[EN] Import your Flickr sets to ipernity :)

This is wonderful, thank you. Just tested on two albums and they came across perfectly. It's great for someone like me who's already imported 5k+ photos as the two stage process avoids duplicates but also catches the few that got lost in the migration before (as was the case with the second album I imported). Will be doing more over the next few days. I love it here already and it just gets better and better.
Merci beaucoup.
(Mais, où est la traduction française? :-)

I've imported two small sets, and the script has worked well.

But what am I supposed to do with my giant sets of more than 2000 photos? Is there an easy way to import images 2001 and higher?

Not yet. We must think about splitting albums. Something like "My travels-1" (containing photos from 1 to 2000) and "My travels-2" (containing photos from 2001 to 4000) etc...
But it'll need more time to improve this script.

Hi!

Thanks for your reply. :-)

At present, I'm importing the smaller sets (less than 500 photos), and I'm well content with how well and fast the script works.

If I'm lucky, there may be no need at all for me to import the really large sets (i.e. 2000+), because most of my photos appear in 4 or 5 sets, and most of the sets are below the 2000 limit.

Bye,
Cameron

o0o many thanks it works a treat and am moving over the small sets first. It would be great if it were possible (if it were ;-) that when they are transferred over they were private and we could release them and make them live as and when we wanted to. Not sure if this is possible,
of course it is the same with transferring 90 at a time ... quite time consuing to check all first
to mark private and then transfer or wait until they come over here and then quickly go through and mark private ;-) fun ...;-) but thanks I am greatful that you have put the time and effort into making this transition so easy for us.

One thing .. and am not looking at my flickr page of course right now ... but it is asking me
when I come to transfer my sets to change my firefox to ... not the 12.1 I think it is that
works a treat but mentions another one ... 14 I think ... but when I click on ok ... it brings me
to the ipernity page where it explains what to do .. but not reference to this new upgrade
which seems not be available .. is it just me that sees this ... is it a bug ... or are others
experiencing this ... will go back and see exactly what the number is but I am sure it says
14.

OK ... sorry, should have done this first :)

when I click on my flickr photostream up comes a box that says ..

"Please update GreaseMonkey plugin flickr importer to version 1.14"

underneath these words are the two options OK and cancel

if I press cancel and it just shows the 1.12 and I proceed as per normal
if I press click ok it takes me to: www.ipernity.com/apps/gm

not sure why this will not clear and comes up each and everytime I go to
transfer photos here, can you advise ?

I previously used the Flickr.importer for batches, but found it often crashed at some point and then I had to do it again and ended up with loads of double uploads (the ones that imported before it crashed) and spent ages deleting the duplicates.

Now I wanted to try using the Flickr.album.importer but find I do NOT get the " CLICK HERE TO START Flickr set importer " in Flickr, and now the Flickr.importer button is gone too.

I've tried it in Chrome and Firefox and no luck with either

What's happening? What can I do?

Thanks to the ipernity team for this script! I really like how it's smart enough to not import a picture twice if it's in two sets. I'd figured I'd have to make sure every pic was in only one set.

Thanks again--

What about in-image notes? Currently they get lost.

I've imported several hundred albums successfully (thanks!), but a new problem has just started showing up: after clicking on the "OK" to start the script, it just shows "Good..." where the names of the previewed picture files should be appearing. Reloading the page and restarting the script often works, but sometimes it takes a dozen retries or more.

???

the scrips stopped working :( :( i do not get the import to ipernity at flickr anymore. i also get a msg a msg on flickr saying that they couldn't detect a live session in ipernity(i do have the page opened).
i don't want to spoil your weekend so i can wait until monday. have a good sunday!

This was working for me a couple of weeks ago, but when I did it tonight, I ended with an album with only a few photos and duplicates on many photos. I waited 20 minutes between the end of the first launch and the relaunch, figuring that would be time enough.

The first time this happened (Los Angeles County set), I went through and deleted duplicates and made the album manually. The second time this happened (Los Angeles City set), I left it as it was.

I imported several sets from Flickr earler this week, but after the change to group views, and it worked fine.

It seems that things can get flaky, with oddball and irreproducible problems, when web traffic is high. This seems to explain the problems I had described above a couple of weeks ago.

Last week I imported all of the sets that I wanted to import, so won't be using the script again. To get around the problem with duplicates being created, I first gave all of the photos in a set a unique tag (keyword) in Flickr, then did just the first pass, then found them in Ipernity on the keyword through 'organize,' and manually created the Ipernity albums.

I just checked and it is working on my Windows based system. One thing you didn't mention is whether you had opened a set -- the message about importing pops up after you open a set in Flickr and appears right below your banner.

Just a new note for anyone else who's run into problems: if you've installed the Greasemonkey script that automatically displays the non-justified set view on Flickr, you must DISABLE it for the importer to work. It took me a few minutes to figure out why all of a sudden I couldn't import Flickr sets any more.

Desperately need help from someone at iPernity since I have religiously followed the instructions (Import your Flickr photos) and so far it's a total FAIL.

I am using a Mac computer running OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) - and using the current Chrome browser. I followed each step of the official ipernity instructions: FIRST I installed the Tampermonkey extension/addon. (Then restarted my Mac just to be on the safe side.) THEN I opened 2 pages and logged into both my ipernity and flickr accounts. But THEN ---

And HERE's the problem: the ipernity instructions say: "go to your Flickr photo gallery, click on the button "import to ipernity" underneath the banner on the top of the page" ---

Well guess what? THERE IS NO SUCH BUTTON ANYWHERE ON THE FLICKR PAGE. Not underneath the "banner on top of the page" (I'm assuming this means the official flickr banner) - NOT ANYWHERE!!!

I've religiously read all the posts in this help Forum. Apparently one or two other people experienced this problem. (Apparently they were Mac users as well?) Their issues were never answered/responded to. I've also written directly to ipernity, asking for Help, but so far haven't received an answer. So I'm taking the liberty of posting this here.

Would seriously appreciate it if someone, anyone, can give me some helpful suggestions to find this missing/nonexistent button. THANKS in advance!

Desperate in Oregon,

Miguel

Yes, I have also found that with recent formatting changes at flickr, there is no longer a link to import a flickr set to Ipernity. Up until about 2 weeks ago it was there. I would love to have this feature back. I usually import private photos to flickr for storage, then import to Ipernity to share. I like having my photos in two places since it feels safer from loss that way; however I don't like to have to do titles, captions and tags in both places. I can still import a single photo from flickr to ipernity, but importing an entire album was supremely helpful.

Still waiting for someone - anyone - at Team Ipernity - to get back to me on this. Still unable to import anything from flickr :(

It's been 10 days now, so far no indications or signs that Team Ipernity Tech Support is actually doing anything about this.

What's up with this?

Update: all of the import scripts FINALLY seem to be WORKING!

So--- my belated thanks to all the software gurus at Team Ipernity for getting the job done well!

MiguelATF: did you have to reinstall the Greasemonkey script? I'm just wondering because I still don't have the ability to import flickr albums, only individual images.

What am I doing wrong i can not import my sets once again. I loaded tampermonkey twice.

Yes it is still working, I'm using it now. Great!

I found that reloading the page showed the script. First time you open your album and see nothing, reload and then the script appears.

Update... it's working in Chrome but not Firefox. When you go to an album, change the URL to have "sets" where it said "albums" and the button will appear.

It's working with a few odd bugs. I'm finding a handful of photos freeze it (the same photos each time) — I'll post again if I can find out why.

Which one of these scripts you tested?

www.ipernity.com/apps/gm

Flickr.importer To import all your photos from Flickr to ipernity (by batches of 90 photos)
