Hej hej,

I know I'm picky, anyway: Can you please avoid top postings?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry :(

You've posted two screenshot mockups of your ideas, but they don't
explain how and where I set up the FTP address after clicking "FTP
Server" or where I define my Flickr account.
And what if I have more than one FTP server? "Quick uploads" also
doesn't mean much to me as a context menu item. Maybe "Upload file(s) to
a server".

Uhm... I will try to explain what's on my mind a little bit more.
Take for example an FTP upload.
The steps I want to reproduce are :
             1) select the file(s) you want to upload
             2) select "quick uploads" (or better "Upload file(s) to a server...") and choose the service
             3) insert informations (address, directory where to save and eventually the new name of the file on the server) or get it from a previous saved bookmark
             4) click ok, and you are done.

Well, for managing more ftp servers or more account, I think to add a "bookmarks" functionality to the extension so you don't need to re-insert static information for each upload.

Well, the other way round I can ask "How extensible is your
proposal"? :)
I just would like to avoid duplicating code that already exists and
could be used, e.g. in Conduit...

At the moment I don't know "how extensible" my proposal can be. I'm agree on the code reuse, and of course, if I can take some parts from Conduit (or better, use their api) I will do that.
