I have it working right now thanks to the great job in FlickrNet. The
process is:

1. You select the photos you want to upload to Flickr

2. The Export Flickr dialog is open with a URL that you must open in
your browser in order to give rights to F-Spot to work with your account
in Flickr.

Something like the screenshots in 4 and 5 steps from the Flickr Auth
process recommended for desktop applications [1].

3. You can start using the Flickr API against your account and now it it
easy to upload the photos.

You can read about all the auth process in:

I have to complete the UI and I will send a patch to the list in order
to start working with the new Flickr Auth system. If someone wants to
read some code about how it works:

Test example:

FlickrRemote.cs modified in order to use the new auth system:
https://acs.barrapunto.org/svn/f-spot/src/FlickrRemote.cs


Using FlickrNet will enable us to reach a great integration with Flickr.
Kudos for FlickrNet developers!

Cheers
