`Flickr script` causes Darkable to crash

[jtmart]

Describe the bug

I installed the Flickr exporter Lua script from https://github.com/arru/darktable-scripts. The installation went fine, but when running it causes Darktable to crash. I guess the Lua script might be outdated, in this case is there anything up to date I can use?

Steps to reproduce

1. Open Darktable in normal or debug mode (i.e. "C:\Program Files\darktable\bin\darktable.exe" -d all)
2. Go to "export" module/pane
3. Select "Flickr script"
4. Click "export"

Expected behavior

Not crash...

According to the attached log the flickr script wasn't found and didn't load.

Where did you install the script to?

Are you using script_manager or are you manually editing the luarc file?

Spun up a new darktable install and added the flickr script. Started, stopped, and restarted darktable with the flickr script enabled and no crashes.

What puzzled me is how the "Flickr script" target could appear in the export module, if the log shows that this script was not found and did not load.

I'm closing the issue for the following reasons:

• Not reproducible when following the steps in the issue description

• It's not even clear how what was described in the issue could have happened (the attached log shows that the script was not found and was not loaded, and the steps for reproducing describe that the corresponding target in the export appeared - it just can't be)

• No additional comments from the issue author.

There's simply no point in keeping the issue open, as it's unlikely that new information will be provided. If this happens, the issue can always be reopened.
