What is the import item in the sidebar for?
This allows you to add pictures to your library if you already have the flickr url (web address) of an image. To get that url you can copy it from the location blank when you are looking at a flickr photo page. You can also right-click on an image on a flickr page and choose “Copy Image Location” (Copy Link Location also works but is less efficient). You can also copy large chunks of html that contains links and references to flickr photos and paste it into the import field. You have to click the “import” button to start things off and it takes a few seconds to process the information but the images it has imported will then be shown in the gallery.
