Description David Zeuthen (not reading bugmail) 2006-03-25 22:47:02 UTC
f-spot will happily upload my Canon .CR2 RAW files to flickr but flickr won't display them; they are just ignored. This is on the f-spot that comes with Fedora Core (version 0.1.11-1)

Potentially, flickr could be smarter about this and natively support .CR2 files but perhaps in the interim f-spot needs to reencode to a JPG though this brings in a hard decision on what quality to use. I suggest just to hardcode this initially and perhaps have some configuration in the future.

If some f-spot developer can give directions on how to fix this I don't mind taking a stab at it as it is a show stopper for me moving to f-spot. 

Thanks.

Btw, for inspiration

 http://connectedflow.com/flickrexport/

does the right thing on iPhoto. It doesn't allow me to specify the quality and I don't think I need this either.
Comment 2 Larry Ewing 2006-03-27 19:29:31 UTC
Yeah this needs to get fixed, the raw handling is a little.... raw.

Basically I'm waiting on a little time to finish raw versioning and once I have that in handing coversion should be simple.  You could do it now manually, but copying the metadata would be a bit painful.

That dialog does have some good ideas for extending the flickr export functionality a bit, and would be nice to borrow some pieces from.
Comment 3 Stephane Delcroix 2006-10-25 15:19:15 UTC
Should be easy to implement with the Filters now
Comment 4 Roland Mas 2008-01-08 19:23:54 UTC
The DevelopInUfraw extension could be seen as another solution to that problem.
Comment 5 Dan Berger 2008-06-19 02:34:54 UTC
having recently gotten a DSLR and started shooting in Raw, I was happy to see that f-spot imported the photos, but disappointed that it (still) can't export them to Flickr.

Is fixing/enhancing this anywhere on the future plan?
Comment 6 Maxxer 2008-06-19 05:48:57 UTC
Does flickr support uploading raw files?
Comment 7 Pascal de Bruijn 2008-07-16 16:48:35 UTC
Flickr probably does not support raw files. It's rather silly to upload raws. 

As the whole point of raw files is you can adjust them before display.

The "proper" way to handle this is, to develop your raws, using the DevelopInUFRaw extension. That will produce a JPG, which _can_ be uploaded to Flickr.

I agree with this sentence. Though it seems that F-Spot tries to upload the original version of the file - which is in my case a CR2 file - instead of uploading the currently selected version.

Bug 590150 will fix this.

Comment 12 André Klapper 2018-07-01 08:59:32 UTC
f-spot is not under active development anymore, has not seen code changes for five years, and saw its last tarball release in the year 2010.
Its codebase has been archived: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/f-spot/commits/master

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is deprecated) if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
