NOTE: This project is no longer under active development, please contact the administrator if you're interested in taking it over.

About
The application allows online/offline mode management of your photos. You can upload, search and download photos, through the easy to use interface.



Why should you be using it?

Web based organizer's are moderately slow, updates take time, you can only use it when you're online. When you have thousands of photos to organize, the time adds up. DFO on the other hand, stores all the updates offline, and with a simple and intuitive graphical interface, allows you to be way more productive. You'll never dread having to organize sets, edit titles, descriptions and tags for the hundreds or thousands of photos you've accumulated. And you can do all this editing, when you're just trying to kill your time in train, or that long plane trip.

What all does it provide?

1. Uploading and downloading of photos. You can download selected photos or the entire sets.
2. Edit information attached to photos; delete photos from stream.
3. Add/Remove tags associated with photos.
4. Create new sets, edit set information, add/remove photos from sets, delete sets.
5. New in v0.4 Add/Remove photos from Group Pools.
6. New in v0.7 Add/Delete/Edit comments. Text search comments and their author names.
7. New in v0.7 Post photos to blogs.
8. New in v0.7 Easy Drag-n-drop photos from nautilus for uploading.
9. New in v0.7 Image preview in file chooser dialog, shown when uploading photos.
10. New in v0.7 Edit title, description, privacy and tags of photos set for uploading.
11. New in v0.7 Allow reverting of edits done to photo.

Important note regarding v0.7

For all the existing users of DFO, to view the comments of your photos, you'd need to delete sqlite.db file located in $HOMEDIR/.desktopflickr, and do a sync after that. DFO will repopulate photo information, and also retrieve the corresponding comments. This doesn't apply to the new users of DFO.

Important note regarding v0.8

Fixes released in this version:

1. Instead of storing all the thumbnails and small images in a single directory, they're now sharded in subdirectories, hence avoiding the 'too-many-files-in-one-directory' issue.
2. The conflict resolution is only done when there're noticeable changes to the images, hence fixing issue 13 .
3. File extension is now extracted from information provided by flickr server, instead of defaulting to JPG.
4. DFO crash upon entering apostrophe s ('s) in set name.

If you're upgrading from v0.7, please delete .desktopflickr directory located in $HOME_DIR. This would prompt DFO to re-download the thumbnails and small images to a new directory structure.
