Some photos randomly get skipped

Issue #28 resolved
Hayden Schiff created an issue

Hey, I've been using your Flickr2Commons tool a lot, and I really love it, but lately I've had a few issues where it won't detect every photo in an album. This album has 635 photos, but Flickr2Commons only detects 475 photos when I put in the photoset ID. The photos it skips are consistent (i.e. if I reload the page and put in the same album ID, it'll skip the same photos), but they seem to be more or less random -- I don't see anything that distinguishes them from the other photos. For example, looking at the first couple photos in that album I just linked:

To my eyes, everything seems fine with the No photos -- they have the same CC BY license and everything else seems to be the same. Would you mind taking a look at this and seeing what might be causing Flick2Commons to skip these photos? I am the owner of that album, so if there is something that needs to be fixed in the album, I can change it.

    Hmm, this actually seems to be a bug with the Flickr API -- I only see 475 photos when I manually make the flickr.photosets.getPhotos call myself. I'll try reporting the bug to Flickr...

    Never mind, apparently the Flickr Uploadr randomly made some of my photos private for no reason. There's no bug, sorry for wasting your time.
