Early "preview version".

Current features:

  1. (*) Increase display-size and quality of "old" photos:
    On Flickr photos uploaded before March 2012 are only available for browsing in image-versions up to 1024 pixels wide or high, and on photopages or photopages in lightbox-mode the photos are not upscaled even if browser-window is much larger. With Stig's Flickr Fixr the photos are first upscaled to fill space in browser-window. Secondly the script looks for availability of original uploaded version of photo and if found it replaces the 1024px version with the original. Note, many photographers doesn't make the original available, but when they do, this can significaly improve the photo display quality on for example 24+ inch desktop monitors.
  2. Show photographer's albums on photostream-pages:
    Stig's Flickr Fixr adds a right column on photostream pages, teasing the 10 first albums from the photographer. Unless photographer has re-ordered the albums in Organizer, the 10 first albums are the latest 10 albums created by the photographer.
  3. Photographer's other photos by tag-links:
    On Flickr tag-links currently leads you to a page where you can explore your own photos with this tag, photos from people you follow with this tag and a global search for photos with this tag. But the (second?) most obvious, photos from the same photographer with this tag is not an option. Stig's Flickr Fixr adds this option by adding a link directly on the tag (when hovering it) pointing to current photographers photos with this tag.
  4. A fix to actually show a geotagged photo on the linked map:
    Currently when a photo is geotagged on Flickr you can follow a link to a map showing the location where the photo was shot. However this map does normally only show latest or most "interesting" photos in the area. Usually the photo you was looking at is not included on map or in the image-strip below the map. Stig's Flickr Fixr adds the photo you came from to the image-strip below the map, and "opens" it. To see exactly where it was taken, click twice on this photo in the image-strip to close and re-open it; Now a star shows on the map pointing to the exact position of the photo.

(*) A few additional notes regarding the first feature:

Currently the script only do upscaling and potentionally replacement on the standard photopage and on the photopage in "lightbox mode". It does not touch the "slideshow mode". But Flickr already do upscaling in slideshows. In a future version of the script I might try to add the possibility to replace with original also in slideshows.

It is only possible to replace the 1024px version of a photo with originally uploaded version when the photographer allows access to the original version in settings. A lot of photographers doesn't do that, and in these cases only upscaling of the 1024px version can happen.

Original photo files can be pretty big (megabytes). If you are on a slow connection or especially if you have an internet connection where you pay for the amount of trafic you use, you probably don't want this script installed right now. In a future version of the script I might make it possible to turn off unwanted features individually.

Zooming does not work as expected on a photopage when the script has upscaled/replaced the photo. I might try to fix that in later version of the script.
