The announcement at the LCA welcome yesterday morning motivated me
enough to a) get the photos off of my camera, b) hack f-spot again so
it works with flickr, and c) blog about
it.
So after trying for several hours to get stock f-spot and libgphoto in
debian unstable to realise there was a camera plugged in the USB,
Silvia offered a USB CF reader, which Just Worked, albeit was very
slow :)
Then I had the joy of discovering that CVS f-spot no longer compiles
with Mono in Debian unstable, but hacking the configure to accept the
version I have installed, and commenting out the one line in some
random export module that I won’t use that required the newer
libraries, it compiled fine.
Turns out the new flickr auth
patch still hasn’t been
incorporated upstream. *hack*hack*hack*. Ok, so now it’s
uploading to flickr! Yay!
The f-spot tags are broken when uploading though, so I dig around and
just add doublequotes to each tag, so that “linux.conf.au 2006” isn’t
broken up into two tags. Brilliant.
One more hack to make the photo title the first 30 characters of the
comment, instead of some random filename, and it looks good.
Link to photoset in the next post, but right now it’s lunchtime!
