25 Useful scripts for Flickr users

13 May 2007 2 Comments

Flickr is a nice, popular online photo sharing tool. Here is a collection of tools and scripts that will enhance your flickr experience.

Enjoy these collection and feel free to suggest any useful script or additional tool that I might have missed.

Scripts to enhance Flickr browsing experience:

Tip: To install these scripts, you must get Firefox browser and Greasemonkey extension [Read a 30 sec description on GM]. Once you install the Greasemonkey, you will see a smiling monkey icon on the right-bottom corner of your browser. These scripts need to be automatically installed when you select install option.

when not needed, you can click on the monkey icon to disable all GM scripts. If you need to choose to disable only few of the GM scripts, then go to Tools —> Greasemonkey —> Manage User Scripts
