Description Victor Engmark 2013-05-26 14:30:10 UTC

I was able to upload exactly once using the Flickr Export plugin. On subsequent uses it fails with the message "Failed to upload photo into Flickr. Do you want to continue?" Whether I click OK or Continue doesn't seem to make a difference, but I'm returned to the Flickr Export interface again with no changes. I've successfully re-authenticated using "Use a different account", but that doesn't help. Restarting the application doesn't help.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a photo
2. Go to Export -> Export to Flickr...
3. Click Start Uploading
Actual Results:  
A window with the message "Failed to upload photo into Flickr. Do you want to continue?"

Expected Results:  
OK message and image on Flickr

Comment 1 Victor Engmark 2013-05-26 15:06:15 UTC

After restarting digiKam *and* selecting a different JPEG image, it once again worked. No idea why.

Comment 2 caulier.gilles 2013-05-26 16:44:07 UTC

Not reproducible here. I use flickr a lots. It's probably a network disconnection

Don't forget that Yahoo has refresh Flickr web site recently. I think it's a side effect of flickr update...

Comment 3 Kevin Dalley 2013-06-29 21:34:36 UTC

I see this problem frequently when I try to load the same image a second time. The latest failure was on a png file.

Comment 4 jon33040 2014-04-23 19:32:33 UTC

Me too on this. 
The only fix i've found is to wait - typically more than 24 hours.
I've had tcpdump running while doing it and digikam doesn't even seem to be accessing the network. This sounds like a digikam bug to me.

Comment 5 Volker Lerch 2014-06-28 21:46:20 UTC

I have been experiencing a similar behaviour since today.

Actions I performed:
1. Choose picture to upload
2. Open kipi flickr upload window.
3. kipi modules tells me that the token is not valid any more and asks me if I like to receive a new token. I answer with "yes".
4. "Unknown error" returned to frontend
5. "Frob" window opens, but stops at 50% progress bar.
6. I try to modify the user, But again, "Frob" window.


What I already did in order to remediate the fault, but without success:

1. I already deleted the api_key on my flickr account.
2. I deleted all files from /tmp and restarted the system
3. From /home/my_user_account/.config/Trolltech.conf , i deleted line
usr\lib64\kde4\kipiplugin_flickrexport.so=40805, 0, x86_64 linux g++-4 full-config, 2013-10-21T17:55:29   
4. I deletet the webbrowser cache completely.
5. I Deleted flickr chapter from
/home/vlerch/.kde4/share/apps/kcookiejar/cookies

Comment 7 jon33040 2014-06-29 08:25:07 UTC

The new failure is addressed in Bug 336835 - cannot export to flickr anymore.
Please do not close this issue as the original failure mode (see posts 1-4) is still there.
The only work-around i've seen for the original failure mode is to reboot the PC - although calling that a work-around is stretching things a little.

Comment 8 caulier.gilles 2014-09-08 06:48:51 UTC

This file still valid using last digiKam 4.2.0 ?

Note: bug #336835 is fixed.

Gilles Caulier

Comment 9 jon33040 2014-09-08 07:23:13 UTC

I've seen it recently and can conform it's independent of #336835. I'll check on 4.2.0 tonight but I have to install 4.2.0 first.

Comment 10 jean-pierre cartal 2014-09-11 10:15:24 UTC

I confirm that this problem is still present in version 4.2.0.

I get quite often the message "Failed to upload photo into Flickr. Do you want to continue?"

Moreover as there is no option to make the choice (continue/cancel) persistent for all upcoming errors, it is not possible to perform big unattended uploads

Comment 11 caulier.gilles 2015-05-10 09:05:17 UTC

Problem still reproducible with kipi-plugins 4.9.0 ?

Gilles Caulier

Comment 12 Shourya Singh Gupta 2015-05-14 21:30:58 UTC

This problem does not seem to be valid anymore.

Comment 13 Bill Prout 2015-12-26 03:07:54 UTC

On Version 4.14.0, I'm getting the "failed" error trying to export to flickr.
After some experimenting, I found that it will upload only if I check (on the Upload Options tab) either "Send original file (no resizing)"  or "Resize photos before uploading".  
No checks gives the failed message.
Cheers
