Flickr upload tool turns 3.0, goes open-source

Flickr on Thursday released a new version of its tool for uploading photos to the Yahoo photo-sharing site, and made it an open-source program in the process.

Flickr Uploadr 3.0, available for Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5 and for Windows XP and Vista is now available in source code form, too, governed by version 2 of the General Public License (GPL). Open-source software may be freely modified, copied, and shared; opening source code could let programmers modify the Uploadr tool so it works on Linux or uploads to other photo-sharing sites, for example.

Uploadr lets photographers select photos for upload, add tags, organize them into sets, and change privacy settings. Among the changes in Version 3 is the ability to set the photo order in sets and to add new photos to the upload queue while others are in the process of being transferred.

Uploadr 3.0 also inherits Flickr's multilanguage support: English, French, traditional Chinese, Korean, German, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese.

Flickr also released a new statistics tool Thursday for pro users (pro accounts cost $25 per year but are free for those who get DSL through Yahoo-branded deals). Flickr Stats shows whence visitors came to look at your photos, either from within Flickr or outside on the Web.

Stats also shows totals for recent viewings of photos and compiles data such as how many photos have tags, geotags, and comments. Views of your photos can be sorted by viewing totals, comments, favorite status, and the ever-elusive "interestingness" ranking.

That's the way to do it.

You don't need to make a linux version of your software; just give us the source or clearly documented protocols and API's.

You don't need to make a linux driver; just give us the hardware specs.

You don't need to make a linux site; just stick to W3C guidelines.

And in some cases, you don't need to bother at all with Linux, because we'll make something ourselves that's better than whatever you're selling.

It's not about products; it's about services.

Could have just added support for FTP or SFTP/SCP. Those clients
already exist on all platforms.

Well, I personally got burnt a couple of times tüp bebek tüp bebek on eBay purchases, usually in the shipping cost department.

However, the badly saç ekimi saç ekimi broken thing about eBay is the lousy, decades old UI: where AMZN constantly cleaned up and polished its UI, eBay's remained messy, noisy, hard to use for all but the power seller or buyer.

Every time I must re-learn where are my trades, the messaging interface is butt-ugly, not to mention the double sign in procedure to use PayPal (which they own); for a company that thrives on its community they did a royally incompetent job of harnessing the power of Social Media.

So while Nick's prognosis is evden eve nakliyat IMHO dead on, the causes are not that grandiose, but simply the story of company that is being punished for thinking it could do no wrong and sitting on its ass while others were catching up and offering a better experience.
