The new beta UploadrĪ few days ago, exactly by visiting the Flickr Upload page on the Web, I noticed the suggestion to download the new Flickr Uploadr app. I’ve been using it more frequently in the past months - it’s reliable, it offers tag auto-completion, it lets me upload to groups, and it’s generally what the Flickr Uploadr app should be. Meanwhile, the Upload page of Flickr’s Web interface has got better since the latest site redesign has sedimented. A couple of things I would have added, functionally, were auto-completing tags based on the tags you had already entered in the past, and the possibility to upload the photos to the Flickr groups you’re subscribed to.Īs I said, not a fancy application, but useful and quite compatible with my kind of workflow. In recent years I’ve come to rely on the first-party client Flickr Uploadr, which, while not having a particularly attractive UI, has been doing the job.Īs you can see, it’s easy to add one or more photos, enter the necessary information, and upload. One exception was possibly 1001, a nice application by Adriaan Tijsseling, but development has ceased a while ago.
I’ve always found the uploading experience to be lacking, no matter the tool, whether it was the Flickr’s Web interface or third-party applications.
It takes some time, as I want to enter tags, a proper title (and sometimes description), and the photos have to be filed in one of more albums and uploaded to the relevant groups I’m subscribed to. Since the start, I’ve also tried to be meticulous, and that’s why for me uploading two or three photos isn’t a casual or a quick 1‑click task. Over the course of these past ten years (!) I’ve used Flickr constantly but I’ve never ‘mass-uploaded’ entire batches of photos and I tend to not follow other Flickr members who do so. I’ve been on Flickr since October 2005, and I’ve typically used my Flickr account as a way to showcase: a) what I consider some of my best efforts, b) specific photography projects - like Little Light Left, Inception: architectural visions, and 1:60 - and c) geeky photo albums to document something in particular, like IBM WorkPad, The return of the 5.25″, Carry on or Cameras.
