Hmm.. I was just using it yesterday after battling with juploaR (which is nice and good, but doesn't offer the capability to DL/sync the pictures from Flickr) I then saw flickrfs, (which I initially thought was in gentoo portage (supposed to have gotten included on Jun 24 but a sync later still didn't see it) Downloaded version 0.3.1 and ran w/o any issues. Ran into some troubles and wanted to send some feedback, (marred by the need to register into google(can't remember my gmail acc user/pass) but didn't. Anyway.. since you're posting here.. here's my 2 cents. (I would love to debug it for you, but this thing runs on mono, which is uncharted territory for me) 1. No intuitive was to add new tags to pictures. (after meddling around, I found out that I can just directly type in a new tag in the "edit" box. DUH!) 2. Syncs w/ flickr is not real-time(?) eg: I upload picture to flickr, upload is successful. (shows up in the flickr website), but not in DFO. Do a sync again, still no new uploaded pics. Shutdown (entirely) and restart a couple of times, even to the extend of deleting the .desktopflickr directory and re-syncing again. Works maybe half the time. (IIRC) Also keep seeing a (known) mono bug? (DesktopFlickrOrganizer.exe:14948): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to set text from markup due to error parsing markup: Unknown tag 'a' on line 2 char 100 3. No way to resize the Window size. (this is bad for ppl w/ small screen sizes. I work on 1280x1024 / 1440x1050 / 1680x1050 screen sizes so it's still bearable for me. (else it would mean dragging left/right) 4. The Upload photos option can be made better. (current gnome file-menu has deficiency in that it offers no preview/thumbnail mode so you can see what you want to upload in the dialog box. Would like to have another box much like the "Drag photos here to remove from set/permanently" and one can have a nautilus (with preview) enabled in another window to drag/drop. 5. Still way much better than fireuploader. (though lacks in comparison to juploadR due to the drag/drop interface) 6. Is there a preference to do the photo resizing? BTW, great piece of application, even with all the above items. Since I just hate dealing with the website, even if it's like AJAX'ified as it's slow and counter-intuitive. Let me know if I can help. _______________________________________________ Slugnet mailing list [email protected] http://www.lugs.org.sg/mailman/listinfo/slugnet
