[Canola] [Announce] Canola-Flickr 0.1.0

I am happy to announce the second release of the canola flickr-plugin, available in extras since a few minutes.

The following changes were made since the last release:

* Added new folder "Search", which will contain the different search options
* Moved mainmenu items a little bit
* Added "Search by tag (global)" option which searches for tags in images of all users
* Added "Search groups" option to search for certain group names
* Updated Flickr search operations, filter results - show only photos, added tag_mode="all" - all specified tags must be includes in the search results
* Try to handle exception while downloading files to avoid corrupt files in the download folder
* Conflict with Canola2 beta10 to avoid breakage of the plugin when beta10 is about to be installed
* Changed internal structure of the Image-, Group- and Contactlistings to allow using the new page-switch widget of Canola2 beta10 like it is already used in the youtube plugin (not yet working)
* Speed up searching files in the local cache a lot
* Abort downloading images when you leave a image listing, this avoids a lot of unnecessary download traffic (the currently running download will be finished - this may result in adding the image twice to the image-list, if you leave and re-enter the same listing again before the download finished, this bug will be addressed soon)
* Check if enough space is available before downloading images, display error message ist not enough space is left
* Show meaningful messages when no items are found in the listings of photosets, contacts, photos, favorites and groups
* Added a "Add to favorites" option to the context-menu of images
* Depend on python-flickrapi (>= 1.2-1)
* Added an Info option to the context menu of images, which currently displays the name of the image, the owner of the image, the date the image was taken, a small thumbnail, the description and the tags of the image
* Added custom RowRenderers for listings of Photos, Photosets, Contacts and Groups, all of them are displaying a nice thumbnail and at least for Photos and Photosets, some additional information
* Added context menus to Photosets, Groups and Contacts, displaying some additional information about the corresponding item
* Renamed Interesting Images option to Explore, Explore now contains sub-options for showing the Interesting photos of the last 7 days
* Renamed "Latest Images" to Photostream, show the 30 newest photos instead of the 20 latest ones
* Added new option Tags under Explore, with the suboptions "Hot tags (today)" and "Hot tags (this week)", shows the "hottest" tags from flickr and the newest corresponding images
* Added "Recently uploaded photos" option to Explore page
* Added option to see the comments for photos in the photo context menu
* Delete /home/user/.canola/plugins.pickle in postinst when upgrading from an old version (< 0.0.4) to circumvent a problem with the new context options (would show up empty)

For some more details and screenshots, see my blog-post at http://blog.geekbu.de/2008/12/canola-flickr-010/.

Re: [Announce] Canola-Flickr 0.1.0

Thanks a lot for the plugin :)

But, whenever I view a photo, it won't allow me to do anything, ie click the buttons. I can't go to the next photo, play slideshow, rotate, zoom, etc.

I can get to all of them in the list, then click it and view, though. I have to use the hardware button to get back from the picture.

Think you can help? (the plugin worked, albeit slowly, before the update. And, I ran a canola-cleanup and reinstalled everything from scratch to make sure it was this update and not something stupid I did...)

Thanks alot for this very useful software :D

EDIT
Console output when run as user:

Re: [Announce] Canola-Flickr 0.1.0

Thank you for your feedback, i am pretty shure about what is causing your problem, and i am already working on it. ;)

The problems seems to be that you have not marked any photo from Flickr as favorite (i must admit that i did not have this case in mind when i implemented this part of the plugin). ;)

As a workaround until i have a good solution for this issue, you can visit the Flickr page and mark an arbitary photo (may not be a photo from yourself) as a favorite, please report here if this fixes the problem you are seeing.

Re: [Announce] Canola-Flickr 0.1.0

Thanks a lot, worked perfectly :D

Good to hear that. :)

In the meantime i fixed the code of the plugin, so this should not happen anymore. The fixed version (0.1.1+beta9-1) should be available in extras since a few minutes, maybe you can test if this version works after removing your "workaround-favorite" again!? ;)

Re: [Announce] Canola-Flickr 0.1.0

Works perfectly, mon amie! Thanks so much for the help and quick response. I love this plugin! :D

Re: [Announce] Canola-Flickr 0.1.0

First up, thanks for the awesome plugin! I love the idea, and I'm sure I'll love the product. :)

The plugin seemed to install just fine. It asked for auth for my flickr account (which I of course granted). But every time I try to bring up my flickr through Canola, it gives me a message:

"You are not logged in. Please switch to your browser and allow Canola-flickr access to your flickr account."

Now one thing I noticed was that in your comments, the plugin relies on python-flickrapi, which is not installed on my N800 (os2008 non-diablo).

I enabled maemo-extras from gronmayer but i'm not seeing phython-flickrapi show up in my installable apps.

Any pointers? I'm a total newb with the nseries. :)

Thanks again, and happy holidays!

Hmm, this really is strange, this message should only be show if something was wrong with authorization or if there is a problem with the network. Are you shure you can connect to the flickr page from the tablet?

Anyway, it maybe really is a poblem with the plugin, you could start canola from xterm via "canola -vvv" and post the output here, especially the lines which appear when you try to open the flickr plugin.

Well, if the browser was started and if it opened the flickr page, the you definetely have python-flickrapi installed, this part is handled by python-flickrapi. :)

It might be confusing, but the application manager does not show all available packages, it (should) show only the ones which are relevant for the end-user, python-flickrapi (like most other python packages) is not visible in the application manager. If you want to see, if a package is available and/or installed, you can always use "apt-cache policy packagename" in xterm or if you are logged in via ssh.

Re: [Announce] Canola-Flickr 0.1.0

hey!

Yep, I can get to flickr just fine from the tablet. The page loaded up the first time, asking for authorization. I authorized, then the error. I removed the auth and tried again, same deal. weird. :(

Here's the output that I could see from trying the flickr part. I truncated it for posting to just flickr. If you need to see more, just lemme know. :)

Code:

Hmm, looks like one of your favorites in Flickr has a weird "taken" date, "2008-05-00 20:24:27", which can not be parsed, it would be really nice if you could look on the flickr-page which photo it is and in case the photo is public, send me the URL of the photo-page.
