FlickrMetadataSynchr

Added extra retry option to clone a picture without adding padding to the metadata. This helps with improving robustness by being able to handle a larger variety of pictures.

Updated version number to 1.4.4.0. Fixed crashing issue by handling FileFormatException and skipping over files with troublesome metadata that triggers this exception.

Added AssemblyInformationalVersion attribute. Compiled FlickrNet.dll to be AnyCPU. Added AnyCPU build configuration.

Changed the referenced FlickrNet assembly by replacing it with a tweaked version that ignores unknown attributes in PhotoInfo. Changed version number to 1.4.3.0.

Upgraded to version 3.1.3995.0 of FlickrNet (changeset 81710). Added extra exception handling for robustness to handle a case of corrupted image metadata.

Fixed PhotoInfo.cs in FlickrNet version 2.1 to work around a change in XML output from Flickr.

Fixed high impact issue that prevented syncing by updating the FlickrNet version used. Now uses 3.1 Final Release (79247). Version number of the app is now 1.4.1.0.

Changed version number to 1.4.0.0. Upgraded to Visual Studio 2010 solution. Changed target framework to ".NET Framework 4 Client Profile". Now uses FlickrNet version 3.1 (compiled from changeset 78452). Fixed geocoordinate sync bug.

Added some missing code comments. Some refactoring: break up of large methods. No functional changes.

Improved error handling by showing the name of a local picture file with corrupted metadata in the log for more error cases.

Improved exception handling when reading metadata for local files. Explicitly added default value for FlickrIdBehavior setting to configuration file.

Fixed some build platform configuration stuff. Final check-in for version 1.3.0.0.

Also made updating metadata on Flickr multithreaded resulting in an up to 10 times speed improvement in this sync step. Refactored code to make this multithreading async stuff very generic.

Removed FlickrNet caching and added multithreaded fetching of metadata from Flickr to improve performance up to 10 times for this sync step.

Added configuration option to overwrite pre-existing ImageUniqueId information in EXIF with the Flickr id.

Increased version number to 1.3.0.0.

Increased version number to 1.2.1.0. Fixed bug with ImageUniqueId that only occurs on Windows 7. Final check-in for version 1.2.1.0.

Fixed a bug that crashed the application after a non-JPEG file was downloaded. Now uses version 2.2.0 of the Flickr.Net library. Included copying license files in build process. Outputs the application version number to the trace window.

Increased version number to 1.2.0.0. Added robustness for users who don't have a Flickr Pro account. In that case downloading pictures is not supported, because the original pictures are not available on Flickr.

Added a configuration setting to disable author sync. Refactored metadata merge into a separate class. Final check-in for version 1.1.0.0.

Another refactoring of the image matching. Dropped the original idea of using a flickrId=<id> tag. Now uses the ImageUniqueID metadata tag (EXIF and XMP) with a FlickrID=<id> value to identify a picture.

Improved multi-threading for metadata update using WIC. It now uses a background STA thread instead of the UI thread.

Fixed two issues: superfluous synching of empty description fields, issue with "show activity log window" checkbox getting out-of-sync.
