I am using iPhoto 8 – 7.3.1 (634) and wanted to get Flickr export working. This is what worked for me:
http://www.dustin.li/Publish/Software/Entries/2007/12/26_Free_Flickr_eXport_iPhoto_Plugin.html
It was free, installed properly and worked.
This did not work:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/flickrexport
It looks like the guy open sourced it – stopped supporting it and now sells a 12 pound version of it. The open source version no longer works with the version of Mac OS and/or iPhoto that I have.
I am happy for folks to make money off free software – I also think that as part of an intelligent market to go to the lowest price acceptable alternative. It also kind of bothers me when folks open source the crap version and then close source the current version. But some open source is better than none in case someone wants to pick up the open source fork and move it forward.
Frankly I used the plugin once and then realized that what I was trying to do was not going to work – create a private distribution of photos – for 4-5 precise people – not just my Flickr friends. Because the material needs to be vetted before it is made public.
Funny – it turns out that sending around a few DVDs is the best solution for now. Strange. But all in all it was nice to use some free software for 30 minutes and understand my requirements.
Separately funny – Picasa from Google might make me happy – it seems totally locked down – but for the life of me – I cannot find the site where you see Picasa photos online. Everywhere I go, it wants me to sign up – and when I try to sign up it tries to install PC software on my macintosh – hmmm… Crazy.
After wasting a few hours trying to find a decent way to share photos privately with a small group of people – I gave up and burned a DVD. Funny in this day and age…

I just want several users to see the same photo library on one iMac computer. This is what worked:
Taken from: http://ad.hominem.org/log/2005/07/acl.php
Move the library you want to share to /Users/Shared/Pictures/iPhoto\ Library
Make a soft link
cd ~csev/Pictures
ln -s /Users/Shared/Pictures/iPhoto\ Library/ iPhoto\ Library
Turn on ACLs on:
sudo /usr/sbin/fsaclctl -p / -e
Give each account permission on the iPhoto Library
sudo chmod -R +a “drchuck allow read,write,append,delete,list,search,add_subdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directory_inherit” /Users/Shared/Pictures/iPhoto\ Library
sudo chmod -R +a “csev allow read,write,append,delete,list,search,add_subdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directory_inherit” /Users/Shared/Pictures/iPhoto\ Library
sudo chmod -R +a “brent allow read,write,append,delete,list,search,add_subdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directory_inherit” /Users/Shared/Pictures/iPhoto\ Library
Interestingly this page did not work – perhaps it does not work if the iPhoto library already exists:
