Flickr Downloadr
If you’re like me, you’ve uploaded pretty much all your digital photos to that wonderful photo sharing website that is flickr. In fact, you probably use it to archive your photos too. Kind of like a backup service - just in case you wake up hung over and, in the shock of the phone ringing at some ungodly hour, accidentally knock a glass of water all over your laptop, which subsequently emits some scary blue smoke when you turn it on. Or, you know, something like that.
So what happens when you want a copy of your photos on a different laptop? You download them from flickr, right? If only there was an easy way to download all of them, rather than having to grab each one individually. Well guess what, now there is (although you already knew that, because “you’re like me” apparently).
Introducing flickr downloadr!
ok, so it needs a new name, but it works (mostly).
Please feel free to download it from here and try it out. You can let me know how you get on by emailing me at downloadr@lloydie.co.uk.
Oh, and it’s at version 0.1 right now, which is a beta. That means if it breaks I’ll apologise and try to fix it as soon as I can. Also, don’t rely on it in any life-or-death situations, as it’ll probably bail on you.
If you’re using the flickr downloadr and it does break on you, please let me know by adding a comment to this page.
