Chris,

Now that I think about it, I know what’s going on - and it has to do with the very simple (and insufficient) communication I have set up between the main application and the object that’s caching all the photos.

When you click your contact, the application is correctly recognizing that there’s no photos, but it’s incorrectly checking with the cache and seeing that downloads are happening, and putting up the status message.

Because you previously viewed some images, downloads of larger sizes are still happening in the background.

So, no images are being downloaded for the contact you clicked, but images are still being cached in the background, and it shouldn’t put that up in the status.

Chris: Interesting - can you open Console.app, and when you click on one of those contacts, you should see at least one URL printed to the console. Can you send me that URL via email? (my whole name without any spaces @ mac.com). I’ll take a look and see if I can figure it out.

Thanks,
Blake

There is another strange bug:
I have two flickr contacts with 0 photos. When I select them from the contact list,
Mugshot displays that it’s going to download a quite random number of photos.
I could verify that it downloads all those photos with EtherPEG. (I’m not sure, might be possible that those are photos from other contacts).

Same here for me - got a whole lot of blankness with 0.5.5 (my first Mugshot experience) until, coming here, I saw the mention about resizing the panes. Like magic, there they all were. Strange how it goes from nothing to lots o’ photos with just a tug on the resize. I think this might qualify as a bug, because it sure ain’t a feature

Nice, in its way, though I must say that Flickit (ach, Googlit yerselfs) does a neater job for what I want - which is to grab the HTML code that will give me a thumbnail/medium-size photo or whatever to stick into a blog. Now if Flickit weren’t a Dashboard widget, it’d be perfect..

Same here. A resize made all the pretty pictures come back.

[...] The second assumption about everything running in a web browser is more interesting. I’ve been using an application called Mugshot to manage my Flickr account. I love this application because it’s lightening fast, makes it easy to download photos, and has a “send to iPhoto” function (even though most of my photos start out in iPhoto, I still upload from other sources so this is pretty useful). Mugshot doesn’t run in a browser, it’s a standalone Mac OSX application. [...]

The same happens on my machine. I deleted preferences, Cache and Application Support directories, but nothing helped. Version 0.5.1 works fine…

Chris - I had never seen this before, but it happened to me this afternoon when running Mugshot on a clean machine (i.e. no previous version prefs, no thumbnail cache, etc.). I’ll take a look. Probably just a bug in MUPhotoView that causes it not to redraw correctly when using bindings.

In the meantime, if anybody else has this issue, try resizing the window or any of the panes.
