Also, thank you for the compliment. I’m really excited about 0.8, which I think is a marked improvement over 0.7

It was the only app that I could find for linux that seems to handle the new authentication API. AFAIK thats probably not a problem for those using flickr prior to recent changes that force you to now log in through yahoo and I fall into that category. Just wondering though do you intend to release the source, didn't see a link for it on sourceforge. anyway keep up the great work Noel Hi,

I have also tried leaving a browser window open (Iexplorer and Firefox) and logged in, but with no success. I don't know what could be broken in my PC that it doesn't open the authorize window, which I think would be the next step after pressing the authorize button. There's a dialog box that appears after the "invalid email address or password", I press cancel and it says: "Couldn't read the response from flickr". Using the official flickr uploadr, I have succesfully authorized my account, even when changing my username nick. thanks. (there's my e-mail) Hi again, I tried both prior versions, 0.6 and 0.5 but

There’s a dialog box that appears after the “invalid email address or password”, I press cancel and it says: “Couldn’t read the response from flickr”.

In 0.7, you can't edit your settings without authorizing first, so that explains crash if you enable proxy settings. As for the not being able to authorize, I really don't have any idea why you can't connect, but you should at least get a dialog box explaining the authorization process before you get any errors. Have you sucessfully authorized before? Also, you didn't include your actual email address in your post, which causes two problems. 1. You need to be approved to post 2. I can't help you via email. If you post again, make sure to include your actual email, you won't get spam, as it's not displayed on the site at all. Ok, you’re actually experiencing two bugs.

I do the steps: - Drag picture - go to edit > settings > Account - press the authorize button and I get this message: "Invalid email address or password" on a small error window and if I put a proxy address and click ok, the program abruptly exits.

I do the steps:

- Drag picture
- go to edit > settings > Account
- press the authorize button

and I get this message:
“Invalid email address or password”
on a small error window

and if I put a proxy address and click ok, the program abruptly exits.

I also installed from the flickr homepage the official uploadr (oddly that one works).

thanks

All you need to do is go to Preferences ->Account and press the large button marked 'Authorize jUploadr'. Follow the instructions in the pop-up windows, and you'll be all set in three clicks.

It does a lot for you, and it'll do even more in the near future. I aim to give Linux users (actually, it runs on every major OS) a tool that's better than the flickr uploader. So far, I say it's on par with theirs, as it's missing a couple of features, but seems to handle their own login API better than their own tool. Deepak:

The good news is that I can read EXIF tags. The bad news is that I can't write them... yet. R.B. Boyer: I could indeed make that an option. You should submit a feature request on jUploadr’s home page
