I'm trying to use API methods and noticed that some return Ok, but if an image is still processing from a prior upload, it will just ignore the request.

For exmaple, upload an image and do a crop right away - it will return ok but the request was seemingly ignored (or overwritten) by whatever is processing.

I want to be able to lookup when this is happening for an image to know to wait until it returns that the image is not processing.

Are you starting the crop after 100% of the bytes are sent or after you get a success response from the upload? – Shizam Feb 23 '12 at 22:51

I was writing up an answer that of course our API ( http://wiki.smugmug.net/display/API/Home ) provides this data on things like smugmug.images.get (Heavy - http://wiki.smugmug.net/display/API/show+1.3.0?method=smugmug.images.get ) or smugmug.images.getInfo ( http://wiki.smugmug.net/display/API/show+1.3.0?method=smugmug.images.getInfo )...

But we don't.

I'm flabbergasted that we don't. What an obvious thing to provide, and we don't do it.

Sorry about that!

We will soon. :)

API version 1.3.0 now returns the Status parameter for image objects. Valid values are Preprocess or Open.
