In attachment you can find a first implementation of a nautilus plugin.
When you right click a folder, a "Synchronize to Flickr" item is added
to the context menu.  If you click it, you can provide a username and
photoset name, press ok; and your files are sync'ed.

What you need:
* python-nautilus; to enable nautilus python extensions
* put the files in the tar under ~/.nautilus/python-extensions
* restart nautilus [1]

What can be done better:
* currently the implementation uses its own glade file; this should
become a ConfigureSink mehtod, just like the export dbus object has

Good idea

* the entered username and photoset name are not stored yet; so you have
to fill it in each time you want to sync

Cool. Not a big deal.

Both are easy things to do, so don't hesitate if you want to help
out :-)

John, is it ok if i put this under tools folder in trunk?  Feel free to
comment on the code also.

Wahoo! Commit to tools/nautilus-extension please!

I will have a play today

John
