dfo

DFO(1)							      General Commands Manual							    DFO(1)

NAME

       dfo - Desktop Flickr Organizer for Gnome

DESCRIPTION

       DFO  allows  online/offline  mode  management  of your photos. With DFO you can manage your existing photos and sets, create new sets, edit
       tags, descriptions, and permissions, contribute to group pools, and so on. Basically performing most of the tasks that Flickr's online man-
       agement tool Organizer does.

NOTE

       The first time you run DFO, the app won't know who you are or have access to your Flickr account, so all you will see is a window with sev-
       eral empty panes. To get started, select Connect from the File menu. DFO will open a link to the Flickr site in your default  Web  browser,
       where you must grant DFO authorization to connect to your Flickr account. This is a security precaution enforced by Flickr on all apps that
       use the Flickr API.

FEATURES

       * Add/Delete/Edit comments. Text search comments and their author names.

       * Post photos to blogs.

       * Easy Drag-n-drop photos from nautilus for uploading.

       * Image preview in file chooser dialog, shown when uploading photos.

       * Edit title, description, privacy and tags of photos set for uploading.

       * Allow reverting of edits done to photo.
