Description Martin Senftleben 2019-10-13 07:48:24 UTC

SUMMARY
Before uploading images to flickr, I set the tool to restrict views to family members. When I open the uploaded images and check the access rights, the images are visible to everybody and not just family members. So I have always to change access rights for those uploaded images after uploading them, which is not only awkward. Some images may be sensitive, and being public for even a second may become harmful to the persons depicted on the images.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. select images for exporting to flickr and select the export to flickr tool
2. change visibility setting to "visible to family only" (or similar, I use a different language than English)
3. upload the images
4. check in flickr the access rights to the images

OBSERVED RESULT
images are visible to everybody on flickr

EXPECTED RESULT
images are visible to only familiy members on flickr

I can not reproduce the problem here. The "Family" or "Friends" setting is correctly transferred to Flickr.

The same for me. I just checked with my account and it work as expected (git/master code). I do it from France, so the Flickr target server is certainly different than your.

Comment 3 Martin Senftleben 2019-10-13 16:20:55 UTC

Is there a way to figure out what could be the reason? I do not know where the target server is set, but it would be strange, I think, if flickr uses different ways of accepting fotos just because there is a different server involved. I have this problem for a long time (years) and only now thought it might be good to open a bug report (I'd always hoped for a silent fix). But if it's only me who has the problem, I need to get to the bottom of it and some guidance on how to do that. Thanks!

Comment 4 Martin Senftleben 2019-10-13 16:30:10 UTC

Just an addition, maybe it is really my fault:

I use the "organize your fotos" option i flickr to check the access rights. This I do by moving the images from the bottom where all images are shown and drag them into the area "arrange your fotos" or similar. Then I check "Rights" and see that the images which I moved into that area have the right "visible to everybody". Consequently I set the rights to "family only". When I do the same procedure later with the same fotos, the images have the "family only" access right.
Did you follow the same procedure? If not, could you check this? Maybe it's a bug within flickr? Then I would report to them.

Comment 5 Maik Qualmann 2019-10-13 16:57:02 UTC

Yes, with the "Organize" I can confirm. I see that more as a change of rights, which always stands for "public". You can test it easily, change it to "family". Now "Organize" the image for a second time, it's back to "Public". For me, a Flickr bug.

Comment 6 Maik Qualmann 2019-10-13 20:46:08 UTC

If you look after uploading the images in the preview in the information under the image, there is the correct rights. Even if you select "Show for... Family" in the photo stream, the correct images will be displayed. I close the bug for digiKam, if necessary open it again.
