I am very pleased to announce the first alpha-release of the Flickr-Plugin for Canola, current features are the following:

* Display the users photosets, favorites and images which are not part of any set
* Search for images with specific tags in the users images
* Display the contacts of the user, their photosets and of course the images in their photosets
* Display the latest 20 images of the most interesing images on Flickr
* Display the groups you and your contacts are in and the images which are contained in the corresponding group pools, limited the the 20 latest ones.

For more information and screenshots, head over to my blog at http://blog.geekbu.de/2008/08/canola...first-release/

You can get the .install-file here: http://mobilevdr.garage.maemo.org/canola-flickr.install

Please post your ideas and problems here.

HA! this is nice )
I will for sure install and use it, this is one my first wishes since the beginning of canola design ( my first canola flash has the "send" "send to flickr" option )) but this is even better

Thanks!

And it's coming as opensource

Thank you very much, the send-to-flickr-option is one of the points i would like to implement in the plugin, basically every function from Flickr is usable through the Flickr-Api (http://www.flickr.com/services/api/), the question is just how these things could be integrated in Canola. (For the send-option, an entry in the contextmenu of the local imageviewer would be the best, i guess, i just need to figure out how to implement this.)

I guess i should have contacted you at the Summit too, i only spoke with Etrunko and showed him the plugin.

Regarding the opening of Canola: This is really great news!!!

Hi Chelli,

Your plugin is a great addition to Canola. I'm going to try it right now.

At times it seems slow to load, but neat to play with.

Beautiful - great to have Flickr integration in Canola via the add-on.
This is great and a good use of Canola.
Thanks a ton - now I can chuck those iPhone layout based Flickr web sites to browse my Flickr albums.

Also saves me the trouble to copying my photos over to the N810 to view them seperately - since now I can just browse them via Canola-Flickr.

Chelli, not only that:
If you need our help, let us know we can help you not only in the development side throught the team, but also in the design side. We will use it and analyze it, and "report" bugs and patches as well in ui if you want

also I will put a task for Miguel (mperes) so we can provide you the icons for the main themes! it's the least we can do

Cheers from Brasil!

Marcelo

Just wanted to add some more info - it works absolutely great over Wifi, I could ditch storing all photos on internal memory and instead view my photos traisght from the Flickr site pretty well - and since my phone allows to uplaod straight to Flickr vis Shozu, thsi is a great combination.

I tried the same using my 3G connection, and over here it seems a bit slow though - and so when no wifi is available maybe its better to have some photos stored internally rather than view online.

But anyway, I ditched sites such as iPhlickr or Flickr mobile anyway and am using Canola-Flickr now.

My one wish, in teh full screen mode, is there a way to show the title of the photo as well ?
Also can comments against any photos be also shown in some more ?
