Flickr Uploadr v3 beta is out
There are plenty of ways to get pictures from your Mac up to Flickr; among them the 'official' and free tool, Flickr Uploadr, which is now being revised to version 3. The second beta version of v3 is out for download. This uploader is an open-source project, so anyone interested in the source code can download that along with the compiled app.New in v3 of the uploader tool is the capability of tagging, sorting and setting permissions on multiple photos prior to the upload to Flickr, along with a preflight resize to reduce data transfer and help keep you under your upload threshold. The beta currently has a menu display problem under Leopard but seems to be otherwise functional and speedy (Christina noted that it's dramatically faster than the web-based upload tool). Get those turkey pictures online!

That last sentence made me laugh out loud... isn't there another plugin to do that straight from iPhoto?

It will upload, but it isn't as feature-rich. http://connectedflow.com/flickrexport/

Phil, the 'plenty of ways' link points to the iPhoto plugin.

Plus, you can select your iPhoto stuff from within Flickr Uploadr (or drag and drop), including any of your sets or collections, so if you don't mind opening up a relatively small program - it gets the job done better than a plugin.

I love this little app, and it just got better — WOOHOO!
I do wish they'd get rid of the prompt to take you to flickr or not after the upload is done. That should be an option in the preferences.

By reading at the Flick site I could find that this is NOT an open source application.

@Victor: The new Flickr Uploadr is indeed an open source app but we haven't made a big deal about it during the beta testing since the code will likely change a bit. Check out http://flickr.com/tools/uploadr/ for a bit more info.

Flickr is owned by Yahoo.
Yahoo help send political dissidents in China to torture and death.
Screw Flickr.
Screw Yahoo.
Sorry, had to be said.
