           Summary: Large images (>10 MB) cause Flickr export to fail
           Product: kipiplugins
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: flickrexport
        AssignedTo: kde-imaging kde org
        ReportedBy: x3ri7yz02 sneakemail com


Version:           0.1.4-1+b1 (using KDE KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

Flickr currently accepts photos up to fixed sizes (5MB for free accounts and 10MB for paid accounts; see here:  http://www.flickr.com/help/photos/?search=file+size#18 )

Attempting to use the kipi-plugins "export to Flickr" function on an image in excess of this size results in the following error:

        "Error Occured: Filesize was zero

         We can not proceed further"

Perhaps Digikam could check the sizes of files before attempting uploads and warn on images over 10MB?  

Or alternatively offer to resize/recompress images to allow successful uploading?
