Feature request: upload photo descriptions from .picasa.ini

[and7ey]

Could you please modify the script to upload photo descriptions from .picasa.ini? (hopefully, the script will be able to upload it for already uploaded photos too)

Thanks in advance!

This request is similar to importing the favorites from picasa.ini files. When or if we end up parsing picasa.ini files, I'll consider this request.

Sorry, I haven't found similar open issue.

Sorry for my ignorance; I have lot's of pictures on my Synology NAS organized in folders.
When I use flickr-uploader, is there any way I can have it create Albums in Flickr based on the folders on my NAS? Running flickr-uploader now all my pics get a tag based on the folder they came from, so I can probably do 'something' in Flickr to sort them into Albums based on tags (I'm new to Flickr, came from Picasa), but it would be really cool if it could be done during the upload...
Otherwise a great tool!
Minor suggestion: add ".thumbnails" to the default set of files to ignore...

Hi, script is creating albums (sets) in Flickr based on folders, it is method createSets() which is used and called just before adding tags, so it is weird you have tags but no sets :s
Can you uncomment line 969 (#flick.displaySets()) and run script again to display the albums infos you have in your database?

Sure, I'll try that in a moment!

Hm, I need to continue later today. Tried to delete all 21 thousand photos (lots of thumbnails...) that had been uploaded, but the Flickr server appears to not like such big jobs.
So I'll probably just delete my entire account and start over, with a new API key etc.
But first the wife needs me to do stuff outside ;-)

Sorry for the delay, something came up.
But I just tried again with the uncommented line 969, but doesn't seem to help.
Here's a screenshot of the meta info for one of the recently uploaded images, you see that your brilliant script adds both the "auto-upload" tag and a tag with the name of the local (NAS) folder - the last one is what I would like to have created as an album in flickr but it doesn't happen, all pics go into my photostream.
I cancelled the script, would it make any difference to let it run through all my pics and videos?

Hi,
Line 969 was just to add some logs in the result, not to fix it.
You have to let the script finish if you want albums to be created in Flickr.
I reviewed code of the script and in fact tags are given during the upload of each file, not after (but there is a method after to tag files if they were not tagged...), then after all files are uploaded, albums are created.

OK, thanks!
Then I'll restart the script (I've deleted the db file to start from scratch) and let it run to the end (will probably take 24 hours or more - I have lots of photos and videos).
