Userscript: Flickr Thumbnails Enhancer

Posted on July 9th, 2005

screenshotNew Greasemonkey script: Flickr: Thumbnails Enhancer. It adds the number of comments and notes to each photo listed in the Photos from your Contacts page any list of thumbnails on Flickr. I know this is much less detail than is provided by the php version, but I find that the number of comments & notes is really the most useful information. Plus, I gave up trying to cram the description and all the tags into the design of the page. Suggestions welcome.

  • Update 10:58am EDT: I can’t think of any reason this shouldn’t work on any page where you’re presented a list of thumbnails, including tag pages, photo pools, sets, favorites and archives by date (any others?). I’ve changed the name of the script to reflect this. Uninstall and then install it again, if you already have.
  • Update 2:14 pm EDT: Now works in sets and favorites, as well. I think it now works anywhere in flickr where there are thumbnails. As an aside, I’m really glad that flickr uses semantic, standardized markup — it made this so easy to write! And yes, that is sarcasm! It was like chewing glass!

    hey, thats awesome. great work. I’ll let you know if I can think of how to improve it.
    The attention to detail on how well it looks on the page is appreciated.
    Also, are you gonna put it in flickr hacks? You should.

    Thanks. Nice to know somone appreciates it, seeing how the “attention to detail” almost drove me insane. I did post it to Flickr Hacks, once I was comfortable enough with the way it worked.
