Downloading Batches of Photos from Flickr Using Ubuntu
Like many people, I’ve got loads of photos stored over at Flickr. This is a sensible thing to do given my love of re-installing Linux every few minutes with total disregard for the files stored on my computer. That is, until I discovered that you can’t actually print directly from flickr if you live in the UK.
I found myself searching for a tool which would allow me to download all of my photos as a batch, so that I could then upload them again to a photo printer.
The best tool I found for Ubuntu is actually a firefox extension. It’s called ‘Firefox Universal Uploader’ and you’ll find it here.
This firefox plugin supports Flickr, Picasa, Youtube, Box.net, Facebook, Webshots and OmniDrive, although I’ve only tried Flickr personally. Downloading is a breeze, and after identifying your account, your photos and folders are shown in a familiar FTP like format. Simply select the ones you want, select the location you want to save them to, and click on the arrow.
Just how I like it, Simple.
