LJ-Sec

LJ-Sec updated to version 0.90

2012-03-13T18:11:27Z

LJ-Sec is a bulk journal entry management tool. It allows you to bulk change post security, delete posts, find and replace items, repost journal entries to other LJ-compatible servers, and other assorted odds and ends.

This version adds some advanced options that allow you to add / delete / edit the metadata stored in Livejournal entries directly. This also adds a delay that you can set between each Livejournal call, which may be necessary if you are getting "too many requests" type errors.

LJ-Sec is a bulk journal entry management tool. It allows you to bulk change post security, delete posts, find and replace items, repost journal entries to other LJ-compatible servers, and other assorted odds and ends.

This update fixes a couple of issues with using this tool on systems other than Livejournal (the interface dropdown did not show the correct setting if it was anything other than the listed items, and bugs with the default journal filename were fixed).

hi!

I tried using lj-sec on a dreamwidth account, and was able to log in and sync all of my entries, but immediately after the entries synced this error came up and the program quit

help, please?

Assistance needed, please

2011-12-23T20:40:26Z

Never mind... I worked out the problem.

I've used LJ-Sec several times in the past to bulk-change security levels and things. Today, I re-downloaded it onto a new computer in the hopes of bulk-deleting entries on an old username that I no longer use but don't want to stop name-squatting.

All of the entries on that username are currently marked private, but I want to make them gone completely. However, when I open up LJ-Sec, it shows me no entries at all.

I tried changing the radial buttons - I switched to private, to friends-only, everything I could think of, resynchronized several times, but still nothing comes up. Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

If it matters, the last time I posted to that journal was 8/10/07, but I changed the security to all-private quite recently, perhaps in 2010.

Thanks in advance.

Turns out, it helps if you haven't already deleted everything. *facepalm*

500 error

2011-10-30T18:19:28Z

I'm getting an error.

Text is:

Error connecting to the web server!

Error message: The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error.

And then of course I get the synchronization failed error.

Let me know if there's anything else I can tell that would help you track down why this is happening.

Invalid password error

2011-10-27T18:43:35Z

Since LJ's last update, I get an error when I try to use lj-sec. It opens fine, and tells me it's obtaining a synch list, and then I get an error that says "invalid password". The password is correct, I checked it twice, but I know this last update changed some of the remote log-in paths. I thought that was probably the issue. Will there be an lj-sec update coming to fix this? *hopeful*

Hi,

A while ago I wanted to make all my old entries private, so I used LJ-Sec and it worked a treat.

Now, more recently, having backed up my LiveJournal, I don't want to see them at all.

I've tried mass--deleting but all the private entries are still there.

Is it possible to mass-delete private entries?

Hi I just intalled this program, but it keeps telling me that there is a 500 internal service error, and that the server is not responding?

what's going on?

Auto Login Issue

2010-09-26T07:49:19Z

Not paying attention, I set up LJ-Sec to do auto-login. Normally not a problem except instead of just setting back on the logging screen it keeps trying to log in! over and over and over and over! I've tried uninstalling it and reinstalling but nothing seems to work. I'm not certain where the profile data is kept so I can't clear it out that way. Help, please.

Error Message on Open

2010-04-24T17:17:10Z

Hi-I just downloaded LJ-Sec yesterday in the hopes of deleting some mass journal entries. It seemed to install just fine, but when I try to open the program I get the error message,

"LJ-Sec has stopped working. Windows is searching for a solution to the problem."

And then another window pops up,

"A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."

And then the only option is to "close program." I have rebooted, uninstalled and tried reinstalling but its no good. I am running Windows Vista if that makes any difference. Any ideas on what's going wrong here? Thank you in advance!

LJ-Sec is a bulk journal entry management tool. It allows you to bulk change post security, delete posts, find and replace items, repost journal entries to other LJ-compatible servers, and other assorted odds and ends.

This is a minor edit designed to further make the IE dependency of LJ-Sec optional. This is mainly for the benefit of Mono users -- most users will not need this update.

LJ-Sec updated to version 0.76

2009-08-03T20:46:33Z

Beginning with release 0.75, stand-alone EXEs were provided in addition to the installer. This allows for easier integration with Mono. There was an IE dependency in the 0.75 release that caused LJ-Sec to crash whenever a post is previewed. This release makes this dependency optional; an alternate, .NET-native text display of the post is shown if IE is not found.

After journal updates, the sort and scroll position won't change -- should be more convenient.

Tags have been added as a column for the list view.

LJ-Sec updated to version 0.75

2009-07-01T21:18:04Z

The check state in "find items" now transfers to the main screen like it should have all along

A feature has been added allowing you to find duplicate posts.

LJ-Sec updated to version 0.74

2009-01-12T17:15:08Z

Metadata was not properly transferred when reposting entries in some previous versions of LJ-Sec. This has now been fixed.

The meta data options for reposting has changed. This is because different sites use different meta data options, and a site may reject a post if invalid meta data is present. So now, by default, only common meta data (mood, music, your user pic, and tags) is transferred over. You can still, of course, attempt to transfer all metadata if you want to.

The "load new configuration and relogin" option now actually works.

Entries left out while reposting.

2009-01-08T09:38:19Z

I attempted to move 9,100 entries to another journal, but 3,998 were left out, the error log said due to backdate option not being on, but it was.

So I attempted to start moving the ones that got left, and even if I try one at at time, with backdate carefully checked, it gives me the same error. Moving 3,998 entries one by one is not as bad as 9,100, but I'd still rather not have to do it.

Said error:

The following journal entry failed to be posted due to the following server error:
(text of post was here)
Error message: Incorrect time value: Your most recent journal entry is dated 2005-05-02 03:37, but you're trying to post one at 2000-05-04 07:54 without the backdate option turned on. Please check your computer's clock. Or, if you really mean to post in the past, use the backdate option.

EDIT: I figured out why it's those entries, so sorry if this is a known issue. But it's all the ones without subject lines that it saw as being not backdated, if I put anything into the subject line, then it posts it without the backdate error. So I just have to put something in the subject line on the remaining 3,994 unless it starts working.

Reposting to another journal site

2009-01-07T21:13:51Z

I have been experimenting with transferring my journal to InsaneJournal,and have some questions about the transfer (or not) of meta data. The help states that "LJ-Sec will normally attempt to transfer extended properties, such as mood, icons, tags, etc" but it doesn't seem to. What conditions make it fail, or not try to?

I have some icons set up but the few posts I've transferred are all set to the default one, even if the keywords match an icon already on IJ. Are icons keywords transferred at all, does anyone know?

No tags have gone across. Do I need to set up empty tags before doing any more reposting?
