As I’ve mentioned in several blog posts, I’ve recently started a new job, working for Norwegian software developer FotoWare. Their client-side software is called FotoStation, and is a very powerful tool for processing photos.
Having been an amateur photographer for a while now, I have got a Pro account at Flickr, and upload a number of photos every year. Combining my job and my hobby is great, and I have used FotoStation for a number of tasks involving my own photos already.
The best way to do this, seems to be to create a custom Metadata editor, which shows only the fields relevant to uploading photos to Flickr.
The first part of this, was finding out which fields of the XMP metadata are utilized by Flickr. I used the Flickr Uploadr, and found that the three fields shown there, grabs data as follows:

In my last post, I mentioned that metadata-handling was my best argument for using Calibre instead of Sony eBook Reader. What I didn’t say, was why.
I read several different series of books. Among others, I am currently reading the First Law series by Joe Abercrombie. Having bought these with Adobe Digital Editions-protection, I then loaded them into Calibre, and then edited the metadata to reflect that this was a series. I then added info on which number in the series each book was.
When I uploaded this to the Reader, each series was recognized as a collection, and the books are displayed in the proper order within each collection.
