Flickr has changed there API and I'm not able to use Windows Photo Gallery to load to there site anymore. I've talked to flickr and they say it's cuz of there new API and that Windows Photo Gallery has to update before it will work again. Anyone know what to do?
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Just found that Flickr's Web Uploader DOES retain the metadata that you add within Photo Gallery so until the upload feature in Photo Gallery is fixed, I for one will be using this. It's nowhere near as friendly but it does mean that I don't have to type in descriptions and tags for all my photos all over again.
I get that you're angry at Microsoft but I honestly don't understand why you're so mad at my simple reply offering a solution to Marsi63.
I was also disappointed at Microsoft's dropping of Flickr support.
But I found a simple workaround that offers pretty much the same functionality so I thought I'd share it since you suggested Marsi63 would "have to find another way" but did not offer any specifics.
So do thousands of others; you are saying nothing new. The point is that Microsoft's abandoning users has had far-reaching effects on many thousands of users, making it a lot more time-consuming. 7 PAGES of users would heartily disagree with "works fine for me".
I continue to use Windows Live Photo Gallery to manage (caption and tag) my photos and upload to Flickr by simply selecting the relevant photos in Photo Gallery and drag'n'dropping them onto Flickr's upload web page: https://www.flickr.com/photos/upload/
Works fine for me.
Microsoft strung us along for months, finally admitting they would NOT provide a fix. There were just not enough people effected. You'll have to find another way. Sorry.
