Flickr Folder Action
So there are times when I don't want to import something into iPhoto just to use my exporter to send it to Flickr. Screenshots, for example. I wrote an Applescript folder action which, when files are added to a folder, will upload them to Flickr.
It uploads them initially private and tags them with "unfiled" so I can easily find them later. Yeah, it's pretty poor with respect to error handling or feedback, but it does the quick and dirty job I want from it.
