I'd like to be able to keep my Flickr account somewhat mirrored to what I post in my Gallery. The goal here is not to keep an exact mirror of the photos, but to keep a some current photos in the stream. This maintains the social networking aspect of flickr (friends and contacts see who has recently updated photos) and also serves to link back to my Gallery.

Flickr allows you to post photos by email (they assign you an address). Wondering if this is possible through an email notification module of some sort (automagically emailing the address with the actual file each time you upload something).

Alternatively, there are various scripts that parse RSS feeds (eg http://www.aaronsw.com/2002/rss2email/) and send them to an email address. What would be amazing would be a check box and fields somewhere in the rss module (perhaps on the list tab) that would on a daily basis take the new items in the rss feed and email the actual photo file to an email address.

Perhaps I'm the only one that wants this, but maybe somebody has a script they are using that does something similar. Thanks!

This is on my to-do list prior to "releasing" my own gallery. A "publish to flickr" tool that links back to my gallery would be quite helpful.

Glad to know I'm not the only one. Perhaps a handful of us could pool some funds and pay somebody to do it?

I have an upload program which sends me email when an upload occurs. The email includes the photo name (it is a number). I then have to manually move the photo from my upload program to gallery to use the slide show. I could (somehow) write code that would move the the photo to gallery but I wonder if such a module exists.
Thank you

This thread started in 2006, does not seems that a solution was found but I've got to say it's still a very good idea...

I would love my last updates to be automatically posted on my flickr account !!!

maybe G3 ?
