Multiple Photo Upload
The big feature in this update is support for Facebook photo uploading, and it couldn’t be simpler to use: just drag and drop your selection of photos on to the Faccialibro Launcher icon and the photos will automatically be uploaded. If you want them to appear in a specific folder, select a folder using the ‘Photo Album’ quicklist entry prior to uploading.
