Rodeo is a command-line utility for uploading images to Flickr. It can apply keyword-based rules during an upload, automatically adding photographs to albums, setting their privacy permissions, and removing keywords that should not be published.
The utility can also resize images for social media or messaging and display image metadata. Rodeo records previously uploaded files to help prevent accidental duplicate uploads.
This is free and open source software.
