I got the WordPress iPhone app a while ago but haven’t tried it – Safari actually works pretty well itself. Looks like there’s a way to post photos though, which sounds fun. Here’s one of a disgusting fur pile:

Flickrpress 0.3 for WP 2.7
I updated flickrpress to work with WordPress 2.7 and also added and fixed some things. It’s now possible to insert a variety of photo sizes, rather than just tiny squares. There’s a template function that you can use in your sidebar to display some flickr photos. Note that you’ll need a flickr API key to use this plugin. Here’s an example of what this plugin does:

Photopress 1.5 for WP 2.7
This will likely need some refinement, but major bits seem to be working with WordPress 2.7. If you notice things that still need to be fixed, please let me know.

Thanks to Brad for noticing the broken link!
Thanks to afperea for noticing the broken demo album – fixed by refreshing permalinks. Wondering if there’s a way for Photopress to do that…
This version is only for WP 2.6-ish – I’m working on getting my plugins working well with WP 2.7 over the next couple of days. The upgrade to WP 2.7 is going to be rough on my users, but hopefully they’ll like it once they adapt.
In the meantime, Steven Alm found an issue with album display – if you aren’t using permalinks it’s much easier to use the page ID than the page slug, but Photopress wasn’t looking for page IDs. This version fixes the problem with a spot in the options to specify a page ID for the album page. I also noticed the album style stuff wasn’t getting inserted properly. Finally, this version fixes a huge performance issue when using Photopress with other plugins that use preg_replace.

Digikam-pocalypse
I’ve been using Digikam to organize my photo portfolio into albums and tags for quite a while. I have something like 2500 photos, with a few albums and a LOT of tags. The new version of Fedora comes with KDE 4, which apparently includes a new version of digikam. Normally this would be a good thing – more features, prettier interface, etc. Unfortunately, the new version’s database is a little different, so it’s gotta import photo info from the old database. Sadly, it failed to import mine for some reason, maybe because I have so many tags or photos. It started up fine with just the photos, making a new database from scratch, but my old tags obviously weren’t there.
I thought about just waiting patiently for an update to digikam to see if that’d fix it, but I figured I’d poke around in the meantime. Digikam stores its photo info in a SQLite database, which can be messed with using the SQLite Manager add-on for Firefox. Sounds strange, looks pretty ugly, but it works well enough. SQLite databases are just files so I made a copy of my old database and the new, empty database to work with. The old and new databases looked pretty similar – there are just a few new tables and some tables have new fields. The tag-related fields look exactly the same though, so it’s pretty odd the import failed. I’d hoped to just use SQLite Manager to just copy the old tags tables into the new database, but the image ids were sadly different. All my image names are unique, which meant I could run a query to match up the old and new image ids using the image names as a key, then replace the old ids in the copied-over ImageTags table with the matching new image ids. Complicated, but it worked…
