ecto Flickr Search
This section is provided to explain the feature of the Flickr Search window.
The Flickr Search
The Flickr Search window can be accessed from the menu bar option Insert->Photo from Flickr.
Search for photos
First enter the search keyword and then select the type of searching (Full text, or Tags Only) and the source (Everyone's Photos, Your Photos, or Choose from your contacts). If you choose to search only your photos or your contact's photos, you will be asked to authenticate and authorize ecto with Flickr first.
Click on the Search button will initiate the search on Flickr.
If there are more 20 photos in the search result, you can see the rest of the search results by clicking on the right arrow button on the left bottom side of the window.
Photo details
Extra details about a particular photo is displayed as tooltip when the mouse pointer hoovers over a photo.
View a photo in full
Double click on a photo will display it as full size in the Flickr View window.
Insert photo into post
To insert a specific photo from the search result, select the item and click on 'Insert Photo as...' button on the bottom right of the window. Two options are available to allow you to either insert the photo into your post as actual image or as a hyperlink back to the Flickr image. If you choose to insert the photo as an image, there are three different sizes you can choose from: Small, Medium, and Large. After you have picked the size, the Image Upload window will open to let you define how the image will be displayed in the post.
Logout of Flickr
If you no longer wish to have the ability to search your Flickr photos or your contact's photos, you can log out of Flickr by going to the 'Login' tab and click on the Logout button. Once that is done, you will need to authenticate and authorize ecto with Flickr again the next time you wish to search your or your contacts' photos.
