Cool Dashboard Widget - Flidget

I came across a cool Dashboard widget today, called Flidget, which allows you to easily upload images to your Flickr account! Nifty.

Firstly, to have to setup your account details (accessible by clicking on the "i" in the lower-left of the widget). To use it, all you do is take your screenshot, hit F12 and drag the image into the frame of the widget (where a "+" sign will appear. Type in a tag or two, and hit "Upload"! Easy…

Flidget

It seems to have a problem with recognising when the upload has finished (the widget still says "Uploading…", a long time after the photo appeared on Flickr), but hopefully that'll be fixed soon.

    Jeremy, you seem to be the only one with this problem (the slow refresh of the uploaded picture)… On my Mac it all happens at the same time. I’m sure that it has nothing to do with Flidget itself, it could’ve been some slowdown on Flickr side so that the XML file was returned with delay or something similar… god knows… :-/

    Anyway, does it seem to happen all the time, or did it just happen once?
