Picture Testcase

When I publish on Facebook with public sharing, the picture gets uploaded, but is marked as "Only Me" sharing.  One workaround for now is to change the privacy settings of uploaded albums manually on Facebook.

You have to allow the app that in its Facebook settings. I would need to look into the API if that can somehow be reflected in the publishing plugin.
Comment 2 Jens Georg 2016-05-26 17:39:00 UTC 
Check the activity log of the app and then on top you can select "Can post on your behalf to"

I am not sure what happened, but it works fine now.  To make sure there were no bugs, I had shotwell forget my Facebook credentials and I also removed its privileges to make sure the reported issue is not an issue.  Looks like a misconfiguration by me occured while publishing the image.

Jens, I will let you decide the final resolution of this bug.

Adding documentation keyword as Jens Georg found something about this bug that needs documenting.
Comment 6 Jens Georg 2016-06-04 14:29:52 UTC 
I did some experimenting and it turns out that in order to change the permissions you have to allow shotwell to publish publically during the initial connect. This in deed needs some documentation, otherwise people are confused
