Migratr 1.06 – Zenfolio fix and general cleanup
This is a bugfix release. Those of you who were trying to migrate to/from Zenfolio should have no problems now:)
Also did a little cleanup and removed some obsolete import/export options:
-AOL Pictures: Site no longer exists
-Faces.com: Site (the one I built support for) no longer exists, and has been replaced with a social network.
-”Phanfare 2″: There were previously two versions of Phanfare set up for migration from within Migratr. This is because Phanfare went through some pretty drastic changes, and for a time was really two different services- The old one and the new one (designated as “Phanfare” and “Phanfare 2″). They were kind enough to leave the old version of the site up for several months in order to give users time to debate whether to convert over to an account on the new Phanfare (managed internally by them) or to determine that the new vision for the site wasn’t for them and migrate elsewhere (which is where Migratr came into play). The transition is complete, and there’s no longer a reason to keep the API for the “Old” Phanfare in Migratr. So it’s been removed, and to clear things up, “Phanfare 2″ (the New Phanfare) has been renamed simply to “Phanfare”, as there’s only one version up anymore.
As mentioned in a previous post, I’ll be digging into Gallery 2.3 issues as time permits. My earlier statement that “It’s stopped working completely” turns out to be wrong- It works for me, which is really frustrating- I can’t duplicate the issues others are experiencing. Those of you who have emailed me about Gallery support- I might be hitting you up for beta testing in the coming weeks:)
For the time being… Enjoy the download, and happy Migrating!

I was wondering if you migtht ever incorporate http://www.imageevent.com into your program?
I recently switched to Zenfolio but I have thousands of shots @ Imageevent that I need to bring over. Doing so one at a time might be a little tedious.
Is it a possiblity?
Thanks for your time!
Gila- Unfortunately it doesn’t look like imageevent.com has an API, so there’s no way for me to add Migratr support. Most sites like this have some sort of bulk download option, or you might be able to buy a DVD with your photos from them (SmugMug offers this for around $10, I think. Don’t know about ImageEvent, though.) From there you can either use Migratr or another bulk uploader like PictureSync or Zenfolio’s own built-in uploader- It might mean having to do the organizing into albums and captioning all over again, but it still beats bulk downloading / uploading.
Two things:
1. Migratr transfered only part of my photos from Flickr to SmugMug.
2. Could you please clean and protect Migratr forums from spam?
Regards.
Hey dude, what an amazing concept. Thank you!
I was having the same problem that Ludwik was having – it only download a very small portion of my flickr photos. Do you have any idea why this is the case?
Could it be because I no longer have a flickr pro account and have reached my limit?
The spam thing is, unfortunately, an ongoing battle:P
To answer both of you- Flickr only gives access to your most recent 200 photos if it’s a non-pro account, so if you’re only seeing 200 photos or so downloaded, that’d be why. If you do have a Pro flickr account, email me and I can investigate further.
Downloaded Migratr to move my pix from smugmug to zenfolio, but it is not working. During the step “Import” when I click on button, it immediately says finished, even though it does not import a single photo. I signed up for a free 14 days service with zenfolio to try and kind of upset i can’t really try it
I am trying to move files from phanfare to zenfolio and when I hit the import button the program crashes. Any ideas?
Hi Alex,
I recently decided to use the Zenfolio site to showcase my photos. I was pleased to see there was a migration tool that works with flickr, as I’ve got almost 5,000 photos on my flickr stream. However, I can’t find a Mac-compatible migratr download?
Did you create one or can you make one available for download please? I’d like to know if any such a program exists before manually uploading all my files to Zenfolio the hard way.
Cheers
say, i’m seeing migratr downloading my flickr video files with a .jpg file extension.
is this normal?
what will happen when migratr attempts to import these to 23hq?
I would love to use this…except it’s not multi-platform!
Please support Linux also. You should be able to do that with your Java skills ;-)
Why for the “import from” Flickr does it need:
* Access your Flickr account (including private content)
* Upload, Edit, and Replace photos and videos in your account
* Interact with other members’ photos and videos (comment, add notes, favorite)
I would think it only needs access to my account… not access to upload/edit and replace… or interact with other member’s content…
I would love to use this software, but I don’t want to allow full access when it only needs to read… this scares me… Can you address this in the next release please?
Yah.. what I don’t have a clue about is why there isn’t a mac version of softwares like this. I would pay good money for such. It would save hours of uploading
Thank you for releasing such a useful app. I’m trying to migrate photos from Flickr to Picasa, but the Picasa authentication doesn’t seem to be working. When I submit my authentication login info, my browser never takes me to an allow access dialogue. The authentication for Flickr worked fine. Not sure if its just me, my computer, the app, or Picasa.
Running Windows 7. Didn’t work on my other Windows 7 computer either. Don’t have any XP boxes to try it on.
I am also looking for a Mac version of your Migratr software. I’ve not been pleased with Flickr’s recent changes to their photo printing service and am looking to migrate my nearly 2,000 photos, probably to picasa.
When will a Mac Migratr be available?
Forgive me if I don’t know how the API back-end works. It sounds like your tool is great, but but there any way to migrate photos between services without having to download and re-upload them? It seems like the available tools all require at least one end user upload. Can the sites be made to talk to each other without ever having to go through my SLOW DSL connection?
I have to tell you…this software SAVES a ton of time! I did a migrate from Smugmug to Zenfolio…flowless. :) Kept my galleries too.
