cubbi.es and diaspora re: uploading photos

Asked by

something funny I’m experiencing with Diaspora + Cubbi.es – can you help please? It looks like some kind of sync bug.

a) every time I shift+click on a photo (from a Diaspora aspect), as the photo gets uploaded on Cubbi.es…it kind of “backfires”: when I go back to my Diaspora aspect, I find that a new post has automatically been created…on every single aspect. The new post contains the photo I’ve just shift-click uploaded on Cubbi.es…its name is “my world” (in green). b) when I delete such post (from the Diaspora aspect), the photo does disappear from Cubbi.es, except that it’s file name remains hanging in the middle of the screen – or wherever the photo used to be. Logging out/in doesn’t help. You’ve go to manually delete the file name (same way as you’d delete the photo from Cubbi.es, by clicking on the “x” symbol.

Any idea?

Because cubbies shares links ONLY of pictures to THE WORLD. That explains why it showed up in all aspects and deleting it left the urls. It is not a photo upload tool, but a phot collection tool. Optionally you can link a “dropbox” account to it and your photo will be saved there as well.

I’m not sure I see what you mean. Particularly, I’d like to understand more about the rationale behind having a “photo collection tool” linked to Diaspora so that I can share my pics with “the world”…I don’t want to share my pics with the world, btw. Maybe there’s a link you can point me to where I can find info on such rationale, particularly in relation to one’s privacy.

calvani the idea is to allow people to share photos they like ON OTHER WEBSITES inside diaspora. It is not meant for sharing your pics. For sharing your pics, use normal uploads. This blog post may give you a better idea.

It is basically an image bookmarking service, not a photo sharing service. Another post about cubbies by Kevin

just tried something out: after shift-click-uploading a pic to cubbi.es, i need to delete the self-created post from any of my aspects (except from the aspect where I uploaded the pic from) and it disappears from all the other aspects as well (except from the aspect where I uploaded the pic from). If I do this, the pic doesn’t get deleted on cubbi.es.

On the contrary, if I delete the pic from the aspect where I uploaded it from, it gets deleted on cubbi.es as well (and the file name stays on till I delete it manually).
