Description bfx81 2009-01-16 21:34:09 UTC
It would useful imho use the photo comment as title in the facebook export process.
Comment 1 Maxxer 2009-02-01 17:24:16 UTC
better would be with a title field (bug 342217)

I like this idea too!  It makes sense that if the user has already entered the comment that he would like to use it for Facebook as well.  Plus, since the captions are loaded when the dialog is created, it's very easy for the user to just go through and change them before submitting everything.

Also, I'd just like to say Peter's solution of initializing "current_item" to "-1" in the "FacebookExportDialog" constructor and testing for it in "HandleThumbnailIconViewButtonPressEvent" is a nice touch.  Otherwise the first photo's description is lost since there was nothing selected before it and the caption text box was blank.

Finally, I think users that are interested in this bug may be interested in bug 592835 "Captions may be mixed up after uploading to Facebook", which I just submitted.

F-Spot has moved to https://github.com/f-spot/f-spot/issues

If this Bugzilla ticket is still valid in a recent version of F-Spot, please feel free to post this topic as a ticket in the F-Spot project on GitHub.

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping as we are planning to shut down GNOME Bugzilla in favor of GNOME Gitlab.
