Well, in that case, I wonder if it would be possible to add me in the facebook F-Spot Export plugin app Admins (profile is https://www.facebook.com/matthieu.nguyen ), so that I can fix the authorizations setting and see why the app page does not display on FB anymore. (Still haven't found the owner/contact for the page). I tried setting up my own app and use that instead, but that gave me other problem as I couldn't authenticate anymore, which made me think that maybe new apps don't support the legacy authentication scheme, so setting up my new app would force a rewrite of the whole plugin using OAuth 2.0 and the Graph API, or the facebook c# sdk, or both. > I've wondered actually about removing the plugins from f-spot > and instead providing them through an online service (free) since > mono-addins has that feature built in.
