I'm using V3 on Mac OS 10.4.11. I am using the uploader as the final action in a Lightroom Export preset. A couple of issues
1. When the Uploadr comes up, the upload button doesn't appear. If I remove one image and then re-add it, the upload button appears
2. Once I upload the pictuere, it is NISPA'ed by default. I've tried changing this via the preferences and the settings in the upload pane, but nothing seems to work.

Changed to upgrade for my Intel iMac. No go guys. So back to 2.5. You really need to do more testing in the future. Looks like it has some decent new features which I'll enjoy using when you have the fixes sorted.

I agree with some of the people complaining about OS X Tiger issues.
No upload button (well, sometimes), the images doesn't load on the client (keep on moving, the flickr balls).
Also the new shining webclient doesn't work either xD
I have to use to old one.

I have downloaded picture from Flicker and it downs loads with no hitches. When I try to Bring it into Photoshop CS2, CS2 Tells me it is not correct JPG. I have done a lot of loading and downloading with Adobe, even re-installed PS2, but am still unable to do anything with the Pictures. Other formats or download and open in PS2 ok. I have not contacted Adobe about this, because I have had troubles with downloading Flickr picture before. Other time just gave up and did something else, but this time it is imporant to try and get them in Photoshop. Await your comments and help/ johnr.burton

Also have the problem with the upload button not appearing, when right click a photo and use the "send to flickr" link in the explorer context menu. Closig and restarting the Uploadr will bring the upload button and the photo just added are still in place.
The log doens't show any error, just told me that one photo was added, it looked like this:
"Got a file C:\Digi Photos\CanonPowerShot\2007\IMG_0001.jpg"

For what it's worth...
Yes, I as well, have a problem with the "Upload Photos" button not appearing properly. It seems to happen when I right-click on a file in explore (Windows Vista), and chose the "Send To Flickr..." menu item. (Flickr uploader was not running before I "Sent to Flickr...")
I also see these errors occurring in the console window:
Error: i: 0, p.sets[i]: 72157600286767550
Source File: chrome://uploadr/content/meta.js
Line: 129

I like the new uploader, but I have been getting problems with pictures not being uploaded and having to try up to six times before a set all gets across. The uploader tells me to check my connections, but there is nothing wrong there. My broadband is full 8mb/s with 0.448mb/s upstream; and on fast servers I get close to 1mbyte/s download speeds. There does seem to be a problem with variable delays, presumably across the Atlantic, which I am conscious of when typing descriptions directly into Flickr. Could this be anything to do with it?)

The new uploader has better and more options than the previous, but simply is not reliable on OS X 10.4.11 for me. The upload button always disappears if the application is part of an export action I have set up with Lightroom. (So, I am stuck exporting to a directory and then adding the photos "manually" to FlickrUploadr.) Then, if I try to batch edit the title, description, and tags for a group of photos I'm uploading, the fields suddenly go blank. I just found out, however, that the information that disappears, really does not and now I had 50 photos tagged with multiple titles and descriptions.
On a whole, this should be considered an alpha if one sees that there are tons of people with the same problems. (Of course, I imagine, most people who are complaining are the ones having problems and not the other way around.) I will not use this until a new version comes out and am reverting back to the 2.x version.

Awesome, friendly interface, but completely buggy. Reverted back to the old one here as well. I think the alpha version should have accompanying elevator music for the long loads.

I just downloaded V3 - love the new options. But I'm definitely seeing the problem of the Upload button not appearing. Generally when this was true the menu for "Upload" was also gray'd out. In one case it was active, but the upload did not occur. Shutting Uploadr down and restarting appeared to help.

XP user; also have the bug where in the middle of typing metadata (having selected multiple images) it'll just go blank. What becomes clear AFTER upload is that what I've typed is there; but that blanking inserts a single space; whatever I type after the blanking still gets appended, but at best, I need to go in afterwards and clear out the space - even that means going through the images one by one in Uploadr.

I am using XP, and I did completely uninstall the beta version prior to installing this version.
The first time launching the new release, my Upload button was missing and upload from the upload menu would not work.
I closed the program and relaunched it, and the button was there. I was able to upload a batch.
Because I was having such trouble uploading large batches during the beta, I've been trying with small batches.
Each time, when I try to use it again for the next batch, the Upload button is gone, and I am unable to use upload from the menu to upload the photos I have prepped. Restarting once or twice gets me the upload button back. Luckily the work I've done does seem to stick after closing it down and restarting it.
Even though I am doing small batches, I am having failures that I have to retry to upload completely.

