Smugglr munges tags ... any fix?
Crossposting to a more appropriate area...
I've been wanting to migrate from Flickr to Smugmug for several years now, but the lack of a usable migration tool has gotten in the way. The problem with Smugglr is that it has a bug - it mangles tags because it uses the tag body instead of the raw property. This means that the tag "John Q. Public" on Flickr ends up as "johnqpublic" on SmugMug. I have tens of thousands of family photos, dating back to the 19th century, each one painstakingly tagged via years of research. I really don't want all that work mangled. This bug seems like it should be easily fixable... any suggestions? For example, in http://www.flickr.com/photos/3e/5099085311/ the tag gets transferred as 'danieldrucker' instead of 'Daniel Drucker'. The trouble with both Smugglr and Migratr is that they're grabbing the data by using flickr.photosets.getPhotos and requesting tags as an extra. That gives a response like this: Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<rsp stat="ok">
<photoset id="72157600005068570" primary="5099085311" owner="35034347215@N01" ownername="3e" page="1" per_page="500" perpage="500" pages="1" total="1">
<photo id="5099085311" secret="72570530fe" server="1121" farm="2" title="Daniel's photos are private." isprimary="0" tags="me danieldrucker" />
</photoset>
</rsp>
To get the correct form of the tags, one needs to run flickr.photos.getInfo against each individual photo. That method gives a response like this: Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<rsp stat="ok">
<photo id="5099085311" secret="72570530fe" server="1121" farm="2" dateuploaded="1287584582" isfavorite="0" license="0" safety_level="0" rotation="0" originalsecret="129213833e" originalformat="jpg" views="316" media="photo">
<owner nsid="35034347215@N01" username="3e" realname="Daniel Drucker" location="Philadelphia, US" iconserver="1" iconfarm="1" />
<title>Daniel's photos are private.</title>
<description>My photos are visible to Friends and Family only.</description>
<visibility ispublic="1" isfriend="0" isfamily="0" />

Note the 'raw' property which contains the correct version of the tag. |
