Best way to upload to Flickr??

I want to upload photos to Flickr, but the directory of photos is like some unknown maze of data files, thumbnails, folders, etc. About the only thing I dont see are the titles of my photos and the photos themselves!!!

So first of all, what's the best way to get my photos into Flickr and second, why don't the photo filenames change when I change the title?? I know that I'll get some flack for this, but my Windows desktop actually makes better sense of organizing the files than iphoto 4. Anyway, thanks for any suggestions!

Dan,

Everything that needs to be done with photos from your iPhoto library is done from the iPhoto application -- there is no maze of data files to contend with. Launch iPhoto, select the photos you want, and export them to a folder on the desktop. Those copies will then be ready to send to Flickr.

Thanks John, I'll give that a try. I also saw there were some plug ins for iphoto. Any of these good?

By far the best way to share iPhoto with Flickr is flickerexport negating the need to mess about duplicating pics onto your desktop.

Download, install and then flickr export is available through the share/export menu in iPhoto. Also provides the ability to assign tags/description/create a set etc.
