Be aware that for me even re-publishing them does not change the status -- still show modified to be re-published. This feature is broken.

I tried it with one which had no comments and changing the status worked for me with republishing.

I wish when I get the warning during republishing (which allows me to "Skip" an image, among other things) there would be an option to remove the image from the "republish" collection. Or any other means to remove them from the "republish" collection.

Can a community professional please respond to the posts regarding the Flickr issues?

I have Flickr Pro and republishing works well with saving all the comments and unmarking "to republish" mark after publishing.

I have a Mac if it is important.

The problem is

a) I don't have a Pro account.

b) even if I did, it shouldn't be necessary to republish images which didn't change.

LR seems to flag images for republishing for no good reason (e.g., like visit to "Develop" but no changes done, or being shown in a slideshow). I consider this a bug.

Independently of the bug, I'd like to be able to tell LR that I consider the image status on Flickr to be "up to date".

I agree that it will be better if it would work in Flickr Free. I just said that I can't reproduce it with Pro account.

b) even if I did, it shouldn't be necessary to republish images which didn't change.

Agree. But I can't reproduce it as well. I go to develop, do nothing and go back and image doesn't go to republish tab.

Possible this is limitation on free account but it isn't clear yet. It would be better to hear from Adobe.

I have a pro account and have seen this kind of no-modification but re-publish behaviour.

My conclusion from another thread .... http://forums.adobe.com/message/2919413#2919413

I had the same problem and got fed up with it and the randomness of it. I came, probably falsely, to the conclusion that some aspect of the processing had changed between LR 3 beta and the release version and when re-rendering a photo in either Loupe or Develop mode if a significant "Loading..." wait was shown by LR then the image was being redeveloped in some (updated) way.

In the end I selected all the photo's in the published set and then Menu "Library,,, Previews.... Render 1:1 Previews". LR went through them and many (not all) photo's in the set appeared to require republishing. Since then, I have not yet experienced the click ... so needs republishing again. I don't claim to know what is occurring it is possible I did something to stimulate it without knowing ... I just know that I got fed up with it.

Alan.

I have had the problem too. It seemed to be random and I have been unable to reproduce it at will. One thing that did trigger the 're-publish' problem was to create a slideshow from the Flickr library. At the end of that process 32 of the 98 images were flagged for re-publishing.

Over the last few days the problem hasn't manifested itself until today.

I had a number of images that needed a keyword adding to them and some of these are in the Flickr library. On adding another keyword to about 500 images those images that had the keyword added that were in the Flickr library had been flagged for re-publishing. It seems that a change to the Metadata date is enough to flag the image as 'changed'.

Regards,

Norman

Has this become a "user only" forum?

Should we use the official bug report submission system to report bugs such as the Flickr publishing issues?

Where is the official bug submission system?

This is the official line http://forums.adobe.com/index.jspa If you check the last sentence you'll get access to the official communication channels. Alternatively, you can submit a bug report or feature request from the following page http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/contact.html

To your question. This is a User to User forum and has been since it was first launched in the late 90's. In it's most recent incarnation Adobe introduced the concept of Community Professionals (formerly Community Experts), but they are just users like you. Yes, they may have access to info not publicly available and in some instances access to the members of the product team. If they know that an issue has already been reported or not they will usually say so. If they say nothing it's usually because they know nothing or the thread has gone so far South that their participation will only flame the fire.

Adobe staff also visit the forum, do answer questions, do ask for additional info, etc. In fact, if you check back through Monday you'll see that Melissa Gaul posted to a dozen or more threads. Yesterday, Julie Kmoch checked into some threads asking users for additional info. Other members of the engineering (Eric Chan) and QE regularly visit the forum and will participate when their input can add something useful.

Hope above helps clarifies the status of the forum, etc.

Ian, thank you very much indeed for your response and the useful links!

That's very encouraging to hear.

Perhaps it was related to the nature of the forum, but I had the impression that the LR3 Beta forum had more Community Professional and Adobe staff involvement.

It would make sense for Adobe to keep mining the threads here for bug reports, suggestions for improvements, etc. Some users are doing part of Adobe's work and it would make sense to reward them from time to time, e.g., with an acknowledgement that a bug report has been taken on board.

If Adobe thinks there is nothing to fix with the Flickr publishing module then I would stop using it. If there is hope that the "republishing" issue can be addressed in the future, it would be worth living with the problems for the time being.

Thanks again for your response.

I agree with you. It seems weird when LR marks a photo for republishing without any reason. I think developers should add an option to unmark photos from being republished on Flickr.

It's been asked for (at least by me, so I know it was) at least two releases ago, and possibly more. I don't remember how many times I put in a feature request.

I do remember (the thread, not the code) that someone (clvrmnky? Dont' remember either. Must be getting old.) posted with an SQL query that updated the catalog file to say it was already published. Search the forum, you might find it again.

Cheers!
