thanks for the helpful tips here. I've got a home improvement blog that I work extremely hard on like you do here. My efforts tend to lean towards more general topics and hopefully give high level answers for what folks are looking for.

Re: Change #025. If your FlickrFan stopped updating

he wealth of applications on a modern Linux system is phenomenal, but sifting through screen after screen of menu items is no fun. Likewise, it's convenient to have all of your files in one place, but the more you have the longer you have to look for the one you need. Blacktree software's free Quicksilver Mac OS X utility won over users by letting them start typing the name of the file or app they need, and popping up the best matches in a launcher. Quicksilver went open source recently, but you don't have to wait for a port to start using it on your Linux machines. Two clones already exist: Katapult for KDE (which we looked at in July) and the newest competitor, GNOME Do.willliam from free insurance quots company.

Dave - is there a way to add a prefix to pics that publish in twitter?

I just want to make sure folks know that the message is from flickr, since I am also sending other feeds into twitter. Some are actually from me and some are auto from feeds.

Example Twttr message:

(flickr) just took this photo <tiny url="">

Just as an update... I installed FlickrFan on a different machine today and encountered the same issue with uploads.

Hi Dave,
I just started testing this out and am really enjoying it. I've encountered a weird bug when uploading to Flickr. The images are not being deleted from the my chosen directory and thus are posting to flickr over and over. Any suggestions or is this just a bug?

Hi Dave,

How do I configure FlickrFan to download my private photos? I do not see a way to input my password.

Thanks!

Thanks Dave and "hisherness". I got it. If I'd seen the post on the 21st all would have been clear....

Read the blog posts on the 21st.

Basically I wanted a tool that could both send short items to Twitter and output an RSS feed that could be plugged into FriendFeed and other similar services. That way when there's an outage my stream will continue in other venues. I'm not as dependent on Twitter this way.

Bill,

I wasn't paying much attention, so I may be wrong, but it looks like this is a utility providing a single point from which to send a tweet via Twitter and simultaneously (well, not actually, but I can't think of another word at the moment) archive and broadcast it independently of Twitter (broadcast via RSS). So, if Twitter fails, the user of the utility is still accessible in a tweetlike manner, and the archive of the user's tweets is also available should Twitter go past failure to crash and burn.

I think. I didn't try it.

Help.
Dave. I'm just a garden variety journalist, trying to stay afloat, who stumbled across the Cluetrain Manifesto a couple years back, got knocked off his horse and have been tracking your ideas since then. I've re-read the post twice now - AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE DOING. (Sorry for the all caps).
I know what OPML is. I use RSS daily. I've been using Twitter for a year. And I have a general understanding of what Amazon's web services are doing for people. But I can't see what they heck you're trying to build when you mash them together.
Take pity on a nerd who never made it to geek, would you? Try telling us/me in simple English what a Twitter Outliner does....

I agree. I was just looking to see if FlickrFan did this.

Hi, under FlickrFan prefs I checked the "limit the number of pictures in the screen saver folder" option, but when I look in my FlickFan screensaver folder I see that my pictures aren't limited to the amount I put in and the folder keep growing. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks for your reply Dave!

Very special. The problem is solved automagically:
I did not change any setting since I placed the reaction and asked for help here.
However now almost immediately after I 'pushed' a picture via FlickrFan to flickr a tweet appeared in my Twitter stream: http://twitter.com/fzelders...

Great!

I can't help without more information. How about reading the posts below and see if they offer any clues, and if not, post some details, links to feeds, etc.

Hey Dave, Interesting feature!

However ... not able to get the FlickrToTwitter functionality up and running :-(
Pictures uploaded by PhotoFan to Flickr worked fine. They are tagged properly...
... no Twitter/Tweet however. All preferences set properly.

Twitter from OPML editor (using today's Outline window) works well.

Conclusion: Flickr account AND Twitter account settings are correct.

Hope you can help!

Eager as I was, I did the update through the link and then got somewhat confusing messages:

http://www.flickr.com/photo...
but also:
http://www.flickr.com/photo...

The prefs page still looked the old way, but restarting OPML editor did the trick :-)

Here's a screen shot of what the new Prefs page is supposed to look like.

Cool! Thanks again!

Okay this tells me all I need to know. You don't have the new version of the prefs. Let me try pushing it out again and you'll certainly get it by the top of the hour.

You can get all the updates right now by clicking on this link.

tibor — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 16:19:28 -0000

Thanks for the quick response Dave!

Here's what I did:

Set the prefs (directly through the link in your post) according instructions, then uploaded a photo to Flickr.
After the first upload not showing up on Twitter I ran the update (tools>PhotoFan), just to be sure. Then tried another photo.

Flickr acct: http://www.flickr.com/photo...

Prefs page: http://www.flickr.com/photo...

Here it doesn't seem to work; tried twice. Not sure what extra info I could give.

Okay, that's nice. :-)

hi dave, it seems to me a lot like mobypicture.com or dot.nl (service mostly used in the netherlands, so that's probably why you wouldn't know about it?;)
