Also, JAVA_HOME is not supposed to include the bin directory, but instead point to the Java installation. I'm almost certain other apps would make the same assumption. Dan,

A better description would have been that it's not obvious to the casual observer. :-) For the life of me, it simply did not occur to me to select them all and right click (before pressing the upload button). Not only does it work but it rocks! Anyone out there who is having doubts because this is a Java application, this is a non-commercial announcement: It doesn't suck. Not one damn bit! I really like the way it shows you the photo being presently uploaded and a check mark for each photo that has been completed superimposed on the photo itself. Cute. One thing that I did notice is that the preferences that I set for the default Privacy (Friends and Family) appeared to be ignored when I do the upload. I'll do some more testing, but it appears that one does have to set these also by right clicking and checking Friends and Family. My testing was on my OS X laptop, so I'll give this a whirl on Linux, which is where I plan to use it. Thanks for your hard work on this application. Hopefully, the Flickr team will get a clue and give this app the plug it deserves. There is an argument to be made that it's superior to the Windows Flickr uploader! George Steve:

Sure there is! Select the photos you want to add by either single-clicking on them or by right-clicking the jUploadr window and clicking 'Select all photos', then right click and select 'Add selected to', your old photosets should be in jUploadr, and there should be an option to create a new set. "The Flickr folks really should give you a plug for this heroic effort." Yeah, but they don't. jUploadr gets no respect. :( George:

There is only one minor nit that I wish to pick. It seems like there is no way to add the photos being imported to an existing or new set of photos. Anyway, keep up the good work!

What processor/OS are you running? All the JPEG scaling code is handled by SWT, and I'm kinda limited as to the quality. I can file a bug with the SWT team, and they've been fairly responsive, and if you want, I can see by trial and error if I can improve quality without involving the SWT people. Vieira,

Any plans to improve on that? Thanks for such a great software. Hi

However, since zooomr is essentially a flickr clone, I decided to include zooomr support in version 1.1. I've been making great progress with 1.1, and zooomr support is next on my list. If you like, I can send you a development build when I get it done. I'd anticipate sometime in the next few days. Dan:

I've got a Zooomr mod v1.0RC1 but it would be sweet to get the most recent version working as well. Thanks! Any chances of updating v1.0 to work with Zooomr??
