New free app for advanced Flickr users - Lemmy.World
I’ve been working on a project to improve the uploading and queueing experience for power Flickr users. ShutterQueue is an uploading tool for Flickr that allows users to queue uploads and schedule them over time, including support for adding photos to albums and groups. It solves the problem of having dozens or hundreds of pictures you want to post, but you don’t want to flood your followers’ feeds and your groups with images all at once. Read about it and download it here https://www.flickr.com/services/apps/72157720963418680 [https://www.flickr.com/services/apps/72157720963418680] Specific features that are included: * Queue up to several hundred files at a time * Schedule them to post at intervals between once an hour and once a week (adjustable by the hour) * Schedule them to post in batches (so it could post 3 images at a time, once a day) * Set all key properties for a photo, including (all support editing in batches): –Title –Description –Tags –Privacy –Safety Level * Add photos to any Group or Album –If an attempt to add a photo to a group fails because you’ve hit the limit for that group, it will hold that group addition in a special queue and keep retrying until the photo is added to the group (following prescribed group rules) * Includes the ability to set ‘off’ hours where it won’t post during certain hours of the day * Includes the ability to post only on certain days of the week I’m making sure to have binaries built for Windows 64-bit and MacOS (I can test on an Intel Mac and Windows, but not on a M-chip Mac, so appreciate testing and feedback!) Linux users can download the source to make their own builds. It’s all open source, at least these initial versions. And I admit I’m purely vibe-coding this. I’m not a developer. So if anyone is, and they want to offer any recommendations or advice, I’m definitely open to it. I’m going to be working on some other new features coming soon, including: * Many UI improvements and tweaks * A few speed enhancements (hopefully) * Improving the ability to sort and filter through lists of groups and albums * Ability to create customized, saved ‘sets’ of groups (Example: 1 click to add to all the “Architecture” themed groups you’re a member of) * Ability to prioritize which photos are being added to different groups in the group-adding queues. * Ability to minimize to the system tray for Windows (and the Mac equivalent) * Add geo data in the app before it is uploaded (helps with groups that require geo-tags for additions) * The ability to manually throttle addition rates for certain groups, since some groups state “please don’t flood” rules, but don’t actually hard limit additions in their settings. If you have any other suggestions, feel free to make them here or on the github repo.
