Vista Flickr Uploader
A tool for uploading pictures to Flickr, specifically to be used in Windows Vista. Vista is capable of managing metadata (such as title, description and tags) inside picture files by storing it in an XMP section.
(Extensible Metadata Platform, trademarked and controlled by Adobe)
However, at the moment Flickr is not recognizing XMP sections and thus Vista managed pictures uploaded from the web or using the default Flickr uploader have empty titles, descriptions and tags.

Installation
Download the Zip file with binaries from the release page or start the ClickOnce installation from this location:

Update: I have added checkboxes for specifying the permissions before you upload your photos in release 1.0.0.5.

I'm loving your VISTA flickr downloader, but I realize that one major thing is missing - on the old (XP) downloader I used, you could set what size the files were uploaded. Your seems to download the original file, which is much larger than necessary for flickr viewing. My old uploader also included a place for adding tags and also which album the photos should be added to (or creating a new album to add them to).

Can these be added?
Thanks,
Erika

Update: Look at release 1.0.0.7 for several bug fixes like the ability to select a set and the memory leak has been fixed.
