The Flickr WHS Add On

I had some issues using the Photosync Add-On for WHS that Ed Holloway.

The images get uploaded with the name image, not the filename.
None of the photos are in a set.
There are not tags on the images.

Basically, it dumped the images up to Flickr and that was it. So, I deleted them and reposted using Flickr Uploader from the Vista box.

As I was writing this I noticed that Beta 2 of the add on was release on 6/21 and it addresses all of these problems.

Images are uploaded with the filename.
Folders are uploaded as a set.

I’ll give this another try. It promises to make publishing photos to the Internet effortless.

  1. [...] Ok, I got part of the problem solved. It took an hour and a half to write a Visual Basic script that renames the files to the folder name plus an increment. It’s extremely fast. About 2 seconds for 303 files in 76 folders. The script is here. It’s very small, 4kb. Now the problem is how to upload 76 folders. If each took 30 seconds it would take 38 minutes. So, probably an hour. Wouldn’t be great to hit a button and it would tag and upload them for me. Maybe the Windows Home Server Flickr Plugin will do it for me. It’s sweet being able to write a script to do this. Many thousands of hours have gone into training this skill and I very seldom get to use it at home. [...]
