While I ponder

[pecunium]

I am trying to digest the shooting in SF. For reasons personal I am not likely to watch the video (it's not that I'm squeamish, I just dislike seeing people killed).

In the meanwhile I've tried the uploading tool for Flickr. Meh. It truncates the photo info. Since I like having the photo info that's a "war stopper" for me. Which sucks, because I like all the other features. The ability to see the images (so I don't have to recall which file = which name), is great. Being able to edit the tags, descriptions, etc. before I upload things; so they aren't up there for all to see before I to all that, also really nice.

Being able to post to more than one set at a time is wonderful (because I am sort of lazy. At five-ten minutes per photo to get them uploaded, tagged, and described, going in and taking more time to sort them into sets, one set at a time, is just more hassle).

So, I either need to figure out a way to edit the data, so it does upload, or use the tool as a way to get the order right, so I can use the default tool flicker has.

That, or stop publishing shooting data.

Thoughts?

The Bart thing is pretty sad. I'm currently in Minneapolis visiting friends (I live in San Francisco). While reviewing some of the news information from said event, a friend here noted that he remembered Bart having security cameras. I found it rather interesting and odd that I can state from memory the location of the cameras at that station and how they're not going to contain any views of what happened, at least the important parts.

I've been skimming through most of your posts since I've subscribed to your lj, have you by chance posted a "This is my photo workflow" entry?

Sounds like it may be an error in the base JPEG library the program is built on, or they just didn't build it to read all the data fields on the image. Which is kinda sad; an Open Source program certainly wouldn't have these flaws past the first release, because half or more of its users would complain.
