[Shotwell] enhancement request: return flickr url after upload

[Joseph Bylund]

I wish there were an easier way to get from the flickr photo page to the 
original size image.  It would be absolutely fantastic if you could 
embed a link to the original size image in the image comment (so you 
could get there in one click from the photo page) using this proposed 
feature. I'm imagining something like tagging the photos with 
"http://www.flickr.com/photos/$flickruser/$flickrid/sizes/o/" and having 
it replace $flickruser and $flickrid on upload.
