What exactly is meant by "username" here? Is it the yahoo login? Or the NSID? Or the string that is in the flickr user page path? I tried using my login name and page path with no luck.

Also, I'm trying to make an Arch Linux AUR package for this, but I'm getting a warning that the compiled .so file has a reference to the source dir where I compiled it:

(and indeed grepping for my home dir in the so-file matches). I have no idea whether this is dangerous though...

It should be the name in

About <username> / Full Name

on your profile page.

KIO can get itself a bit confused with cached login details.

Try visiting directly

flickr://<username>:@/

As for the second question, I really don't know. I'm not aware of having coded up anything strange.

btw it's now in Arch Linux:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40028

Cool thanks.

Wow, that worked great! Even with strange usernames with characters like

&{}~

in them :-) I really hope you consider extending this KIO with more features. Some things I'd like to see:

Sounds simple:
* ability to find the img URL for a certain image (eg. direct links to all sizes, if I have license rights or am logged in as the owner of this image)

Sounds difficult:
* ability to change image info like tags, title, etc.

I really don't have time to do any work on here right now. I'm busy helping out with KTelepathy, and I'm moving house/job too.

Given it's only had ~25 downloads, it's not one of my more important projects to maintain.

Sorry.

Alright, very understandable :-)

Well, if anyone's interested, I made a version that solves my immediate problem at http://github.com/unhammer/flickrkio ;-) looks like http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/6186/flickrkio.png

But for authenticating, it looks like having to copy a whole lot of the kipi-plugin code, not sure I'm up to that quite yet.
