GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 551472
Hardcoded files size limit
Last modified: 2009-11-04 22:15:54 UTC
The current filesize limit at 20 Mb do not apply for flickr pro users. check this patch to fix that. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=450406 Other information:
postr.dev has the kludge of making the limit 20M, because I was told that it has been bumped to 20M for everyone. I now see that I was lied too, so this patch (although needed a rework) is sensible.
I have a pro account and the status line shows 2.0G for me. So idea in the patch to read the limit from flickr is good, but i need a little work, storing the limit in the status bar object is a little weird :)
postr.dev also doesn't show upload limits if you have a pro account. :)
Then every thing should be ok, but it will still be a good idea to read the limit from flickr for non pro accouts, it flickr changes the limit at some point in time.
Indeed, I said in #1 that I'd apply it.
Tim, the 2.0G upload limit is, i think, meant to be _total_ uploads, not _per file_ uploads - which is what the patch is about. Ross, i'm happy to re-work the patch against the latest source or following any other requirements you have if that'll help.
Just reworking the patch following the previous comments would be great, thanks.
The answer is available on http://www.flickr.com/help/photos/ "Are there limits on file sizes or file types for uploads? With a free account, you can upload photos up to 10MB in size. If you have a Pro account, you can upload photos up to 20MB. Video sizes are limited to 150MB. For more on video files and types supported, please visit the Video FAQ". So, there is always a limit which is different wheter is a pro or not.
