Flickrfs is a virtual filesystem for Linux that can be mounted on your computer and then be accessed using the standard commands.

When you mount the filesystem, it will create 2 directories automatically: ‘tags’ and ’sets’. ’sets’ will automatically retrieve your photos (only metadata information, hence fast) and will show you all the photos available in your sets. You can then easily copy images to your hdd. And here comes the nicer part, If you want to add some more photos to these sets, just copy them to the folder, and they will be uploaded to the respective set.

It’s tools like these that make me want to fire up my Linux box a little more than I usually do!
