Can't create user for Flickr

Post by robertseetzen »

Hello!

In "Upload image" (opened via "Upload on web"), XnView MP always shows "An error has occured" after I cklick on "New user...". Is there any other way to create Flickr users in XnView MP? A search for "Flickr" in this forum didn't help...

Thanks in advance!

I see now two causes:

1. (Rather improbable but still...) Your firewall/antivir is blocking this. Check your settings.

2. (Most probably) a desync caused by an API change in Flickr authentication subsystem and/or a bug in XnView side.

It should be easy for Pierre to fix this.

Same problem with XnViewMP Version 0.72 x64 (Dec 19 2014)
Is there some workaround?

Thanks,

Hi there - recent convert to XnviewMP (Linux). Wow what a program! Blows all the other programs away.
Sadly, I can't create a new user in Flickr either. I see Pierre (developer, great work!) mentioning something about an API issue. Is this being resolved any time soon?
I am working around it slowly right now by using other product to upload, but I think I'm now in love. Batch Renaming, Conversion, Thumbnailing! Yes!

This is still an issue. Is it something that will get fixed?
