After more consideration, probably this setting "Who can access your original image files" set to "Anyone" should be optional.

I just realised something about flickr. It seems around the end-May 2010, flickr changed their image creation system to include the 'Large' size for originals of 1024 px or bigger (previously I guess uploads of 1280 px or bigger triggered the generation of 'Large', as indicated above in my original post). So some older images may not have a 'Large' size (1024 px) so the next size down is Medium when 'original' of 1024 or larger is unavailable due to this option being other than 'anyone'.

So if all your uploads have a 'Large' version and you are happy with 'Large' being the max available size (in place of the original not being available due to the above flickr setting not being set to 'anyone') then you don't need to set that option.

The downside to enabling 'anyone', is you then allow anyone to come to flickr to download the original image. It seems most newer images always have Large (1024px) versions available, so this may suffice and you can safety not set that option.

It would be great if flickr somehow allows originals to be available via this gallery, but disabled downloading. I guess it's not possible with the current method.

I've just noticed this issue (or a similar one). On Firefox 12, if I click on an image thumbnail, the main image fades up & then extremely quickly the image disappears and reappears (this effect appears as a flicker just after complete fade in). If I use the keyboard, I don't see this effect (due to the 'slide' action). Occasionally however, I do not see this flicker when I click on a thumbnail. I guess it might be a memory issue.

I don't see this on IE9.

Edit: I just checked John's gallery (which has no thumbnails to click) and occasionally, I noticed the same issue. It's the same issue I reported above, and if IE9 is used, the flicker is not present.

I see the issue - there is a flickr account setting: "Who can access your original image files?". I had this set to 'Your contacts'. Setting this to 'Anyone' is the solution. Sorry I didn't realise about this. Probably this is a good tip to include in your doc.

The current info of "ORIGINAL - Original uploaded image dimensions. To access the original image size the image's privacy must be set to public and its license set to Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike Creative Commons." is not quite enough.

Perhaps something like:

ORIGINAL - Original uploaded image dimensions. To access the original image size the image's privacy must be set to public, and its license set to "None" or "Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike Creative Commons", and the flickr account setting "Who can access your original image files" is also set to "Anyone".

I'm not sure about "Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike Creative Commons" but I assume it's correct. I added "None" since it's a valid option.

Thanks again for your help.

Thanks for checking. As the account owner, I see there is an original size of 1024, so not sure why this is not showing a large at the same size. I guess it's some setting - I'll check it.

Sorry Steven, I missed your earlier post about propagation. I think you're exactly right - it probably takes time, and I confirmed the 2 images were seen after all when resetting the count. Apologies.

I just updated my AIR version to v3.2 but I still get this issue.

1) in flickr, add the tag 'jbtest1' (without quotes) to 2 of my images in my photostream
2) go into JuiceboxBuilder-Pro & create a new gallery (load from flickr)
3) enter my flickr user name
4) specify the above tag (without quote), click 'Load images'
5) I get the dialog error 'flickr images not found'
6) enter '49' for the image count, and click 'Load images', both images come up in the thumb pane
7) btw if I enter '45' for the image count, I only get 1 image in the pane (btw entering 46, 47 or 48 gives me both images)

Kinda strange. It would be interesting if someone else could try this to confirm.

Just an update. I think this 'Flickr Image Count' is somewhat unreliable. In preparing a test content for another post, I tagged 3 images in flickr, and used 45 for the 'Flickr Image Count' and I could see the 3 images, but when I added the same tag to another image (and confirmed it within flickr that I now had 4 images), and then refreshed the gallery in the app & in my browser, the additional image would not appear. However if I altered (reduced) the image count again to (e.g.) 40 & refreshed, the image would appear. This behaviour seems rather strange to me.

If you specify

image source: flickr
flickr tags: some-tag
flickr user id: some-userid

and click 'Load images' button, only the first image is shown in the thumb viewer pane on the right.  However if the Flickr Image Count is reduced from the default 50 to a fewer number, all the tagged images (thumbs) will be collected & shown.

My flickr name starts with a > symbol (which is legal). This caused some issue in the generated XML from within AIR application - it seemed to insert some extra chars (which I had to edit out) causing the name not to be found. After manually editing, it was fine. Maybe this should be looked at.

Hi

I've set up a basic gallery using only the usual flickr settings (i.e. leaving defaults, including imageScaleMode = SCALE_DOWN) but I used in particular the flickr setting:

flickrImageSize="ORIGINAL"

Most of my images were displayed as expected (resized down since most of my images are 1024 pixels at longest size or bigger), but I've noticed some of my original-sized 1024 px wide (or tall) images actually appeared at the 500-pixel medium size in Juicebox, which was rather a surprise - I expected these to be scaled down from the original size. I noticed the affected images on flickr happened to be stored with no large size even though the original size is 683x1024. So to recap, some flickr images only appear stored as 'original' (1024px), no large size, and then 'medium' (2 sizes) and smaller etc.

I wonder if there is some issue to be resolved here with Juicebox?

I see from the help for flickrImageSize, says:

LARGE - 1024 on longest side (only exists for original images larger than 1280). If the large version does not exist, Juicebox will fetch the medium version.

ORIGINAL - Original uploaded image dimensions. To access the original image size the image's privacy must be set to public and its license set to Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike Creative Commons.

I wonder for ORIGINAL if there is some problem with the original size (can't imagine what) & no large size exists, does ORIGINAL also use medium?

Here's a test URL: <removed, as issue is solved now> with 4 images. The first 2 images are fine, the latter 2 images are smaller as indicated (even though the original size is 1024 pixels along longest side). 'Open image' is enabled, so you can go to the original flickr page & locate the image size details from there to confirm the situation.

It would be great if this can be solved.

If more info is needed, let me know.

Regards

Michael.
