[digiKam-users] Help with plugin for exporting photos to facebook

[Ridolfi Simone]

Hi everyone, I have installed the 7.2 beta version of Digikam and I have
seen that it has some pkugin with which to export photos to various
social media including facebook ... I have tried to use this plugin but
it does not work gives me an error

I wanted to know if someone has had the same mistake as me and if they
have solved it ... and above all how he has solved the problem

Thanks to everyone and have a nice day

Hi,

Facebook is ... Facebook, and it rules the world.

If you want to know why this plugin doesn't work, look in this bugzilla entry :

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=182838#c36

To resume : it's not a technical issue, it due to a very long waiting
about facebook right to validate the plugin, and facebook do not
respond to team or want to sign chart/contract/etc...

We are open source, not a commercial project. This Facebook stuff is
out of space !

As i don't use, and i won't use all facebook social network (instagram
and co), personality, i don't care...

If someone has the energy and time to lost to deal with facebook, let's go...

Best

If not, why not remove the plugin?

It's not as if there's no other way to upload to whatever social media one
uses. Export to a directory on HDD and then upload to facebook comes to
mind...

(of course, the same goes for other export plugins running into this kind of
obstacles)

I think your time is much better spent on other work on Digikam, to keep its
quality as high as it is now.
