    It's great with Flickr support - but I don't want to use my own images. I want to be able to search flickr for creative common photos (like one can do on Flickr.com, advanced search) that I can use - automatically download them, resize and crop them and upload them to my own http://FTP. Heck, maybe even automatic attribution inserting into my blog text. Now, that would be nice :-)

    I agree.

    I actually recently wrote about this issue in another posting on this forum:

    I also have a small problem with the Flickr function. Browsing though the two horisontal arrows is painfully slow. It seems that BlogJet doesn't cache photos from Flickr and with 700+ photos there it really is a pain. I think a better solution would be - especially since you already are using a plug-in in FireFox - to allow one to insert a photo from Flickr in a maner similar to the Blog This function from Flickr but to BlogJet instead. This would also make it possible for one, to blog other peoples photos like the Blog This function on Flickr.

    In reality it shouldn't have been there, but it was a copy-edit from a mail i sent to the support-mail, and this didn't go though the filters :(

    I'm aware though that we aren't taking an entire equal approach to this. You would download, resize and upload, whereas i would just deeplink to the photos on Flickr (which Flickr by the way allows) as well as link to original photo-page.

    From what Kim tells in the former issue-thread, i think it actually should be possible to do a simple rewrite of the GreaseMonkey script AllSizes+, to perform this operation. My knowledge of GM-scripting is almost zero though :(

    Kind regards Henrik

    Second the comment: "Browsing though the two horisontal arrows is painfully slow"

    Be good to search for tags, names or just input photo page and have the image added.
