I think the preview functionality would help but not eliminate the problem. The thing is it is a common behavior for one to be in a dialog, have to open a different dialog to select whatever elements, then see them back in the first dialog, choose some other options and then confirm whatever the first dialog was supposed to do with those elements. That happens in a lot of applications, in many different situations. See the Email Images plugin for example.

If you leave aside the "common behavior" perspective, in this particular case of Flickr Export the problem is that the linearity of its behavior is not reflected by the interface. The plugin clearly requires you to do one thing (set options, tags, etc.) and *then* the other (select and upload photos).

You can change its behavior (perhaps to the "common"/non-linear behavior mentioned above), *or* you can change the interface to reflect the behavior it already has, perhaps by having a wizard-like scheme where one would only set tags, privacy and resize options, then click *NEXT* and then be presented with the select window (which wouldn't be a popup, since its "Ok" button would, in this case, be a "Finish" button).

I hope I have managed to explain myself. Thanks for your attention.

P.S.: What's this "Add CC" thing in Bugzilla?
