Support for Flickr Public User Albums #233

Version 0.7.0 Hi All, Currently we have a flick option of wall paper rotation for the public photos of a specific user We just give the url like https://www.flickr.com/photos/lopamudrabarman/

This lets us go through all the photos. But in most scenarios the flickr user would have organized his photos into specific themes as albums. Most users will be hoping for a specific theme by a user who photographs on that theme.

Hence the need for Flickr Albums would be a great add-on to Variety.

Solution: Let Variety Users simly give the Flickr Albums Url eg: https://www.flickr.com/photos/lopamudrabarman/albums/72157681117149752 or if the album id is whats readily available in apps give : 72157681117149752

Let me know what you think Cheers!

I'm very interested in this, it would be a very good way of having a curated set of images you want to show on your desktop from your Flickr account. eg, an album that contains only wallpaper resolution photos and doesn't have portrait orientation, squares, etc.
