Unsolicited software request.

FlickrExport is a plugin for uploading photos from iPhoto to Flickr. It’s hands-down the best Flickr software I’ve used, even outperforming Yahoo’s official tools. All but a handful of my Flickr pictures have gone through FlickrExport.

Here’s the thing, though — I don’t really use iPhoto. My 45GB iTunes library and 32GB Windows partition have made me fastidious about my laptop’s limited disk space. So I dump all of my photos into iPhoto, tag and upload them through FlickrExport, and then erase my iPhoto library once they’re online.

Now I have a terabyte hard drive but there’s no good way to get my photos back. The only option I’ve found is FlickrBackup, but that loses the photos’ metadata — most importantly, the tags. What I need is FlickrImport — something that would add an entire Flickr photostream to iPhoto while keeping the tags, sets, titles, and so on. (While we’re at it, it could also sync my iPhoto library with Flickr, so that changes in one are reflected in the other. I’m not sure if that’s actually possible, but hey.)
