I wish we could do at least some of the Batch Organize operations from the
Map view in Flickr's
Organizr.
For example, I've just uploaded a batch of ~200 photos from my honeymoon in Paris five years ago. Over the years, the file names got messed with, the photo sequence got a bit messed up, and I don't quite remember now what all these things were or, more importantly, where they were. So I start with the Map view, placing the places I can remember on the map and doing some digging to try to figure out where the rest might have been, and for the most part this works well.
But now I've got a big batch of photos, and I want to be able to say "all of these were of Versailles, while all of those were of the Eiffel Tower, and all of *those* were of Notre Dame. Ideally, I'd just be able to draw a square on the map (same UI as adding notes to an photo), but I could also just zoom out enough for the pins to merge, then select a pin. From there, I want to be able to add tags to the batch of all photos taken at that selected location, &/or do similar batch operations -- adjust the geoprivacy settings to all of them, batch-change the date, etc.
As it is now, I have to go in and give them all titles -- which I need to do anyway, so that itself isn't a huge problem, aside from being time consuming -- and then remember to come back and tag them all appropriately. The latter is the tricky part. If you could just tag them right from the map, then you wouldn't -- okay -- I wouldn't have to do silly things like mention in each. and. every. photo. that it's a photo at such-and-such a place.
If there's a way to approximate this now, I haven't been able to find it. Maybe some third party developer has a tool that can do it, but I haven't looked very hard elsewhere, as it seems like the sort of thing Flickr themselves ought to be able to offer as a fleshed out version of the tools they already present in the Organizr.
