Vista Flickr Uploader

Flickr is already offering an official tool to upload images to the image hoster. The software is supporting several operating systems and another tool made by a third party has to add features that the official uploader is not supporting to have any chance to being recognized at all.

Vista Flickr Uploader is a specifically designed Flickr image uploader for Windows Vista. It makes use of the Extensible Metadata Platform support of Windows Vista. The downside is that XMP is not supported yet by Flickr which means that the only distinguishable feature that the application is offering is not supported by Flickr.

It will however be interesting if Flickr is adding support for XMP in the future. Other than that the Vista Flickr Uploader is supporting the usual features of an uploader.

Several images can be selected and uploaded at once. Each image is shown as a thumbnail in the program window. Permissions can be set so that only a certain group can access the pictures and it is possible to select one of the existing sets to add the images to it.

    You guys should check out Windows Live Photo Gallery. We worked with Flickr to make sure our app (which uses both XMP & EXIF) does the “right thing” when publishing photos to Flickr so all the metadata remains with the files you publish. Check out this blog post: http://blogs.msdn.com/pix/archive/2007/10/23/sharing-your-photos-on-flickr-is-seamless-with-windows-live-photo-gallery.aspx

    Cheers,

  2. Of course, Kubuntu comes with a Flickr uploader already built into Digikam. It supports a few other services as well.

    Yeah Micheal’s right, Live Photo Gallery has a great tool for this, if only they extended it to support a few more services… it cant be too hard
