flump is a tiny Adobe AIR app. for downloading photos from Flickr.

You supply a Flickr ID (it could be your own or someone else's) and the tool will download all the public photos from that Flickr account to your hard drive.

flump downloads the original images but only if the Flickr account owner has set their account permissions to allow the original images to be downloaded.

The app was originally developed by Mike Chambers and Lee Brimelow of Adobe and the full source is now available on Google code.

Say you come across an interesting photograph or screenshot image on Wikipedia that you would like to save in your Flickr account. How would you do this ?

Shiyan has developed a simple Flickr Uploadr for Firefox that lets you send web pictures directly to your Flickr account without you having to download that image to the hard-drive.

Image attribution can be a issue here but it's also useful if you like to backup photos from places like Picasa, PhotoBucket, Facebook, etc to Flickr.

The add-in is Firefox only but there's something similar for desktop in the form of Flickr Uploadr (video version here).

This will adds a “Send to Flickr” command to the contextual menu and lets you upload desktop pictures to the web with a simple right click.
