Flickr upload error from LR4

rangercarp · 01-26-2016, 07:35 PM

When trying to publish photos to Flickr from Lightroom 4 I started getting an error message pop up that states, "Warning. Can't update this collection. An internal error has occurred: A semi colon character was expected. OK."

I saw this for the first time a couple weeks ago, and figured I would try again later. I gave it another go tonight with the same warning popping up. I tried publishing a different photo. I also tried un-authorizing my LR-Flickr connection, and then reauthorizing it, but the same dialogue box has continued to return.

Has anyone seen this before? Any Ideas of what to try next?

Thanks!

Check out this page, fourth post down. Maybe some of those solutions will be useful.

I've been using this plugin successfully since getting that error.

Thanks for the advice. I will try it out tonight when I get home. I have had plenty of Flickr upload issues before, but this is the first one I have not been able to find my way around.

I tried reloading the plugin, but that did not work either. Based on some other forums it sounds like this is a widespread problem with LR4.4 that started right about the first of the year. Three weeks ago Flickr said they were "reaching out to Adobe" to find a solution, but that was their last word on the subject.

So, I have resorted to Jeff's plugin. It works, but it will take some getting used to... I don't like change!
