Overview

Upload one or more image files to flickr.

USAGE: flickr-tools Upload jk path/to/image …

Flickr metadata is determined from the picture’s IPTC metadata: title - iptc/Headline description - iptc/Caption tags - iptc/Keywords minus IGNORE_KEYWORDS and PRIVACY_KEYWORDS privacy - privacy level is set to the given PRIVACY_KEYWORD if also the ‘privacy’ keyword is present in iptc keywords, public otherwise.

The keyword-to-tags treatment might seem strange, the reason is that Bibble uses hierarchical keyword trees which get flattened when written to IPTC meta data. That’s why my pictures have these abstract first level keywords like ‘place’ and ‘year’ which I don’t want to appear on flickr.
