iPhoto 09 Facebook exporter bug

I like iPhoto 09, it brings many cool features to the table. However, the Facebook exporter leaves a lot to be desired. Apart from not being able to push photos to pre-existing albums, as it creates albums with the event name for every photo set you upload, it seems to completely ignore the login credentials you supply.

Case example, I have my own Facebook account, and we have an account for our fire department. Since I was logged into my own account in Safari, entering the department’s login credentials in the plugin was futile – iPhoto wanted to publish photos to my personal account no matter what. When I logged out in Safari and logged back in with the department’s ID, iPhoto took the credentials and allowed posting to the department’s profile. I think this is a rather big bug for anyone using more than one ID in Facebook.

    The story with Whisher is that we are working on a new phase of the project – we are far from dead, but just in a transition. I will be able to announce things publicly in a few days, all being well.

    Regards,

    Mike

    But is your website up to date?

    http://www.linkedin.com/in/ferranmoreno

    Says that Ferran left in December, but whisher.com says he is still there….

    Can you confirm which is correct please?

    I also enjoy the new facebook exporter in iPhoto 09, but I notice sometimes my photos are damaged after uploaded, does anybody know what could be causing this?
