Talk:Flickr2commons/version 1
Message, Invalid photo ID
Trying to use the new version: Repeatedly get a "Bad photo ID" pop-up when I use the standard URL for a single photo -- which works fine on the old version. ??? TIA, Tillman (talk) 17:37, 19 November 2012 (UTC) Reply
- This is a continuing problem, especially now that the old version has disappeared. Same problem as described above: the specific message is "Photo not found", for a valid Flickr URL. Since Bryan's Flickrbot is also broken, this is a major obstacle! TIA for any help, Tillman (talk) 15:46, 30 August 2013 (UTC) Reply
- An example URL would be nice... --Magnus Manske (talk) 10:32, 2 September 2013 (UTC) Reply
- The problem was, it wasn't clear that you are only to use the "bare" Flickr photo ID# rather than the entire URL (as was used in the previous version). Making this explicit on the form would be helpful. TIA, Tillman (talk) 21:22, 9 September 2013 (UTC) Reply
- Added a bit. Other users may want to add directions for the other upload options. --Tillman (talk) 01:25, 10 September 2013 (UTC) Reply
Categories
Could you add an option to not add automatically any categories to transfered photo? Just the ones that I select, not Flickr tags. Dudek1337 (talk) 22:36, 18 December 2012 (UTC) Reply
Slow
Today, after 01:30 trying, I managed to upload one image. It just takes forever to connect. What’s wrong? Tuvalkin (talk) 16:09, 27 February 2013 (UTC) Reply
- I didn't change anything. If it is slower than usual, or failing, it is most likely a problem with the toolserver (or, less likely, Flickr). --Magnus Manske (talk) 16:13, 27 February 2013 (UTC) Reply
Feature request
"Max. pictures" is a good idea, but the tool should be able to browse to the "next 50" etc. For larger sets, the tool is hardly usable this way. --AndreasPraefcke (talk) 09:42, 2 April 2013 (UTC) Reply
Bug?
"Add to every description" does not do anything at all. --AndreasPraefcke (talk) 15:11, 2 April 2013 (UTC) Reply
Some images just won't work
I love the tool (old and new version), but sometimes it just won't work, regardles how often and when you try (and I've tried numerous times for days now). Example: http://www.flickr.com/photos/44112235@N04/8598254378 always produces a result that looks perfectly good (in v1) but there is no upload; and in version 2 there's a red field with "Transfer failed : Upload error" (without further explanation) instead of the usual green field with the link to the new file. What prevents the tool from uploading this? (and everything else in this FlickR set?) Licenses and files seem perfectly o.k. to me. Other uploads work just fine (or at least at second try). --AndreasPraefcke (talk) 15:11, 2 April 2013 (UTC) Reply

Output of upload bot
The image should now be at Lorenz_Maroldt_(8598254378).jpg. Edit the new description page.[[Image:Lorenz Maroldt (8598254378).jpg|thumb|Lorenz Maroldt (8598254378).]]
Now check the new image has good categories!
It's not there, though. --AndreasPraefcke (talk) 11:03, 5 April 2013 (UTC) Reply

Unable to use the tool because it fails when I click "Register TUSC account"
"Register TUSC account" goes to a Bad Request page. http://tools.wmflabs.org/~magnus/tusc.php Is this still a usable tool? If not, is there a good alternative for moving groups of files from flickr to wiki commons? Please advise, Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 19:38, 10 June 2013 (UTC) Reply
Mass-edit title
The tool works like a charm, lately. It is particularly useful because it automatically chooses a unique filename (unlike UploadWizard which just crashes) and it checks for duplicates (though not via hash yet) unlike all the other tools, however there is still one thing missing (which I love in Vicuña Uploader) i.e. the possibility to mass rename. Just uploading numbered photos is not particularly appreciated; I would need something as simple as adding a prefix to all filenames. --Nemo 08:13, 18 August 2013 (UTC) Reply
File Overwrite.
When an image is transferred from Flickr to Commons is F2C able to overwrite a Commons' file of the same name? Saffron Blaze (talk) 04:16, 22 September 2013 (UTC) Reply
"Transfer failed : 500 Internal Server Error"
Tool doesn't seem to be working today, returning this error message on several trials. --Tillman (talk) 19:39, 13 October 2013 (UTC) Reply
- Working again, as of this AM --Tillman (talk) 19:14, 16 October 2013 (UTC) Reply
I have some troubles with this new flickr interface
Can this picture be uploaded? I think so but the tool keeps telling me that I'm wrong. Thank you. --Luckyz (talk) 12:02, 18 October 2013 (UTC) Reply
- It's possible that the page was already uploaded and deleted: there is no freedom of panorama in Italy and that's a recent building. I don't remember if the hash matching checks deleted files too. --Nemo 20:08, 26 October 2013 (UTC) Reply
Flinfo issue 3
I’m getting this error «Flinfo issue 3», repeatedly, with different images and settings. What does it mean?, what should I do? Tuvalkin (talk) 01:07, 20 November 2013 (UTC) Reply
Upload sets
There are problems when uploading sets. It uploads all the photos from a user not just a single set. And it also don't give automatically the ID number of a user when the username is insert.--SunOfErat (talk) 15:33, 20 December 2013 (UTC) Reply
