Suggestion: Add heartbeat #23

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

Hi this isn't an issue, just a suggestion,

I love the program BTW. My only suggestion is add a heartbeat or some sort of 
feedback to the user, so the user knows that the program hasn't frozen. 

Maybe printing a truncated version of the Debug information might be a good 
place to start?

Thanks :)

I don't know if anyone is paying attention, i believe this project might be 
dead??
I've made a few tweaks (just today actually).

The first obvious one was adding a little more verbosity.  This was done with a 
simple:
print "Uploading image %s" % image 
(underneath logging.debug("Uploading image %s" % image))
This way we know that stuff is actually happening.

The next modification is just to hash out images = flickr.grabNewImages()
and  flickr2history.reshelf(images, IMAGE_DIR, HISTORY_FILE)
this way, you don't need to check the entire folder every single time!!  <-- If 
i wanted to do this properly, i'd set up an argument for the uploadr.py file 
something like: "uploader.py -NoUpdate"

Lastly, folders2flickr no longer actually works, this is because flickr has 
changed their upload page.  This was easily fixed by changing class 
APIConstants, property "upload" from upload = base + "upload/" to base + 
"upload/basic/" 

I hope some people find this useful even though this is hidden away.

If the developers would like to bring on a new guy to help maintain i'll be 
happy to volunteer my time. (since i don't think i'll need to volunteer all 
that much since you guys have done such a great job!)

Cheers!
