Using version 1.2 build 200912011316. I get this error messages: 400 openfly:reason>BAD_REQUEST could not parse entry XML I'm not a programmer so it's all strange to me. Would appreciate any help on this. Thanks a lot and thanks for coming up with this plugin in the first place! Hi Don,

I can’t even get beyond the Logging In stage when I tried to export to Shutterfly. Using version 1.2 build 200912011316. I get this error messages:

I’m not a programmer so it’s all strange to me. Would appreciate any help on this. Thanks a lot and thanks for coming up with this plugin in the first place!

This is a feature of the Flickr plugin that allows me to create a smart collection to see all the images uploaded to Flickr. <p> <em>[Good suggestion.

The quality slider is not - I can still set it from 0-100. PS - to be more specific, the file format selection in the File Selection module is grayed.

Odd - I've never seen it before. It is set to JPEG, and as I mentioned it seems as though the images are being converted to and tagged with sRGB. Other than that it works fantastically, and this seems to be a minor bug, in that the images are being uploaded correctly. I've just ordered some prints and will let you know how they come out. -jl Hi Don -
