Flickr now accepts upload of images with an original size > 10 Mb for pro accounts. I looked through some flickr documentation yesterday and could not find that there is a file size limitation for the pro accounts (this may not be correct, it does not make sense to not have a file size limit for such a large website.)

Anyway, the picture size limitations should not be hardcoded into the flickr export plugin as there is a high probability for "standard" picture file sizes to continue to increase into the future. This goes for both free and pro accounts.

The most elegant solution would be if kipiplugins flickrexport could query flickr for file size limitations for the account that the pictures will be uploaded to, and warn the user that the file size of "thispicture.extension" is too large (filesize is Y) (maximum allowed filesize for the account is X.)

And first and foremost, don't give us that "filesize is zero" errormessage. No one is going to believe that. :-)