I downgraded to the previous Uploadr which has always worked great for me (my home PC runs on XP) and uploaded a photo in two shakes. I'll give the new version a go as soon as the rough edges are polished. No big woop.
Thanks again for all the hard work.

XP version installed. Looks like a good step, but connection bugs render it unusable. It only uploads the first picture of a set, and tells me to wiggle my wires (tried disabling firewall and peer guardian) This should still be a beta.

I'm running vista and the new uploadr is FANTASTIC! Before while I was uploading my computer would slow down(switching web pages took forever) and I would usually just walk away from the computer and then forget about it... Not so anymore! And I love adding the title, description, tags, and sorting into my sets before I upload. I would get frustrated that I couldn't add all of this before others started commenting on my pics. Thanks Flickr for another job well done!!!

In reference to my previous comment I played with it some more, and I realized that if I drag and drop to add the photos. to Uploadr, the Upload button appears as normal. Right clicking and using Send to Uploadr, works as far as getting the photos INTO Uploadr, but the Upload button does not appear without a restart of the program.

steve.portigal: This happened to me this morning for the first time. I'm looking for the cause but haven't turned up anything yet. It happened to me when adding metadata to multiple photos. Has it ever happened to you when editing the metadata of a single photo?

mstori: This is a bug that others have seen. Using the add button or dragging photos into the window works as expected. There is a problem which I'm working with right now in handling the "Send to Flickr..." menu option. I know people really love that shortcut, so it will be back soon!

Ok:
Just uploaded images with several bits of IPTC and tags, including city, state and country. While the various elements got to Flickr ok, ( as Toronto, Ontario, Canada) it was displayed incorrectly in the tag fields of the Uploadr - (Toronto, Ontario, Ontario only).
I left it and it fixed itself on upload (only at the site) so this looks like a display issue in Uploadr only.
[edit: It seems to be pretty flaky on picking up on IPTC stuff anyway. Of three images with batch tags added (through iView Media Pro) and descriptions on all of them, only 2 of the three went into Uploadr with them intact. After checking everything had been saved in iView properly, and re-adding, the same picture refused to show tags or description in Uploadr. This time, it didn't fix itself through Upload, so wasn't a display issue].

I want to like the new uploadr. It has some cool features.
But, it is unreliable at uploading (many half way failed batches), slow (seems to upload slower), and on the Mac at least, it jumped from being a very small application to an enormous one.
I will stick with the nice, built specifically for the Mac, version 2.5 for now.

Wow I absolutely love the look but holy **** is this thing buggy. I open it up and immediately the console is full of errors. Photos won't load thumbnails and say they're 0x0. Can't remove photos. Upload button appears and disappears. It's hard for me to believe this thing was actually beta tested... it behaves like an alpha. I'll be sticking to the old Uploadr until some SERIOUS work has been done on this.

I'm also going back to the previous version. The new one seems to be headed in the right direction, and almost works for me... but the problem with accented tags is a major letdown.
Uploader 2.5 imports accented IPTC tags without problems, but the new version seems to use another codepage. Here you can see the correct tags on the right, and how they look when imported by Uploader 3.0 (on the left):

Hmmm. More flakiness:
Added a batch of images - started upload to account 'a'.
Batch then clears automatically (grrrr).
Upload is happening (apparently) in the background.
Added same batch again, this time intended for account 'b'.
Switched users - confirmation of changing privacies as a batch to new defaults - 'yes, do it' is clicked.
Start second upload. Watch it for 10 seconds or so.
Upload one subsequently fails partway through.
Upload two also drops a crapper as well - incidentally not having applied the batch privacies that I confirmed when switching users.
Uploadr then hangs. Solid.
Despite clicking a confirmation button to cancel the upload, nothing happens. Change users (in case it matters) and click cancel - nothing happens after the confirmation stage.
There is no way to recover the batch and find out what went and what didn't - one of the main failures of the last Uploadr - when an upload fails, the app should NOT leave you guessing. It should show you either/or the ones that went and the ones that failed.
So. Upload fails and all information is lost. This was a major bug bear in the last one. How is the Uploadr supposed to deal with multiple batches anyway? There are no tabs to view each batch (unless one appears in an error state when the upload fails).
Scenario is this: Two separate batch uploads. Both fail partway through (say a network failure modelled by pulling the plug on tinternets). How does the Uploadr display two batches that have partially uploaded to the user? The information looks 'cleared' from the display. Unless all uploads are 100% fallible (ie not on this planet) then it needs to display a helpful error state after failed upload.
Exactly like the last Uploadr, it doesn't do anything of the sort as yet. I hope it does something different if it doesn't crash, but I can't tell. I think the batch (perhaps through tabbing) should remain visible until all is good, and tell the user that it all went ok without having to wait for the pop up (which is STILL bloody irritating) to go to Flickr or stay there.

