FlickrExport 3 Public Beta

Finally it’s here. I’ve uploaded the first public beta version of FlickrExport 3. Please visit the beta page and watch a brief screencast of the major new features in FlickrExport 3.

To summarise, these are:

• Routing photos to multiple groups.
• The ability to store a collection of group additions and recall them for later use (e.g. “Send to all my Black and White groups”)
• A new photoset creation UI which lets you set the photoset order and key photo independently of the order in which you upload photos.
• Integration with GPS track logs to geotag images on Flickr.
• Geolocation presets: store latitude/longitude presets and recall them for later use.
• Upload engine rewritten to be more robust against interruptions.

Upgrade Policy

FlickrExport 3 will be a paid upgrade. Pricing will be announced when the final release of 3.0 is made available.

Upgrades will be free for anyone who purchased FlickrExport 2 for iPhoto or FlickrExport 1 for Aperture in 2008.

On Version Numbering

Prior to this release, FlickrExport was at version 2.x for iPhoto and 1.x for Aperture. With the release FlickrExport 3, both products will move to version 3.0.0 and develop from there. Aperture users, please don’t be confused that I’m skipping over version 2.x!

Flickr Group and Thanks

Thanks to all those who have helped me polish the beta in private testing over the last few months. We’ve been using a private Flickr group to discuss the beta and everyone is now welcome to join us there for the duration of the public beta.
