Quick bugfix
There was a small bug in the version I just released which would prevent you from uploading pictures which you downloaded from picasaweb. My mistake.
Anyway, it’s fixed now.
Hooray!

Two changes in this release:
*Google Picasaweb has been added to the list of Migratr’s supported services! Yippee, hooray!
*A minor bugfix- Since 23HQ doesn’t display titles, exports to 23HQ now move the title to the top line of the description. Thanks to “splitbrain”:http://www.splitbrain.org for the suggestion!
As always, If you encounter any bugs, or feel like requesting something, “the migratr forums”:http://forums.callingshotgun.net are the best place to do so.

Just added album support to Migratr. I was going to toss in a few extra things before releasing a version, but it’s been a little while since my last release, I figured I’d stick with the “incremental” approach.
So, Changelog:
New in Migratr 0.5.0
- Album Support- Migratr now tracks how your photos were organized into “photosets” (Flickr,23), also known as Albums (SmugMug), and automatically adds the photos to their corresponding sets during the export process.
Users going between SmugMug and one of the other services should be aware of a slight difference in how the services organize photos. Flickr and 23HQ enable one photo to be a member of multiple photosets. These services can be considered “Photo-Based”, wheras SmugMug is “Album-Based”. In SmugMug, a single photo cannot be a member of multiple albums. Instead, Migratr will automatically upload the same photo to different albums.
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU-
- If you’re migrating TO SmugMug, then you should be aware that from this point forward, if you edit one photo in one album, you’ll have to repeat those photo edits for every copy of the photo in all the different albums. If possible, I’d recommend editing it on your hard drive after importing, but before exporting to SmugMug.
- If you’re migrating FROM SmugMug, then you’re going to have unnecessary file duplicates in your different photosets (assuming you’ve put any photos in more than one album). After Migration, you’ll probably want to go on and delete your duplicates, simply adding one photo to the multiple photosets. This helps with things like tracking the popularity of the photo, and not having to look on two different pages to see what comments people have left for one picture.
Next up: Uploading from your hard drive (without importing from a service first), and support for “PicasaWeb”:http://picasaweb.google.com from Google. In the meantime, I highly recommend you check out “jUploadr”:http://www.juploadr.org and “pictureSync”:http://picturesync.net/ for the mac. Both are excellent bulk uploaders, and if you don’t already have all your photos tagged, titled, and organized on one of the supported photoservices, these would be excellent applications to use.
Good luck, and don’t forget to drop by the forums!

Maintanence Update
I’ve moved download & forum links over to the sidebar.
Also, I released version 0.4.3, which contains the following bugfixes
Bugfixes:
- *Fixed issue where Flickr was only downloading first 500 images.
- *Fixed occasional stopping of import before all images were downloaded
- *Fixed problem where non-pro accounts were downloading invalid images when no “Large” version existed.
A quick reminder, Migratr now fully supports import AND export between SmugMug, Flickr, and 23hq. It WILL support Zooomr soon- All the code is there, I’m just waiting for bulk uploaders to be re-enabled so I can test it.
As a sidenote- Migratr is getting ever-closer to being a solid 1.0 application, but I need testers! Any of you out there with SmugMug, Flickr, and 23HQ accounts… Pro, non-pro, Windows XP, SP2, Vista… .Net Framework 2.0 or 3.0 installed. All of you. I need feedback! Play around with it for a while, and pop into the forums. Tell me what you like, what you don’t, what you think should be added, how you think stuff should behave. I’m not going to promise I’ll agree with all of you 100% of the time, but I take everything into account. You won’t be raining on my parade. You’ll be raining on my plants:P

Migratr 0.4.0, now with SmugMug Support!

Just finished adding “SmugMug”:http://www.smugmug.com support. Also did some re-factoring, so adding services (even ones that don’t use the Flickr API ) should be a lot faster now. SmugMug is a VERY slick-looking service, and it really seems geared more towards people who want to make money off their photography than for people looking for a simple photo-sharing social service. Definitely worth a look.
Changelog:
- *Added SmugMug support
Yeah, it’s pretty short, but it took me some time :)
