Flickr Uploadr loses some metadata

Richard Akerman noticed that when he uploaded his photos, prepared using Picasa, into Flickr using the Flickr Uploadr, some of his metadata was going missing.

Specifically he noticed that if the Uploadr was used to resize his images, uploading from Windows (Uploader 2.3) caused the keywords to go missing, whereas uploading from a Mac (Uploadr 2.2) caused the EXIF data to go missing.

His article is a good introduction to using Picasa to add metadata to photos

• caption
• keywords
• geolocation via Google Earth

He also has an earlier article specifically about geocoding with Picasa and Google Earth.
