What do you mean, photos that are uploaded before by f-spot, or
manually, or anything except conduit will not be picked up by conduit.
Only things that were once sync'ed by conduit will be handled by it.

We decided to support photo sets because it corresponds with the
"albums" that are used by other services as picasa or smugmug.  I don't
know flickr enough to say if it's possible to sync to the photostream;
should have to check.

No; you can specify no tags (which means all photos), or select some
tags.  So you could select all tags except the ones you don't want to
sync.

They should remain public.
