Flickr2Piwigo sees only 190,168 photos and presents errors. It chops up long album titles.

Thank you! I have just set piwigo up on a brand new Centos server! I hope to help you debug Flickr2Piwigo. At the moment, it is transferring files, with some issues:

Here is a screenshot!

Some things I've noticed:

1. It says "Selection 190168 elements ready for impotration". I actually have over 300,000 images total! Most of those are in albums too!

Here is the site: http://66.45.225.82/pw/piwigo/

2. Flickr2Piwigo is taking long album titles and chopping them up, so I am getting multiple album titles.

For instance, it takes an album title from flickr which has 85 photos, chops it up, and creates five albums, each which has 85 photos:

http://66.45.225.82/pw/piwigo/

Albums: **- and Beautiful! Athena! [85]

• Fit [85]
• Thin [85]
• and a Gold 45 Revolver Gun! Short Shorts Denim Daisy Dukes Jeans Shorts! Tall [85]
• Cowboy Boots [85]
• Pretty Cowgirl Model Goddess with Cowboy Hat [85]**

The good news is that it is transferring photos! Thanks!

Also, a question:

Is there a way to run Flickr2Piwigo from the linux shell or command line, rather than from a browser?

I have a dedicated server where I would like to leave it running so as to transfer all my images.

A related question to my above question is that if one closes the browser running Flickr2Piwigo and then opens a new browser on a new computer and runs Flickr2Piwigo, will Flickr2Piwigo continue where it last left off when the first browser was closed? Or will Flickr2Piwigo begin all over again, and download every gallery starting from the very first gallery again?

Thanks! :)

Hello Sam!

Would it be possible to import and store the safety status of the photo from flickr, such as safe, moderate, or restricted?

If this isn't possible or easy, would it be possible to import moderate and restricted photos as private, while importing the safe photos as public?

Thanks!

One small request would be to put any photo which is not in an album into an album titled, "Not in an official album."! It's not a huge deal, but it seems it may be simple and useful to people on down the line, as sometimes flickr won't add every photo to an album, even though it makes it look like it did.

Tracked in #18.

Also, if two albums have the same name, can we please make sure it creates both albums? Perhaps it already does this?

No, it doesn't, and actually it's sort of tricky to do that because it checks to see if the album already exists by looking for its name. I think the easiest solution would be to rename one of the albums on Flickr prior to import. Do you have many like this?

Would it be possible to import and store the safety status of the photo from flickr, such as safe, moderate, or restricted?

Tracked as #17.

Let's carry on discussion over on #15, given that we're pretty close to solving the problem at hand. :-)
