IIRC, there is a way to set the description too. To do that, my plan was to use a file with files to be uploaded, their caption and description.

I don’t like the idea of using the filename as caption. Most of my files are named using timestamps (using jhead -nf%Y%m%d-%H%M%S *), which makes easier to upload pictures in correct order, but it is completely meaningless otherwise.

def add_item(self, album, filename):
”’Add an item to an album”’
(status, _) = self.request(‘add-item’, ’2.0′, {
‘g2_form[set_albumName]‘: album,
‘g2_userfile_name’: filename,
‘g2_form[caption]‘: os.path.basename(os.path.splitext(filename)[0])
},
(‘g2_userfile’, filename)
)

if status is None:
raise ConnectionError

if not status == 0:
raise self._return_codes[status]

The addition there is the line:
‘g2_form[caption]‘: os.path.basename(os.path.splitext(filename)[0])

Thanks!

I’m trying to use your script, which is a great idea btw, to upload some photos but for some reason it’s always failing. The jpegs are being truncated at 59 bytes when they’re uploaded. The verbose output, which I can send if you want, indicates that the file was uploaded successfully. I can create albums and see listings, so I’m not sure why the file upload fails. Just thought you could give some idea as to where I should start looking for the problem.

Thanks,
Kito
