But it should also be said that all the affected photos were in the same set that syncs with iPhoto. I should clarify that all the photos that were ALREADY in Flickr were affected with the name change, INCLUDING the photos that were uploading from iPhoto at the time. Searcher, I’m not sure but it sounds like you’re talking specifically about renaming a batch of photos DURING an upload. This could have been seriously disastrous. I’ll try that in a minute and hopefully that works.īut that doesn't let Flickr off the hook. If I batch rename them in iPhoto, it should sync back to Flickr. The filenames remained intact despite the title change, thank God. In looking at iPhoto's batch renaming functions I found that it can batch rename pictures according to their filenames, which were their original titles. Yes they both batch rename, and ColleenM actually just helped me find what looks to be a fix. I usually do everything on Flickr, not during upload. Personally I think that sync feature is extraordinarily dangerous, and this is yet another example as to why.Īh, ok. If you're using the iPhoto tool to upload and organize your images, then somehow the fault lies there. Yo yang joe chang: If you didn't use the Flickr Uploadr page to upload your images, then there is no way to alter the names of your photos all at once via Flickr. It is possible that any uploading feature in iPhoto has a similar function. To change the title on Flickr you have to edit each photo title individually.Ĭan you batch edit the titles of photos using iPhoto?ĬolleenM: The Uploading page can batch create a title from any selected images being uploaded. But it still makes absolutely no sense why this happened.įlickr has no feature that allows you to batch edit the titles of photos. And because Flickr was the one that had open the photo in question (the one that spread its name to all my other photos), this tells me it was not something that happened in iPhoto, but it was on Flickr's end. I have tested this and know it to be true, and it's why I chose this set up, so that I can tag and and describe photos via the Flickr mobile app and have them sync back to iPhoto on my computer. So somehow you and/or iPhoto altered the names of all of your photos.Īny changes made to photos in Flickr sync back to their counterpart set in iPhoto, thereby syncing to iPhoto photos.

But iPhoto is known to have "sync" turned on by default, so if you make any change to your images on your computer, then iPhoto will update all of your photos on Flickr to match. Flickr can't alter the content of your files remotely. If the names were changed on your files on your computer (in iPhoto,) then it's an iPhoto issue. And it looks like I have to start completely over because of this major bug. The import and upload process has taken me over a week now. WHY did this happen?! I just migrated my photo library into iPhoto and beforehand I went through the entire library and painstakingly changed all the names of the photos in my library to match the date they were taken. Then I looked at all of the photos in that event in iPhoto and they all had that same name! Then I looked at all the photos in all the events that have been uploaded to Flickr so far, and EVERY SINGLE PHOTO, ALL 2700 IN IPHOTO AND FLICKR, NOW HAVE THE SAME NAME. It was the name of another photo-the photo I had open in Flickr. I noticed the upload was taking curiously long, and I happened to look at one of the photos in iPhoto that was uploading and saw that the name was completely incorrect. During this time I was doing other things on my computer. I had one of my Flickr photos open in a browser, and I had iPhoto uploading a new event (I'm currently in the process of uploading my entire library to Flickr bit by bit). (AGAIN!) Group Pending list fails to load entirelyįlickr just renamed ALL 2700 of my photos to the SAME NAME for NO REASON.
