FlickrExport and iPhoto 6
Just to clear something up, FlickrExport has been reported to work as normal in iPhoto 6 – when running on PowerPC Macs. I don’t yet know the situation on Intel Macs (I suspect mixing a PPC plugin with an Intel host app won’t work), but I’ll figure it out when my Macbook arrives

Rather stupidly I’d been looking the ‘Share’ menu, instead of the File > Export one. I don’t know what made me do that, it’s always been there hasn’t it?
Thanks for prompting me to try it again, it works fine!

If I recall correctly, any PPC plugins present will cause the OS to run the main app’s PPC binary instead of the Intel binary. I could be way off base; any MacIntel owners tried it yet?

According to the latest TUAW podcast, FlickrExport does NOT work on the intel iMacs.

I couldn’t get it to work on my new Intel iMac that I received yesterday.
This is my first mac, though, so I could just be a stupid newbie.

I was worried about iPhoto 6… It’s great it works with no problems… You should update the home page pointing this out.
@Brandon. Congratulations!!!… I’m a recently switcher as well…

I just tried FlickrExport with an Intel Mac, and I can verify that it doesn’t work. It should be just a matter or recompiling FlickrExport as a Unified Binary, so it has both architectures in it.

Seem to be having problems with uploading multiple pictures (3 worked, but not 7) from iPhoto 6 on a G4 PowerBook. And i just got my Flickr pro, so am furiously uploading a fair few pictures!!
Otherwise it works well – thanks!

Chris, PPC plugins won’t force a universal binary to run as PPC. You have to do ‘get info’ for the application and select the checkbox ‘run using Rosetta’ if you want to use PPC plugins.