Oh, and why does it have two 'Upload' headings in the menu bar at the top of the page? One (after Help) doesn't work - ie isn't clickable - but if you are clicked and slide your mouse across - ie the menus are dropped down, it jumps back to the first 'Upload'.

It sure is pretty, but unfortunately, does not work on either of my Macs.
On both computers, I sign in, drag and drop photos into the app and Uploadr just gets stuck. The little loading Flickr logo circles are there, but it never gets past that. I've also tried using the "ADD" button and had the same problem.
Any suggestions before I switch back to the old version?

Oh, boy, what feedback! I'll need to add my error messages to the list. Running Vista. Installed the new Uploadr. Clicked 'sign in' button, go to Flickr on the web, authorize the API connection. Uploadr status bar says 'signing in...'. I wait. And wait. And wait.
A look at the console shows these two error messages:
Error: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIHandlerInfo.launchWithURI]" nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://uploadr/content/ui.js :: anonymous :: line 314" data: no]

No errors, but man it took forever for that Upload button to show up! I spent a few minutes clicking around to find out how the heck I start the upload now that my photos are ready. I don't know what I did but after a while, an Upload button finally appeared at the bottom right.
Things I entered in the tag field and other places also cleared themselves as soon as I clicked away. What the heck?
Upload seems to be slower than with the older version of Uploadr. I'll probably downgrade.
EDIT: Just got my photos uploaded. What's up with "Olympus digital camera" entered in all the description fields? How annoying....

Just installed and started using, works well, although I don't see any major improvement. The one thing which is REALLY annoying is that all fields got automatically cleared after a few seconds (less than 10 apparently), which is hardly enough to fill in the tags, choose a set, select the permissions, etc. :-(((
If this is not fixed, will certainly downgrade as well as otherwise, there's nothing new that I need in this new version...

Just tried something which worked. I posted earlier re console error messages. Well, I uninstalled Uploadr 3.0.1 for Vista and also manually deleted every instance of the Flickr folder (and its sub folders) on my PC.
Then I ran install again. This time, after clicking the 'sign in' button and authorizing on the Flickr site, I got a big red 'ready' button to click! Clicking that signed me in.
So, got to base one! Now to actually try out the Uploadr...

Windows XP, when adding pictures with 'Send to Flickr' through Windows Explores the 'Upload Photos' button is not visible. The corresponding menu item sometimes is (and sometimes not) enabled. When enabled, there is no response after clicking on the menu item. Like other users reported before, all works fine after adding at least one picture using the 'Add' button.

Hmm. Flickr should've put a disclaimer on the Mac version-- something to the effect of "does not work". Dragging photos to the Uploader leads to a hang-up with the rotating-dots logo where the photos should be, and when I quit and re-boot, the same "photos" (i.e. logo placeholders) are still there. Choosing the placeholders and clicking the Remove button does nothing. How did this get by beta testing?

I guess it is redundant at this point but I too get the hanging when trying to drag photos to 3.0 on a Mac. I can keep adding photos and it notes the increase in pending uploads but nothing ever actually seems to happen.

Hmmm....just wondering.....how many people who are now finding that this doesn't work actually took part in the Beta? I'd find it vaguely amusing if the people complaining that "Flickr should be ashamed to release such beta level software" (paraphrasing) didn't actually help find these issues when the product was actually in beta.
And yes I know released software shouldn't be buggy, but it always is, always will be. And no amount of testing in a little team can hope to simulate what thousands of users will try and do with your product. Think of the team size and the number of variables and cut the Flickr dev guys some slack would you? The old version is still around, so at most you've lost a few minutes of your time helping them make this version better. You should be proud :)

I see no thumbnails in the Uploadr too. I've tried uninstalling it. I have tried dragging and dropping and going through the Uploadrs's browser.
I realized that the thumbnails are there where I select them with a rectangle, and i can upload the images but I can't which images are where.

