Upload Single Folder

[ikwyl6]

I already have pictures and videos uploaded to flickr.

Instead of having this script sync all my folders, I'd like to just upload a single folder (or update/sync an already existing set on flickr with additional pictures). If creating a new set, I'd like it to use the name of the folder/directory name.

Is this possible?

It is slightly possible, but it isn't particularly well suited to doing it this way. The problem is that the script by default only has 1 path at a time for everything (config file, history file, etc). You can tweak the settings, but the "only one" thing means that it'll get confused if you want to sync another completely separate folder.

i.e. at first you want to sync / upload ~/photos/Holiday so you set that all up in the config file. When it's done, you decide you want to sync ~/Pictures/Party... the problem now is that you'd need a whole separate bunch of config settings to change the input directory. And when it's done, if you update the Holiday folder, you have to go back and update the configuration. Yuck.

I think what's needed to really fix this use case is some sort of command line easy option where you can just say "sync this folder" and it'll do the Right Thing without needing to tweak config files.

Yes, if a command line option was added, you could give it the folder/dir name and it would recursively upload the photos/videos.

Any idea when this kind of thing could be implemented? Alternatively I guess a bash script could be made to do the same thing.

When I get round to it... it isn't a priority for me atm though just another thing to not forget to do :)
