Flickr Remote Organizer for GNOME (frogr) 0.2

[news 28]

Hi,

 

The 0.2 release of 'frogr: Flickr Remote Organizer for GNOME' is

out. It's still a very early release so do not expect a very

complete application, bug-free code and the like, but just a basic

application which should work ok in a regular basis for a regular user.

 

* What is it ?

==============

 

Flickr Remote Organizer for GNOME (frogr) intends to be a complete

application to remotely manage a flickr account from the GNOME desktop.

It uses the flickcurl library [1] to communicate with the server through

the publicly available flickr REST API.

 

At this moment frogr is basically a flickr uploader for GNOME, but the

plan is to iteratively evolve it towards a complete flickr manager which

should allow things such as modifying properties for already uploaded

pictures, managing flickr albums an so forth.

 

This project is Free Software and published under the terms of the GNU

Public License v3.

 

* What's new in 0.2 ?

=====================

 

* Generate ChangeLog from git log with 'make dist'

* Added .spec file for fedora 11 packaging system

* Added drag'n'drop support for loading pictures in frogr

* Added support to add tags to pictures (instead of just replacing)

* Fixed (legacy) support for libgnome2 to compile in debian lenny :-)

* Use accessor functions instead of direct access and removed some

deprecated GTK+ symbols
