FlickrFS Next Generation

===========

Why Flickr?

------

Nowadays it provides 1TB storage for free. Perfect cloud backup solution to my

millions of photos.

Why a FS?

------

I like the idea of mounting flickr photos to a file system. Dictionary is the

most intuitive way to organize photos. Plus, mounting a file system provide

easy integration with the rest of the system to upload/download photos from

Flickr.

Previous flickfs is a very good implementation demostrating this concept.

Unfortuntely it is dead. So I decided to rewrite a new file system to replace

and call it flickrfs-ng.

What's new?

------

FUSE has been improved a lot since its first 1.X branch. However the python-fuse

module is still quite out-of-date. flickrfs-ng will use fusepy instead to provide

python binding.

The original flickrapi is also out-of-maintain, and will be replaced with

python-flickr-api which is in actively development and support OAuth.

New features

------

- Indexing by date

  An auto directionary structure will be provided to list photos by date. e.g.

  /mnt/flickr/date/2013-01 refers to the photos taken in Jan 2013, while

  /mnt/flickr/date/2013 refers to all photos taken in year 2013.

- Indexing by tags

  Easily filter photos with given tags.

  /mnt/flickr/tags/newzealand/ will get all photos with tag newzealand

- EXIF integration

  exif info will be used, i.e. the date. The data could be viewed as

  /mnt/flickr/stream/.P23012345.JPG.exif

- Metadata

  Could be found and updated in /mnt/flickr/stream/.P23012345.JPG.meta

- Transparent resizing

  To get a smaller size of photo, just get

  /mnt/flickr/stream/P23012345.1024.JPG

- OAuth

  Use OAuth which is now the prefer way
