Correct, there is already a nautilus extension that adds upload/export
functionality using Conduit.

It was not enabled by default in the last release, but if you install
conduit from SVN, or from our PPA you should see it.

I've builded Conduit from svn , I enabled the nautilus-extension but nothing appear on my nautilus so I still don't know what this extension exactly do.

However, I have made another mock-up.
I was thinking in merging step [2] into [1] by making it as a submenu of [1]. The [3] is the dialog where you can insert information (also metadata information) of the file(s) you are going to upload or you can load it from a previous save bookmark.
An other improve could be done in making some keybindings so , for example, the user select a file press Alt+F and the flickr dialog comes up.
That's basically all, I hope you get a more clearly idea.

Ciao,
Daniele
