Project DescriptionFlickrSync is a photo synchronization application for flickr users. It displays your local folders and your flickr sets and it can establish synchronization rules between them. This way you can manage all your photos locally and FlickrSync will keep them updated in flickr.
Warning: The application is still in an early stage.
It already works and I'm using it as my flickr uploader, keeping my selected local folders synchronized with flickr, but it's not well tested and it lacks some major features.
However it should be safe to test since the application never modifies anything on your local folders and it shows you all it will do on flickr before doing it
What it does
- Configure your flickr user
- Show your local folders and allow selection of folders to synchronize (double click opens the folder)
- Show your flickr sets with thumbnails (double click opens the set)
- Establish synchronization between your local folders and your flickr sets with specified rules (only for .JPG files)
- Show synchronization folders in a different color
- Preview synchronization before applying it
- Synchronization includes uploading new files, replacing existing files that were changed locally and delete from flickr photos that no longer exist on your local folder.
- Shows progress during synchronization
- Create new sets
- Save configuration
What I want it to do
- Error checking. There's no error checking at the moment anywhere in the application.
- Preview thumbnails of images to synchronize
- When updating pictures modified locally, replace should also modify tags and descriptions on flickr
- Make deletions optional
- Filter photos to synchronize by IPTC keyword (tag)
- Manual selection of images
- Include sub-folders as part of a folder synchronization
- Allow multiple synchronization processes for the same folder (with different filters)
- Allow specification of sharing attributes (public, friends, family)
- Allow different file types besides JPG
- Allow resize of main window
- Support flickr Collections
- Exclusion rules
- Minor interface improvements
- Working under Mono
I also need to do some code review and code documentation
IMPORTANTFlickrSync requires .Net 3.0
