Created attachment 103134 [details] Patch to add option to upload the original file to Flickr The same missing feature that prompted #212106 has re-appeared in Digikam 5.3 (I upgraded from 4.4 to 5.3 so not sure exactly where it got lost). The problem is that when uploading to flickr, all images are re-compressed as (lossy) JPEGs, even if they are already in JPEG format. I want to upload the JPEG files I have, so that Flickr Pro acts as one of my backup locations. I have re-done Stanislav Ochotnicky's patch against current (5.4.0) git and this is working. The same limitations as before apply, chiefly that it doesn't do anything intelligent if you try to upload and image in a format which Flickr doesn't support. This is not however an issue for most users.
I want to add the patch after the digiKam-5.4.0 release. The CheckBox original should be the first option. The others must then be deactivated. Maik
