NAME

thickr_upload - Upload photos to flickr.com from a GUI

SYNOPSIS

thickr_upload --email <email> --password <password> [--title <title>] [--description description] [--public <0|1>] [--friend <0|1>] [--family <0|1>] [--tag <tag>] [<photos...>]

DESCRIPTION

GUI tool to upload images to the Flickr.com service.

Photos can be added in three ways:

listing them on the command-line

loading them via the File|Open menu (multiple select is supported)

drag and drop to the preview area (hopefully)

The user goes through the photo list updating fields and uploading images. Additional photos can be added at any point in the process.

OPTIONS

None of the options are required. The user will be prompted to fill out things as needed.

--email <email>

Email address of Flickr.com user.

--password <password>

Password of Flickr.com user.

--title <title>

Title to use on all the images.

--description <description>

Description to use on all the images.

--public <0|1>

Override the default is_public access control.

--friend <0|1>

Override the default is_friend access control.

--family <0|1>

Override the default is_friend access control.

--tag <tag>

Images are tagged with tag. Multiple --tag options can be given, or you can just put them all into a single space-separated list.

<photos...>

List of photos to upload. Photos can also be added after the user interface is launched.

CONFIGURATION

To avoid having to type email and passwords and such (or have them show up in the process table listings), default values will be read from $HOME/.flickrrc if it exists. Any field defined there can, of course, be overridden on the command line. For example:

        # my config at $HOME/.flickrrc
        email=me@example.com
        password=secret
        is_public=0
        is_friend=1
        is_family=1

BUGS

Plenty, no doubt.

During upload, GUI blocks. Not sure how to best handle this right now. We do shorten the delay as much as possible by using async uploading.
