Author Topic:   Flickr & Picasa hooks snogards Junior Member Posts: 5 Registered: Dec 2008 posted 12-07-2008 04:32 PM             Suggestion to add Flickr & Picasa hooks (or any RSS photo feed for that matter). Optionally, the creator should be able to pre-populate an RSS address for the end-user, then fix or allow the user to change the address. Thanks and great work!

This would be a really good feature....

Would a generic RSS importer be enough for you? (Assuming that a generic RSS import feature would be lowest-common-denominator, and would probably not be able to grab specific features from a given service...?) IP: Logged snogards Junior Member Posts: 5 Registered: Dec 2008 posted 12-09-2008 11:29 AM             Yes, RSS2.0 standard would be great. In a perfect world, it would parse-out the XML, grabbing the photos from the text. That way, you could: a) have a text-only RSS reader with unrelated screensaver images behind this b) have a photo-only reader with screensaver transitions applied c) or have a combo, with the images from the posting and, say, the description/article on the photo in front of it, in synch Thanks for responding...
