I don't think so, but I've been wondering about asking for it, so that one
can update the comment and tags on a photo -- often I will upload some
photos and then realise that the comment is wrong, or I want to change the
tags.

Conveniently, each photo in flickr has a unique identifier, so you can store
that in the f-spot database when they're uploaded.

If you can get a unique key from their upload, it should "just work", right?
:)

I woudln't do it with tags, I'd keep an "upstream" table with a foreign key
on the photo, and an ID field for the upstream ID, and a foreign key to an
upstream enumeration table (which would just enumerate 'f-spot', and the
locations of your galleries)

>What if I have two different Flickr accounts?

So the upstream enumeration table should keep login details for various
webapps, I think :)

How do you currently handle having different flickr accounts?