Mostly works well (OSX 10.5), but a few major and minor things...
- tiny boxes for titles and captions seem less functional than the previous uploadr
- Am I missing how I can batch-add tags to a whole group of photos I'm uploading together? These are photos I'm not putting in a set, just ones that all have the same tags.
- I have two Upload menus at the top, one is non-functional. I had to click around until I got an Upload button, until then I couldn't figure out how the thing worked, the button was just not there previously.
- progress indicator is a lot less useful than the last one. I'd like to know what's been uploaded and what hasn't. I sort of liked the familiar progress bars, the little pink line is less obvious, to me.
- the whole thing scales messily when you resize the window. If I make it just a little bit smaller, the "cancel" button totally dissappears when I'm uploading something and I get a horizontal scroll bar in the middle of things.
So, it works fine sort of, but it really does have an alpha feel to it. Not quite done, still a little broken.

Works well for me so far (Mac OS 10.4.10, MacBook Pro / Intel Mac), except for the bug that steve.portigal mentioned upthread. When I try to enter metadata for multiple photos, all the data I've entered (description, sets, etc.) will suddenly disappear. If I look at any of the individual photos, that metadata will have been applied to the photos.
Instead of this metadata update happening automatically, it might be better to have some kind of "submit" button, so as to avoid surprises / interruptions.

I'm using Lightroom with Uploadr (v 3.0.1) as the export action and I'm having the same problem that has been reported here about the upload button being disabled on exports. It's a shame because this is a blocking issue for me as I use Uploadr via Lightroom to send my photos to Flickr.
I haven't had any problem before and I'm wondering if there's a more formal channel for sending bug reports than posting in this topic?

Did you bother to test this version with a Mac? I have downloaded it to a PowerPC and an Intel Based Mac and the problems are numerous and obvious:
1- Drag and drop pictures to uploader does not work
2- After adding the pictures using +ADD button, the red UPLOAD button shows up intermittently
3-After selecting UPLOAD from the menu it sometimes works
4-If you make a set the UPLOAD does not work
5- The Upload menue shows up twice. Once where it's supposed to be (right after Flickr Update) and once after Help, of course intermittently.
I found these bugs within ten minutes before deleting the Uploader from my machines. This lack of thoughtfulness gives Yahoo a bad name.

I'm using the latest Uploadr on a fully up-to-date OS X Leopard.
I can see the dual "Upload" menu problem fairly regularly, but I haven't figured out how to reliably reproduce it.
Also, quite often I don't have the Upload button on the window, but I do have it on the Upload menu. However, I can't actually Upload, since the menu option does nothing (neither does it work when I use the keyboard shortcut). But by clicking on "add" and then cancel the upload button reappears.
I can provide screenshots/debug reports if you want. Google Talk me at stewart@bolidian.com.
Looks like you released this one a bit too early!

jessamyn: You can add any information to a group of photos by simply selecting multiple photos. Select multiple photos by Apple+clicking, shift+clicking or dragging over a selection. And if you click the little arrow next to the progress bar it'll bring up a window showing all the queued up thumbnails so you can watch their individual progress.
Lecepede: Can you post examples of some of the titles you're trying to set? I've tested with all sorts of characters but you may have found something outside my testing.

Thanks to myfear for the proxy tip. Worked for me from inside my corp. firewall.
Here is the method:
1. Edit Uploader prefs file. Typically, you’ll find it in:
C:\Program Files\Flickr Uploadr\defaults\preferences\prefs.js
2. Add the following lines to this file:
pref('network.proxy.http', 'your.proxy.org');
pref('network.proxy.http_port', 1234);
pref('network.proxy.type', 1);

I installed flickr uploader 3.0 and now I can't upload pictures.
I dropped 3 photos into it and it showed three red+blue dot pairs doing orbits and never stopped doing that.
I exited and restarted the program but the 3 red_blue thinsg were still there (no photos showing).
I tried to delete these pictures but it wouldn't.
If I press sign in it says "signing in" but never completes.
I uninstalled and reinstalled but the 3 orbit red+blue dots were still there and so I dropped another picture in. Now I have 4 orbiting red+blue dots.
I can't find the file for my previous version to go back to it.
Help!

