Introducing Little Syncr
I use Flickr to host my photos online.
I use Microsoft Digital Image Suite 2006 Library to manage my photo collection locally.
I want to be able to edit the titles, descriptions and tags of my online images, using a rich interface, even when I'm offline.
Little Syncr
This is my little application that synchronizes photo information between my local photos and my flickr photos.
It looks like this:
If you use Flickr...
Little Syncr will let you:
- Synchronize a directory of local photos with flickr.
- Modify Titles and Descriptions locally.
- [New] Modify Tag (metadata) information locally.
- [New] Modify an image's Photoset membership locally.
- [New] Modify an image's Visibility locally.
If you use Flickr and Digital Image Suite 2006 Library...
Little Syncr will also let you:
- Modify Tag (metadata) information locally in DIS2006 by adding Keyword, People and Place Labels.
- Modify an image's Photoset membership locally in DIS2006 by adding Event Labels.
Get Little Syncr
If you want to try it yourself, click here. Or, if you'd like, you can find out more about how it works for end users and technically.
A few important notes: Like everything these days, Little Syncr is in beta! Little Syncr is something I did in my spare time; it's not supported by Microsoft.
The good news is that it's something I use myself, so I care about whether or not it works. I'm glad to have it, so I thought I'd share :)

Let me get this right. There's something built in Irleand and it syncs. Shouldn't it be called Titanic? :-p - Anonymous

How about adding something so that only certian tags were synced? That way I could give it my whole photo collection, and it would upload only files that were marked with a "flickr" tag. :-) - Anonymous

Oh. Right. Looks like it does that already (I really need to read first, speak second). How about scan a directory recursively? Ok. I'll download and play. - Anonymous

This conversation is happening in real-time :) Yes, it does scan all subdirectories of a directory. Thanks - I should make that clear on the web page. - Anonymous
