anyway, no solution to this particular issue, but there's a workaround:

- Download & install Flickr Uploadr tool
- Add it to "Open with" menu

It's actually better because it allows you to specify tags, comments, and sets.

Yes, basically it only lets me upload once.

Something goofy going on with my XNView install... while it retains most user settings (themes, colors etc). it keeps losing the paths to the external editing programs.