I would like to second all the suggestions posted by user ToeNipples. The problem of photos not being added to any set if the upload doesn't complete 100% has been a continuous pain on the old uploader, as well as the lack of an automated resume for these frequent upload stalls. Fixing these specific problems on the old uploader were actually everything I was hoping for on the new uploader.
I'm back to the old uploader anyway because the new is not working for me on XP. It keeps failing, giving me the "Houston, we have a problem" message. I managed to get two photos up on one of my tries, otherwise it fails over and over. I reinstalled the old uploader and everything works as before.

I've just installede flickr uploader 3.0 - once I got it all ready I could'nt figure out out to upload my bach. There didn't seem to be any "Upload" button or anything?
I tried to upload a batch of pictures and create a new set for them at the same time.
So I have now downloaded good ole uploader 2.5 again.
But that really shouldn't be necessary, should it?

If I right-click a photo to upload, no Upload button. If I drag it into the Uploader window, the Upload button is there. Go figure.

@rcrowley - Thanks for the tip on the tags. When I try this, the tags I enter vanish from time to time with no seeming provocation. I did not have this same problem entering tags one by one for individual photos. This is frustrating to say the least.
update: when I go to add titles to individual photos, the batch tags I added appear in the tag box, but still do NOT appear on the batch page, so it's really hard to tell whether they've been added or not.

Ray Tomes, you just described my situation exactly, down to the number of red-blue orbiting dots.
I am on a Mac. I fortunately still have an old version uploadr so I am not stuck.
 Uploaded with Skitch!

AHHHHHHHHH!!!! I hate it!!!!
I have a set of 450 photos which I want to upload and everytime after three or four photos the upload stops and I get the "Houston we have a problem" or "XXX out of XXX photos didn't make it" remark. And everytime I have to wait for all thumbnails to load and then for another three photos to get through the upload .... :( disappointed....

Sorry, I want to like this, but I don't. (v 3 on Mac OS 10.4.11) I'm going to give it another day, then probably go back to 2.5.
I can see what you were trying to do with having the images big and the panel of stuff side by side - and thought when I launched it it would be OK, but...
I added photos, then authorised, and there seemed to be no way to upload the photos - I see from above that I have to sign in, then add photos. Both before and after, I have one photo that refuses to preview - I have a big swirly flickr dots anim (pixellated) instead. This is out of my first batch of 21 to upload. I have quit and reopened several times, to no effect.
It's not very intuitive - in 2.5 it was obvious which tags were applied to all photos, and which were individual - they were on separate sections. Having to highlight them all to add tags etc by default is annoying, frankly - its more work than just click, type, click. I'm not sure in the rectangular box for tags, whether to put line returns after each tag, or the usual spaces, or...?
The select sets listbox is smaller, and has more linewrap than the simple (and wide) select-from-a-list dropdown menu of 2.5. There's more scrolling, and it is fiddly to click on the right one.
For Safety level, Content type, Hide from Public content areas and Who can see? it would be better if the defaults were shown by, well, default, rather than blank. For Hide from Public content areas, in the dropdown menu.
It's also not using Growl, so just bounces when it wants to tell me things (like it failed to upload 20 out of 21 images, the one it did manage was the one it didn't preview - here).
And I'm just finding as I type this that if I select 20 photos, then go to my web browser for a few minutes (by clicking on the browser icon in the Mac Dock), then return to the Uploadr (using the icon in the Dock), all the settings I've clicked have reset to blank - including the tabs. And there's no "Upload" button etc visible AGAIN. And selecting the Upload menu item from the menu does nothing. And its reset all my tag information again. Did you actually beta test this?

So, I clear all 20 photos, restart the uploadr, add 20 photos, one (halfway through being added to the panel) is now a pixellated animated twirling flickr blue/pink ball-pairing, the upload button has appeared and... all worked.
But, I've just tried again (adding several photos, highlighting them all, selecting a few things (tags, content type etc), going to my browser, waiting a few minutes, going back again... then all the tags and other settings are wiped.
Also, on this menu, the text is cropped:

OK today I have managed to sign in.
There is no big upload button and the menu version is disabled.
It does work, as someone suggested above, if you drag and drop a photo into uploadr using the 'add' button. Not ideal.

Images can't be loaded if the directory structure contains Chinese characters. I got a snapshot here. And if I try to click on the image that Uploadr failed to load, it simply disappears from the batch.
This problem didn't exist in the old Uploadr.
I'm on a XP.

