At the moment I plug in my camera, iPhoto opens, I click 'Import All', go back to my browser click Browse, click Media, click iPhoto, click 'Last Import' and click the photo I'm after. Whilst you are saving a few clicks out of that routine, you're also asking me to install something that ties me to Safari so that I can save a couple of clicks and not have a local copy; so I haven't bothered trying it. I think I understand the value you're trying to offer but I'm not convinced that what you have is sufficiently better than what already exists (at least on OS X).

The experience when you're trying to upload a dozen or a hundred photos is obviously different. The current reality of multi file uploads is still pretty poor in the browser (though the new Facebook photo uploader looks pretty slick).

  The experience when you're trying to upload a dozen or a hundred photos is obviously different. How so? In my experience when I have needed to upload multiple files the website has presented a Flash based uploader that really only differs from a native HTML form in that it allows for multiple photos to be selected in the browse dialog. I've never uploaded more than perhaps half a dozen photos at a time using one of these - do they not scale to hundreds of files?

    Allowing for multiple selection in the browse dialog is a Big Fucking Deal -- would you rather click a minimum of 3n times, or a minimum of 3 times?

      I'm not clear on what the relevance of your comment is. To quickly recap — I'm contrasting what Picurio offers via a plugin for Safari against what's available in all the browsers on my machine today; which includes Flash based uploaders that allow you to select multiple files in the browse dialog. What were you trying to convey with your comment?

        I'm sorry, I misread your comment as stating that there was no real benefit to getting multiple-select, that it'd be just fine to present multiple file <input>s without the baggage that flash brings along.
