New and Improved iFlickr
January 9, 2008
Welcome to the iFlickr blog!
It has been some time that I have worked on iFlickr. In the meantime, the user community has grown to about 21,000 users. Users have been very kind to point out bugs that sorely needed fixing. The obvious ones are the save to photoroll bugs. iFlickr caches the pictures on disk, so that upload failures can be queued and sent when Edge/WiFi is back on. There was a subtle bug in caching which would render iFlickr unusable until the photo roll is cleaned manually, see http://code.google.com/p/iflickr/issues/detail?id=1 . That has been fixed.
Another long standing request was to let the user decide which pictures to send. Now, the user can do that, and add a custom title to the picture.
Here comes the big one : iFlickr is now integrated with an inbuilt Google map. The GSM feature will try to locate the phone using cell towers. Sometimes it does not place you exactly where you want to be. Now, you can see on a map the current location. But if you are not happy with it, you can navigate the map using iphone style swiping to wherever, and place a marker there. iFlickr will use that to geotag the snaps.
Stay tuned on for the latest release sometimes soon on Installer.app.

Super sweet! I cannot wait to see all the work. I had a love/hate relationship with iflickr but the changes I’ve heard about should remove all the hate

I love iFlickr, it’s the single reason why I dont’t update to 1.1.3!
Would it be possible to keep the “Taken with Apple iPhone” and the date intact?

Nice work with iFlickr. But is there an option that i can upload the pictures from my camera roll on flickr? Or is there just the option to take it and upload it?

I’ve noticed iFlicker doesn’t authorize on the soft upgraded 1.1.3 iPhone update. Have you had any other reports of this? Does this new version address this problem?
Thanks!

yes! it would be great to use iFlickr 0.7.2 if it would stop asking to auth on the 1.1.3 version iphone

I love iFlickr, great program.
I am using 1.1.3 & it isn’t showing my location, it only says in the USA in the comments. I tried using WiFi & Edge but it isn’t mapping it (nor is it saying taken with iPhone but I don’t think it would anyway).
Here is one example http://www.flickr.com/photos/jtstitches/2276587146/
Thanks, Jen
