FlickrUploadr

FlickrUploadr

FlickrUploadr is a tool to upload your pictures to Flickr. There are some official tools for this task, but they aren't available on Linux, so I wrote my own.

Good news: Eric Weigle glued my code together with Cameron Mallory's authorization code to build a great new version with support for the Yahoo! authentication scheme.

This version of FlickrUploadr is written in Python and Gtk, using the PyGtk bindings, to install it, download the tarball, unpack it and install the package: 

    # python setup.py install

in the directory where you just unpacked it. If you get an error about a missing Makefile, you need to install the Python development package from your distribution.

Then you can run it from a shell: 

    $ Uploadr

Just drop files over the window to upload the pictures.

A window will pop up asking for the pictures' metadata (title and tags). At the end of the upload a web browser window will open with the pictures you just uploaded, allowing you to add descriptions and change captions and tags.
