Send To Flickr: a Flickr photo uploader for the Gnome desktop (Linux)

There are three ways to use the app. The easiest is to just drag and drop a photo onto the desktop icon. Send To Flickr adds a desktop “dropbox” that allows a photo to be dragged and dropped directly to Flickr.

You can also select one or more images, then right click and click Scripts, then Send to Flickr from the menu.

Finally, you can use it at the command line:

sendtoflickr FILENAME...

where FILENAME is an image file for upload to Flickr.com. Multiple filenames can be separated by spaces or you can do stuff like “sendtoflickr *.jpg”.

You’ll find a selection of icons in various sizes (scalable too) in /usr/share/icons/sendtoflickr.

Download

The best way to install Send To Flickr and get automatic updates is to download it from my PPA (add ppa:jwatson/ppa to your software sources).
