I would be totally happy, and would leave this horse to die peacefully, if I could *just* not be constrained like that. It's just slightly better than using postcards in the client and getting shrunk to 640x480. Please?

When I have a chance I will put that up. I think, though, that to set the picture title to the filename, one merely needs to change the line set msgSubject to "Direct from the Grid" to set msgSubject to "" as I believe then Flickr will set the name of the picture to the name of the picture file. It is worth a try, anyway. Perhaps 'set msgSubject to new_name' would work if that doesn't.

set msgSubject to “Direct from the Grid”

to

set msgSubject to “”

The only part of the script that's a bit frustrating is the subtitle part. Would it be possible to have the script use the filename (perhaps up to the .jpg file ending) as the subtitle instead? If I weren't such a script noob there'd probably be a variable I could use... Thanks Ordinal, I just managed to set this up on my iMac.

I did, though, give it up as being both silly and insanitary.

And, if those higher in the ministry approve, I'll be hosting a reception soon and will be all a twitter myself about such arrangement!
