Flickr uploader...doesn't work as as it should

Hi
I am using digikam 0.9.2-final (KDE 3.5.8) on kubuntu 7.10, 64  bit machine.
Kipi Library version 0.1.5.

One of the things I really liked with the newer versions of digikam is the
possibility to batch export lots of images to Flickr. I like this because I
have a plan of moving to 2 other countries within the next three years, and
the last time I moved to another country my entire cargo including all my
original stored copies and backups was sent to the wrong side of our planet.
After spending several months at sea, only 1 of my computers worked upon
arrival in the US, and that was only after I replaced the motherboard...

So, I learned that sending my valued photos to a web service for storage and
also for sharing with friends, amy be well worth it.

I have now configured the flickr account and all worked well for a while, but
when I finally got to the point were I had tagged a lot of images in and was
ready to upload "the major batch" it appears that a problem between the
authentication mechanisms in flickr and digikam flickr uploader has come into
existence. i don't know why, but maybe there has been a change in the flickr
api?

The error message says: "Error Occured: Invalid signature"
We can not proceed further.

Does anybody have a good solution/workaround for this problem? This is my
backup solution and having seen all my pictures nearly go down the drain
once, I have realized it is important for me to get this up and running as
soon as possible.

Are there currently any development on the plugin?

I ran into this not too long ago.  I did not find the exact cause, but it
seemed to be related to a tag or EXIF information.  I had an image I tried to
send and got the same message.  I fooled around with the image, and
eventually removed the EXIF information and the tags.  I was then able to
upload the image.  So if you have edited the EXIF, and changed to a
non-standard value you may look there.  Otherwise, look at the tags.

Sorry I don't remember the exact details, but one of those two steps cleared
the problem for me.

Hi,


I found the existence of the following characters in a digikam comments or exif comments field to cause the
'invalid signature' error.

- a 'space' character after the last line in the comments field
- a 'enter' character after the last line in the comments field
- a diacritic sign (e.g. a cedille) in the comments field

Regards,
Jeroen
