Can't get flickr uploader to work
« on: December 12, 2014, 01:41:57 PM »
I created a photo set in flickr and then tried to use the uploader.  The uploader shows (none) in the photo sets block.  If I try to upload It fails and the following alert pops up.  Unable to upload because: can't convert nil into String.

Running PM 4.6.9
OS 10.9.5

Thanks

You'll have to upgrade to Photo Mechanic 5.

The flickr uploader was updated for PM 5.  PM 4.6 is no longer being maintained and flickr made changes to their API that broke the flickr uploader in both PM 4.6 and PM 5.  PM 5 is the current version of Photo Mechanic and is still being maintained and developed, so we made changes to the template to be compatible with the API changes in flickr in an update to PM 5.
