Not the order I uploaded them, not chronologically, not any order that made any sense.

The next problem was that one day I noticed all the photos I’d uploaded via iPhoto were now appearing in a random order within their sets on Flickr.

When I stumbled across the duplicated photos (by viewing the last image in the Photos view and hitting the right arrow key) I checked the info and all I got was a message that said “This photo was downloaded from your Flickr account.” I tested what would happen if I deleted one of the downloaded photos: it got wiped from Flickr too. Duplicating photos I already had stored on my laptop and consuming valuable SSD space. This might have been useful if it was pulling all the titles and descriptions too, but it wasn’t. What was a problem was that iPhoto was happily syncing files in the other direction – copying images from my first 5 years of Flickr use to my SSD. I understood that if I deleted a photo from iPhoto it would also disappear from Flickr, but this wasn’t going to be a problem because I didn’t intend to delete anything from iPhoto if I liked it enough to put it on Flickr. I knew that iPhoto was not just uploading to Flickr, but syncing with it.
#Flickr uploadr for mac Pc
In the 6 years I’ve been using Flickr I’ve used a variety of different methods to upload photos: the Uploadr for both PC and Mac, the updated web interface, and most recently, iPhoto. Uploading via iPhoto 11 seemed great at first (and a huge improvement over doing so with iPhoto 9): I could add all my titles, descriptions, tags and (corrected when necessary) location data, hit share, wait for the upload, then I was done.
