Downloading Flickr photos
October 1st, 2011 at 10:13 pm by Dr. Drang
My wife has a legitimate complaint about Flickr: it requires too much busywork to download photos. I like putting my personal photos there, and while it’s easy for her to review the shots I took, if she wants to download some to email to a relative or post on Facebook, she has to do an…
