GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 632498
Facebook existing album upload
Last modified: 2010-11-07 08:23:10 UTC
Facebook recently changed their permissions model for applications requesting access. http://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/permissions for information. This means that gthumb facebook exporter is no longer able to upload to existing facebook albums, which is an annoyance. To fix this, some things need to be changed. Gthumb needs to be fixed to request the correct permissions. In facebook-connection.c, method get_access_type_name, you need to append "user_photos" to the requested permission set. The user, once using the fixed gthumb, needs to remove gthumb from the authorized applications list, then re-authorize with the fixed gthumb, at which time facebook will allow upload to existing albums. Hope this helps
The uploader appears to be broken for new albums too. - Mike
But now the uploader works fine for me (for new albums). Please ignore my comment above, until I manage to reproduce the problem again.
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next release. Thank you for your bug report.
