Ever wondered why there is no easy way to upload to PBase from your machine, backup images etc.? Blame it on the lack of clean documented APIs to do so! I have no love lost for flickr but you got to give points where they are due.

Another saying is "if it isn't broken, don't fix it." I can zip images on a mouse click. I can select the zip file at Pbase for an efficient batch operation. I need nothing more for upload itself. As always, your mileage may vary, and as it seems you perceive a sort of lack of upload function at Pbase.
I would wish from Pbase rather for little simple things, asked here before many times, like avoiding that ".type" will become a part of image name. The infamous "thousand time del, del, del, del" on every each image... If I only could get that time of my life spend on "del del del del" given back to me, I would have bought a toy for my granddaughter and played with her.
Backup, yes, I see a deficit. I would like to be able to store my caption, for example.
More little things instead of some heavy development "plugins" would be rather a better EXIF support, user control of compression in auto-sized images at pBase, but we spoke about that so many times here...
Some of these products attempt also to be "swiss army knife," lets stay with Lightroom, which installs a nasty program apdproxy.exe and runs it in background without user's permission. The function of this service is to upload images as soon you plug in a CF or SD card into your computer. But you might have a different function for your CF card, not related to photography at all. For me such solution is an abomination, the program is bigger, more difficult to maintain, and it merely dups a functionality available anyway.
Maybe I am getting too old for the rapid change?
