Flickr Multi Group Sender

This Greasemonkey script lets you send your Flickr photos to multiple groups simultaneously, and lets you save your group selection, so you can easily reselect them for future group submissions.

Screenshot

• Now works on the new Flickr photo page! The script adds a new button labelled "MGS" below the photo
• Overrides site's send to group function (on the old version of the page only)
• Allows sending your photo to multiple groups simultaneously
• Lets you save group selections, so you can easily reselect the same groups in the future
• Search function lets you easily search for the name of the group you want to submit to
• Group counter which displays how many groups you have selected
• Groups that the photo are already belong to appear faded out in the select box, and you cannot select them
• Box is bigger than the Flickr one, which means you can see more of the group names and also see more groups at once in the list too
• Group Error messages do not disrupt the process of sending to groups
• The full list of groups you have currently selected will be displayed if you hover over the select box, or the number of groups selected below the group select box

Installation Instructions

Firefox : First you need to install the Greasemonkey addon, then once thats installed, click the install link, and then you are good to go.

Google Chrome : Right click on the Install link, then select the "Save Link as" option to save the GM script to your computer. Now open your browsers extensions management page via the Tools / Extensions menu. Then open the folder on your computer that you saved the script to and drag the GM script from that folder onto the browser's extensions management page.

Safari : Safari doesnt have native Greasemonkey support built in, so you first need to install a GM addon, Greasekit or NinjaKit for example, then once you have that installed, simply click the install link.

Opera : Opera has built in greasemonkey support, you just need to setup your scripts directory in the Settings/Preferences/Advanced/Content/Javascript Options menu, by selecting the User "Javascript directory" you want to store your greasemonkey scripts in, then save the script to the directory you have chosen, et voila!

Multi Group Sender FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q) Does the script work on the new photo page?
A) Yes, the latest version has been updated to work on the new photo page (Latest update 22nd May 2013!)

Q) How can i quickly filter the list as I type without having to click the search button?
A) If you click the group list select box once with the mouse, then start typing the first few letters of the name of the group, the select box will jump to the group you are searching for. You can also use this function to quickly scroll through all groups beginning with a certain letter, for instance, say you know the groups name begins with 'J' but you cant remember the rest of it, just click inside the select box and hold the J key down and it will scroll through all the groups beginning with the letter "J".

Q) Why does the normal flickr "send to group" box sometimes show up? (N.B - this relates to the old photo page only)
A) You need to wait till the page has fully loaded before clicking the send to group button, because greasemonkey scripts are only run after the page has finished loading.

Q) How can i select multiple groups at the same time?
A) If you hold down the control (CTRL) key (or Apple key if you are on a Mac) each time you click a group with the mouse, you will be able to select multiple groups individually.

Q) How can i edit a saved selection?
A) First select the saved selection you wish to edit, then in the drop down box containing the group names, select the groups you wish to add to the selection or deselect groups you want removed from the selection, then tick the save selection box and click add to group, you will now have a new selection with your desired groups, if you no longer want the old selection, simply delete it.

Q) How do i delete a saved group selection?
A) First select the selection you wish to delete in the secondary drop down box, then click the grey [x] next to it and the saved selection will be deleted.

Q) How can i quickly remove an image from multiple groups?
A) Click Flickr's "3 dots" menu aka "..." then select "Add to / Remove From Group", you can then click the Xs next to the groups the image is in to remove it from those groups.
