For a long time I was looking for the most convenient way to upload photos to the Internet. Periodically heard about the site Flickr.com. Decided to try.
Going to flickr.com when trying to register, it turned out that you need to have an account on yahoo.com. Well, that's okay, the flickr registration service redirected to the yahoo registration page, and then returned. Delov for a couple of minutes.
E-mail from yahoo is nice enough by the way, but gmail as the main mail doesn’t change it.
After successfully registered, uploaded the first photo. The interface was very convenient. Above photos you can perform a bunch of different actions, from turns and scaling to the built-in flash editor in which you can get up quite complicated things.
Photos can be grouped into Sets (such as local groups, so to speak) and in Groups (as I understand, these are general groups of photos, until I use them). Each photo can be assigned tags.
I especially liked the ability to link to a picture depending on its size, very quickly and simply.

After playing with the site, I decided to simplify the process of uploading photos. To do this, put the
Postr .
sudo apt-get install postr
The program is simple to horror, there is simply nothing superfluous. Its only purpose is uploading files to flickr. Add a photo or several, specify the name, description, tags, sets and upload to the site.
After that, I remembered that I recently installed
nautilus-actions-config . There was a reason to try it.
sudo apt-get install nautilus-actions
Going into nautilus-actions-config (System-Parameters-Configuring actions in Nautilus), created a new action, specifying the following properties:
Menu Item & Action Nautilus Menu Item
Label: upload to Flickr ...
Tooltip: Upload to Flickr
Action Path: postr
Parameters:% d /% f
After that, an additional item “upload to Flickr ...” appeared in the right-click pop-up menu.
Now, in order to post a photo on the network, I only need a couple of seconds
