Hello Wukon,

as mentionned on
http://live.gnome.org/Tracker/Documentation/WebMiners/Association,
there is a graphical interface, the source code is at
git://git.mymadcat.com/tracker-miner-manager . It is however a pretty
young project, but it should work anyway.
Once configured, the miner will fetch the photos from Flickr, and
they'll be in the Tracker DB (you can identify them looking at their
nie:DataSource property). The Flickr miner does need a configuration
file to store its configuration settings. It will store the passwords
either in gnome-keyring or in a keyfile (unencrypted).
Don't hesitate to ask me if you have more questions, I'm abustany on
IRC.

Cheers

Adrien
