FlickrExport – a Flickr Uploader Plugin for iPhoto

FlickrExport is a cool plugin for iPhoto which helps you export photos to Flickr easily, effectively and amzaingly with many features. With its tight integration with iPhoto, it makes it must have companion of your primary Photo Management software is iPhoto and you upload lots of Photos to Flickr.

The latest version FlickrExport 2.0.1 was released today.

Some of its salient features are

  • Edit titles, descriptions and add/select tags individually or in group
  • If you wish, you can resize your photos before uploading
  • Create a new photoset with your photos, or add them to an existing photoset
  • Automatically send your photos to a Group Pool on Flickr

FlickrExport requires Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) or later on PowerPC Macs and 10.4 or later on Intel Macs. Of course, iPhoto 4.x, 5.x or 6.x is needed.

By far, FlickrExport is good enough. Nonetheless, here are my wishlist –

  • The tags should be selectable checkboxes, so one do not need to bing it to the tag text field. So, select tags and add new tags at the same time. Refer to 1001.
  • Ability to add to multiple Group/Photo Pool. So, this should be another checkbox-able scroll list.
  • Ability to add to multiple Photo Streams/Sets. So, this should be another checkbox-able scroll list.

How to install SVN plugin for Mac’s Finder?

Do you missed the TortoiseSVN plugin for Windows Explorer? I missed it terribly. I was living with RapidSVN for quite sometime. It is not that bad but I needed a bit more satisfaction than that. I was really wishing that I can get SVN integration right in the File Browser – The Finder. Eclipse Projects are well taken care of by Sublipse. What about the other projects that do not necessarily come under Eclipse – where I just monitor the codes, file hierarchy, et al and not really get involved with.

The solution came in with 2 free software – SVN Client and the SCPlugin.

Step 1 – Downloads

Before we start on How to install/use SVN plugin for Finder, let us download the following files

a) SVN Client – get this easy to install Package from Metissian. For the bravehearts, they can compile the source from Subversion.
b) SCPlugin

Step 2 – SVN Client Installation & Confirmation

a) Double click the SVNClient Installer and follow the steps to install it.
b) Add to PATH & Confirm SVNClient Install (follow steps below)

(iii) Type the following 2 lines –

PATH=”/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/subversion/bin:$PATH”
export PATH

(iv) Save this using Control + O in the Pico Window
(v) Restart your Terminal
(vi) Type “svn” without the quotes to confirm, it should says something like “Type ‘svn help’ for Usage”
(vii) That’s it, SVNClient is now installed and functional on your system.

Step 3 – SCPlugin Installation

a) Double Click the SCPlugin Installer and follow the steps to install it.
b) Restart Finder. Well, you really cannot restart Finder, so either Restart your OS or Force Quite (Command + Option + Escape) Finder and Relaunch.
