Facebook uploader 'set "city"' option not working #36

Closed jim-easterbrook closed 6 years ago

The Facebook API place search used by Photini appears to be disabled. I don't know if this is a temporary or permanent problem, but for now you need to uncheck the 'set "city" from location metadata' box before uploading pictures to Facebook.

Using Facebook's API explorer (https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/) I've discovered that my search still works, but if I use Photini's access token instead of the temporary API explorer one I get an error message that leads to this: https://developers.facebook.com/status/issues/205942813488872/ You might think it odd to tackle platform abuse by disabling apps that haven't been active recently. I couldn't possibly comment.

I think Facebook have re-enabled place search now. It's working for me again.
