ImageDropR AIR + flickr Application
April 4th, 2008I would like to introduce a little project that I have been working on to make it a little easier to get files up to various image sharing sites. ImageDropR is a Flex based AIR application that takes advantages of some of the new interactions with the desktop that are available within AIR. Upon launching the application you will see that the application consists mainly of a large area where images can be dragged or pasted in to.
Once you have brought a few images into Image Drop you will notice that a thumbnail is created for each. Rolling over the thumbnail will give you the option to remove the image from the upload queue.
Although the plans are to support many image sharing sites, currently the alpha only supports flickr. On your 1st upload attempt you will need to authorize the application to interact with your flickr account.
Once you are verified, you may upload your files to flickr. You will notice that each file shows its own progress as well as overall progress for the upload batch.
There are a few additional buttons at the top of the main application window allowing you to open the help, settings, and log windows. The log window is pictured below and this will show the applications upload activity. There are also buttons for sending feedback and checking for application updates.
Want to be a beta tester? Please leave a comment below and I will be sure to get you access next week.