I'm using Windows Server 2003 Standard.
Same problem, when path contains Chinese characters, pictures added to Uploader just shown as a yellow triangle. After click on the error sign, the pictures disappeared.
I tried to move the pictures to a non-chinese path, it's work, but the Upload button disappeared then.....
I'm roll back to old version now.

Err... Hello, XP user behind University firewall/proxy which I obviously cant' fiddle with. Can't get the thing to sign in OR add photos. PLus, loads of console errors, and when I reopen it, it's in the same status as it was when i closed it. Web upload works fine. Back to 2.5 .... Will try at home, where I can kick my firewall's ass anyway I want.

Total no go. If you were considering trying this on a Mac, don't.
On 10.4.11 MacBook it hangs on loading thumbnails.
Why no follow up comment from Flickr? Hello out there?

So in the name of their own convenience, Flickr switched uploadr from being hand-written on each platform to a "universal" codebase on XUL, and of course it has less features, is less intuitive, and buggy beyond recognition.
Sad, but typical.

gmclee and Steve Liao: I have spent quite a bit of time in the past with Chinese/Korean characters, so I'm surprised it isn't working for you. Do you know if you have Short Paths disabled on your systems? And do your Windows usernames contain Chinese characters? I'd like to narrow down the possible causes before I go stabbing in the dark.
Rohit Markande: The thumbnailer (which also extracts metadata from your images) seems to be choking on some character in the title of your image. Could you paste back the entire title as you set it in EXIF/IPTC and (if you uploaded it otherwise) point me to the original so I can see what's failing for you? Thanks!

I'm on XP and have used an old version of Uploader for years. It worked last night, but today it wouldn't work. So I went to the website, and downloaded the new 3.0 for XP. When I went to run it, I got an "Error Opening file for writing" message. So I tried 2.5, and got the same message. Now I don't have any uploader. What's going on?

I'm experiencing the same problem with the V3.0 on my XP SP2 system (not with the guy that posted right before me). Right clicking on an image and importing it into the Flickr Uploader via the explorer drop down menu, it doesn't seem to recognize that there are images ready to be uploaded, but it will allow me to edit them. This problem is quickly resolved if I click the "+ ADD" icon. I don't even have to open another file, I just close the open box and it realizes there are images waiting to be uploaded.
I've been using one of the early versions of flickr uploader, and I like the functions available on this one. I think it's funny that the open box is looking for "image files foo".
Keep up the good work - WonderFlea

I'm on Vista and also having the connection problem. Although it does seem to remember where it was at, I can't upload more than about 10 photos at a time. I'm on a fast cable connection and didn't have this problem with the other uploadr. Going to downgrade, this shouldn't have been released yet. Looks like some handy new features once it's working right, but this is maddening.

This seems buggy to me using Intel Mac OS 10.4.10. When I have more than 1 photo and select them all to add description, and set the set, access privs etc the data all clears from the fields before I can upload. Please fix this, and who did the Beta testing? PS I am happy to help out in beta testing if needed.

Hello, it looks good but is not working for me. Is anyone looking into the "Mixellita problem"?? Because I'm afflicted by it, too. I glanced through the entire thread and couldn't see any reply to that one.
I might add that I am using XP, and that NONE of the previous flickr uploadr versions (including 2.5, 2. etc.) worked for me. Also the Flash web upload function doesn't work for me either. I have been living on a diet of Flickr basic web upload almost ever since I joined, I'm getting tired of that one. Every time a new uploadr comes along I get my hopes up, but so far no luck.
Funny enough, the upload function in Windows Live Photo Gallery works for me. I don't like the software but I use it for uploading now.
Any word on what this problem might be?

i'm using mac os x 10.4.11 version and notice the same issues other users of this version reported.
no thumbnails, spinning pink/blue dots, cannot edit batch, or delete photos, nothing.
waiting for improvements, and currently got back to 2.5 FU version...

oledoeSounds like you machine has some sort of (Flash?) problem, but almost impossible to tell what. (I've been using all Flickr Uploadrs on XP with no real problems).
All I might suggest is try uninstalling any Flash plugins etc., then reinstall the latest and greatest. Are you using IE? If so, you might also try using Firefox as an alternative (or vice versa). That way your alternative browser will get its own (fresh) copy of the various plugins and other gubbins.

Running Mac OS 10.5.1 and the uploader is buggy as can be. It takes about 3-5 trys to get a batch of 50-100 photos uploaded. Upload button disappears all the time.
2.5 here I come. I can't wait until 3.0 is stable...looks nice.
