~UPDATED 15-07-2010
Added ability to create album.
Photo's will be auto-rotated if EXIF information is available.
12-JUN-2010
reworked the mechanism to work with the new FBCMD.
Does not need a manual update of albumdata file (will be handled on it's own.)
If you run this on a directory, it will upload all *.jpg files in said directory.

Fixed stupid bug where the cancelling uploaded the picture anyway.Thank you Mr. Anonymous bug reporter.
It's been a while since I've posted an update, not that I suspect that anybody missed me or anything. Nonetheless I'm throwing out an obligatory apology and the explaination for it being "been busy"
anyway this is something I whipped up today that somebody might find useful. It's a nautilus script that uploads your photos to facebook. So you can just right-click on a photo and upload it there.It's fairly basic (offers multiple uploads,album-selection, no-tagging,no caption), and once again it's not completely idiot proof so I'm not taking responsibility if you muck something up.
currently this depends on the following
- libnotify (particularly notify-send)
- zenity
- imagemagick
- fbcmd (and hence php)
The script needs to go into ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts
Next you should setup an albumid file because it's faster if you maintain a local list). Do this by running
php fbcmd.php albums | tee ~/.fbaids
if you'd rather fetch album information from facebook everytime you can replace the line "aidlist=~/.fbaids" with "aidlist=\"$(php FBCMDPATH albums)\""
that should do it.
please note that I haven't implemented a check on weather the upload was successful or not. Also there is no filetype check so be careful.
