Having lost my local data, I managed to recover all the pictures previously posted with their original Exif data on Flickr thanks to a nifty little application compiled for MS Windows called FlickrDown and developed by Greggman.
Greggman deserves a two thumbs up for the clever idea. The application allows to search Flickr image database based on some filters, like tags or user account name. Once identified, the full-size images can be batch downloaded. This can save one a lot of clicks and wait.
I speculate that Flickr is still leaving the “batch download” function out of the features because they probably prefer users not using the servers as temporary storage media. Which is sensible.
I give Greggman a five stars.
