FlickrMate 1.6: Image Uploading

Okay, last FlickrMate release until I’ve written about something else. I’m going to do a short series on TextMate’s tm_dialog and creating custom nibs. All the information you need is out there, it’s just really scattered and half of it is in mailing list archives. I’m going to pull it together into one reference that should make things a little easier, especially for people who aren’t used to Interface Builder (like me). Anyway, FlickrMate 1.6…

It seemed like a logical final step to be able to upload an image to Flickr and link it immediately on your blog. You can drag an image into a blog post or select it from a file dialog and be presented with the above screen. All fields are optional. You can set it to private and still view it on your blog with the direct link, which gives you the ability to store a photo on Flickr, tag it, describe it, etc. for use on your blog without having to make it part of your public photostream. You can also choose a photoset. You can’t create new photosets at this point. Upon a successful upload you will be presented with the same insert/link dialog as the other commands, allowing you to insert an image tag of any available size with width and height attributes, or the same image tag linked to an image of another available size.

I also noticed while going through the flickr API docs that they request that the sorting of photosets and images be left in the users manual sort order. So I’ve taken out the alphabetical sort function and it will now present the photos to you the way flickr does on the website.
