For a while now, I'm using F-Spot to manage my photos and for even longer I'm looking for good software to display them on the web (and control permissions).

Since I'm a Yahoo! nut, Yahoo! Photos would have my preference. There's a Flickr export function in F-Spot, yet I don't like that name, so I'd prefer not to get associated with that ;-)

So, my first bet was to write a script that would mimic a gallery script. There's an export function for that, and maybe I could redirect the images to Yahoo! by using that? It seemed like a heck of a lot of debugging and coding.

Yahoo! Photos comes with a FireFox extension to make uploading easier. It claims to support drag&drop, but I usually doubt such claims, while I use Linux. But guess what? Dragging images out of F-Spot into Yahoo! Photos works out of the box!

Woohoo! No export function needed anymore! Thanks F-Spot! Thanks Yahoo!
