Flickr Rip Support Limited

[Fonziesthumbs]

Hello,

The homepage says that Flickr is one of the supported sites for the ripme program. Some pages are still unable to be ripped. For instance I tried ripping three types of flickr pages and none seem to work.

Tagged Flickr page: https://www.flickr.com/photos/8189261@N05/tags/raych/
Album/Sets Flickr page: https://www.flickr.com/photos/8189261@N05/sets/72157628866931619/with/7052912871/
User Flickr page: https://www.flickr.com/photos/8189261@N05

Flickr pages with numbers like 8189261@N05 instead of usernames don't work at all. Only flickr pages with names in the url such as https://www.flickr.com/photos/constaza/ work. Unfortunately, the program doesn't rip albums or tagged pics in usernames though such as https://www.flickr.com/photos/katj2day/sets/72157638291120306/ -or- https://www.flickr.com/photos/katj2day/tags/sexy/. This can be troublesome if a user has thousands of pics and you only want to get an album or tagged pics.

If it's possible to add numbered users like 8189261@N05, album/set rip capability, and tags rip capability, that'd be fantastic.

Irregardless of all this, I love the program so far and look forward to it getting better everyday. Appreciate all the effort.

To add to this, I would LOVE to be able to rip whole groups..

A group I follow, https://secure.flickr.com/groups/bookcovers/ 58,000+ images!!

The main issue is you're viewing content that can only be viewed while signed in. Signing in to flickr programmatically is difficult and is not planned to be supported any time soon. Mentioned in #8 (comment)

I agree that tags aren't supported. Provide the URL to a flickr tag that is publicly visible and I'll look into supporting that.

Should this issue be closed since it is wontfix, or are you keeping it live so you have a catch-all for similar issues that get posted?
