flickrFavs v 0.1

I love flickr, and i wanted to have my favorites in my hard drive in order to see them with picasa or something like that.

So i made this .Net application using the Flickr.Net API with a little modification. I guess you will need the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 beta 2 (here) to run it

FlickrFavs allows you to download the original size of any flickr user public favorites.

Here's a screenshot:

How to use it:

• Choose a folder to put the pics
• Enter a username and click the "get user info" button
• Wait for the user info to be displayed
• Choose the page (or pages) of the user favorites to download
• Click download
• Be pacient,... some of the pics are 5MB or larger
• Enjoy

The filename format for the downloaded pics is userId-pictureId.jpg it could look like this 38113767@N00-921348e931.jpg (pretty weird... uh?)

Flickr.Net uses a cache system, so if you started downloading your pics and for some reason you have to stop and return another day,... you can start where you left.

I made this program in just one sleepless night, so there may be many bugs. I will release the source code acording to the GPL license, but not today. Today i'm very tired,.... I release it today, 'cause i know myself. If i don't do this today... well i'm a perfectionist and that is my curse

Anyway, if you're interested in the code (which is very simple) i can send it to you.

I'm planning to incorporate some other fancy stuff in this little program, like organize the pictures in folders by username and title, show a progressbar for each photo, etc.

By the way,... use it at your own risk :P
