Picasa2Flickr is a dream come true for many Picasa users

I was able to get this nifty open-source program working in a few minutes with a little tinkering. It adds a button to your Picasa bottom bar that lets you upload pictures directly to Flickr. When you click the new Picasa2Flickr button, a popup window appears showing whatever pictures are in your tray. Then you can add tags, sets, privacy, and size settings for Flickr. You then have to click two buttons, first “authorize” then “continue” whereupon you’ll be sent to a Yahoo/Flickr login.

To get the plugin set up, I used the manual install. Navigate to c://program files/picasa2/buttons. Create a file called picasa2flickr.pbf. Paste this code into it.

If you use Firefox, you’ll need to next go to http://picasa2flickr.4now.net/register.html and authorize the java.Then open Picasa, select some pictures, click the button, and off you go!

My dream is for someone to create a similar button that adds images to a custom Gallery2 install. Now that would be beautiful!
