Flickr uploading no longer supported in Photos and Mojave?

Thank you. I did try that first, and if I export photos to a different folder and click those options and then use the Flickr uploader, the metadata successfully goes with it. But just like dragging and dropping or copying anything from Photos, none of the metadata is retained from Photos when selected from a "choose file" dialog box.

But it works if I export the photos first. However, I am trying to avoid such duplication of effort and space. This method also changes the kind and sometimes messes up the photo order and does not work for video clips. It also does not like photos with the same title, and Apple killed batch title changes with numbers for unique identification. Before the "upgrade" I could export events into their own Flickr Albums with a single keystroke. Until someone can sell me a Flickr extension for Photos (how I yearn for a FlickrUppa version for Photos), the "solution" appears to be:

• Edit photos in Photos
• Arrange in photos into albums
• Export photos to a different folder on the hard drive
• Fix duplicate file names, order of photos
• Change from Photos to Safari and navigate the web menus to upload to Flickr
• Create a new set on Flickr and add the recently added uploads
• manually edit and add video files, rearrange them using the web organizer
• delete duplicate folder on the hard drive
• repeat

(10-20 minutes)

Previously:

• Command-E
• Click or name a set
• Return

(5 seconds)

This is a workaround, but it takes a *ridiculous* amount of time compared to ⌘-E. It's adding actual hours.

The photo editing tools may be better in Photos than it in iPhoto, and it can handle a larger library, but it has been three or four years now and Photos still doesn't have some of the basic functionality of iPhoto: dark background, sort by newest, arrange like photos with each other and specifically exclude others (without creating albums), tab to next title when entering data, useful batch editing...

I'm trying to avoid leaving the ecosystem all together but all the professional advice I'm getting is to bail and pay for another app/service.

My frustration is that is is not that "Flickr has not provided an extension" as much as "Apple removed an essential feature with their update."

I do appreciate your help though!

Well, it seemed like a good idea and I tired that. It strips all the metadata from Photos photos. I would have to spend another seven hours manually editing titles, descriptions, and tags in the Flickr editor.

Apple needs to restore the share option. I never would have "upgraded" to have my workflow destroyed.

I don't like the idea that I have to export a thousand photos to the hard drive, then upload them in order, then delete them, then repeat. It doesn't sound like a solution but does sound like necessary wear and tear on the hard drive.

I believe Flickr was bought by SmugMug not Facebook (I have no interest in sending file to FB). Regardless, Apple photos used to export photos to Flickr with all of the metadata intact. (For me, as recently as two weeks ago.) The recent update removed this feature. I shouldn't have to wait for Flickr to come up with an extension as Apple already had the functionality in place in the Photos app. (And has had it in place for years, including in iPhoto.) In the software update Apple *removed* this function. Hence my frustration. I would not have allowed the update had I known.

Thank you!

Right there with you. I've been an acolyte since 1988. This is the last straw.
