FlickrSync

FlickrSync: http://www.codeplex.com/flickrsync

This is a little {tag open source} {tag utility} that lets you synchronize the pictures on your computer with {tag Flickr}. It can also be scheduled to automate the synchronization. If you’re a picture hoarder like me the setup is a bit onerous, since there isn’t much in the way of bulk setup, but once it’s done you’re set. It doesn’t yet do videos, but does promise that in a future release; you have to add a tag to any videos on Flickr so the sync skips them instead of choking on them.

It has a nice graphical interface with a number of options for embedded folders, and the ability to customize your preferences and save your configuration.

Here are some screenshots of the various parts of the program:

FlickrSync main screen

This is the main interface. You can select folders from your computer on the left, and it shows the previously synchronized folders on the right. Choosing or un-choosing a folder for synchronization is as easy as checking or unchecking the checkbox beside the folder in the list.

You can customize the default synchronization properties via the menu on the main screen with File --> Preferences. Any preferences set here will apply to all folders that are handled by the program.

FlickrSync folder properties

This is the options window that displays when you click on the checkbox beside a folder to choose it for synchronization. It automatically names the set the same name as that of the folder. You can choose which permissions will be attached to the set in Flickr, from Private to Public; "Flickr Default" will automatically inherit whichever permissions you have set as your default in Flickr.
