How to: upload pictures to Flickr

**quinnanya** · March 2nd, 2011

I highly recommend Frogr for uploading to Ubuntu. Its 0.4 release, which came out just a month ago, works just as reliably and well as the official Flickr Uploadr for Mac and Windows. It also includes tag auto-completion.

I tried Postr, but it kept crashing on all my machines; Frogr has been both stable and easy-to-use ever since I've installed it.

Frogr seems to only have GUI interface from what I see. Still looking for a good auto-mount like solution.

Have you tried Conduit? It sounds like it might do what you need. I was able to install and configure it on Maverick without a problem, but I stopped short of attempting a sync, since I don't have a directory that has all my photos in it and didn't want to risk deleting anything.

hmm. conduit seems pretty slick and easy to use. the big downside for me is I can't find a way to have it run recursively on a pictures directory.

For example I may have a folder /media/pictures, with dozens of subdirectories from different events. When I create a sync in conduit, it forces me to select an album. Then all the files are uploaded flatly to that one directory. Perhaps I'm missing something or there's a workaround ...

Unfortunately, from what I can tell, it looks like you'd have to set up each folder separately in Conduit to get the effect you're looking for. The folks who provide support for Conduit might have some ideas for how to automate it; the Conduit page on GNOME live has info about the IRC channel, mailing list, Google Group, etc.
