I've been using the new Flickr Uploader v3.0.5 (and just recently downloaded the beta of v3.1) and during an upload the connection will often fail (BONK! message). I don't mind this so much, nor am I interested in figuring out if it is my connection, Flickr's servers, etc. - except that the uploader does not automatically retry the upload, I have to manually click "retry" when it fails.<br> <br> At first I thought I could try and hack the program since the source code is available but after reading the README that sounds like too much work. Is there a uploader for Windows that has this feature? I'm pretty sure its not in v2.5, v3.0.5, v3.1, and jUploadr. <br> <br> I don't mind even a perl-script that I run from a directory, I just want it to constantly retry until all the images are uploaded without duplicates. I'm running Windows XP but am fairly computer savvy, I can also use cygwin if that helps. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.89615 Wed, 23 Apr 2008 11:53:40 -0800 flickr uploadr upload uploader retry autoretry bertrandom http://ask.metafilter.com/88901/How-can-I-get-my-password-from-flickr-uploadr Help me hack into my own flickr account AskMeFi, this is a hard one. I have a long-dormant flickr account that I desperately need access to. I have tried the usual password-retrieval methods, but naturally, I had given them fake answers to the security questions. <br> <br> The only method I have to access my account is through flickruploadr (version 2.2) on my venerable iBook G4. I can still use this to upload photos, but when I try to go to the site it asks for my Yahoo login and password which I no longer remember. The password is somewhere on my iBook. There is a file called com.flickr.uploadr.plist that has a string called my account name, but the value is gobbledygook. I am thinking this might be my password? How can I unscramble it? Is there some other way to get this password? I guess I also need my Yahoo ID (I no longer remember it, and it's not the same as my flickr username) - this must be somewhere on my iBook too.<br> <br> I would really like control of this account back! There are pictures on there that I no longer want the whole world to see.<br> <br> Any tips you have would be <b>greatly</b> appreciated. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.88901 Tue, 15 Apr 2008 16:40:14 -0800 flickr lostpassword hacking mac macos osx uploadr sid
