(2005-04-24) Iphoto Flickr

Played with IPhoto on my IBook. Realized that when it recognized/imported Digital Camera stuff that I'd copied over from my old MsWindows Lap Top, it just made total copies of each file in its own directory. So I Trashed the originals. Did a little date-correction (since it didn't recognize that some old files, brought over originally from my ancient IntelPlay, had date-strings in the filenames themselves).

Put some WikiWord-s in Comments fields.

Downloaded an uploader for FlickR. Nice, though it wants a single set of tags for an entire batch, and ignored my IPhoto Comments (didn't use them as Tag or Description). At least it recognized the proper Date field.

Went back to IPhoto and use KeyWord-s instead of Comments for a few pieces (the same 2 words for all of them). Did the upload again, again it didn't recognize those Keywords as Tags. Harrumph. (At some point need to play with PIL to see whether IPhoto is stuffing any of those terms into the JPEG standard file place, or just keeping them in its proprietary database...)
