The new version uses multiple threads to fetch info for and update multiple pictures on Flickr at a time. This results in a speed improvement of up to ten times during these steps in the sync process.<br /><br />The functionality is otherwise unchanged.</div><div class="ClearBoth"></div>erwynSat, 08 Aug 2009 22:55:42 GMTUpdated Release: v1.3.0.0 Feature Release (aug 08, 2009) 20090808105542Phttp://flickrmetadatasynchr.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=31296<div>The major new feature of this release compared to previous released versions is greatly improved speed. <br><br>Previously fetching from and updating metadata on Flickr was done on a picture-by-picture basis one at a time.

These older versions generate an ImageUniqueId/System.Image.ImageId metadata value that is invalid according the XMP spec. It should be the hexadecimal representation of a 128-bit number, which amounts to 32 characters in the range 0-9 or A-F.<br><br>The old format is <i>FlickrId=&lt;FlickrId&gt;</i>. The new version uses <i>FF4649&lt;padding&gt;&lt;FlickrId&gt;</i>. This string will be exactly 32 characters long, which is achieved by padding with 0 characters. An example of a generated ImageUniqueId in the new format is <i>FF464900000000000000003595605328</i>. In the old format this was <i>FlickrId=3595605328</i>. The prefix <i>FF4649</i> is just a way to distinguish these ImageUniqueIds from others, for example those generated by cameras.<br><br>If the metadata of a local picture needs updating and already contains a FlickrId in the old form, it will be converted and the ImageUniqueId will be updated.<br><br>This issue is tracked in work item <a href="http://flickrmetadatasynchr.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=10093">Application crash due to invalid ImageUniqueId on Win7</a>. </div>erwynFri, 05 Jun 2009 10:48:51 GMTUpdated Release: v1.2.1.0 Bugfix (Jun 05, 2009) 20090605104851Ahttp://flickrmetadatasynchr.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=28292<div>This release has no new features compared to v1.2.0.0.<br><br>It only fixes one bug in v1.1.0.0-v1.2.0.0 that only seems to occurs on Windows 7.
