Flickr_downloader is a project mainly written in RUBY and JAVA, it's free.
Download Flickr Album based on a GuestPass or Album URL
When finished, this will hopefully be a JRuby-based GUI Application enabling my family and friends to download entire Flickr photo sets, that I have shared with them via Flickr's GuestPass feature.
In order to make it basically work you will need to download the following jars into lib/java.
Additionally you need to gem unpack the following gems in lib/ruby
This app was only tested using Mac OS X 10.6.4.
It currently works using the start.sh if using JRuby 1.5.3 and when mechanize and its dependencies are installed via rubygems.
It also works after running the rawr rake task rake rawr:bundle:app. This
will create a jar in package/jar which may be executed with
java -jar -XstartOnFirstThread package/jar/flickr.jar. This also seems to
rely on an installed mechanize gem.
The Mac OS X app bundle created by Rawr is currently not working due to the fact, that SWT expects to be loaded in the main thread (ref. SWTException: Invalid thread access). We are working on it.
