Flkuploader Help File

This application is designed to simplify the uploading and geo-encoding of image files to FLICKR.

The process is fairly straight forward:

1. Create an XML or CSV file containing the details to be processed.
2. Select the created file in this application.
3. When transfered to FLICKR for authorization, agree to it.
4. Select the 'authorised' button in the application.
5. Files are sent.
