I have posted this request also in the Flickr API queue. I guess this one depends on support for this in the API module first.

Ref. #994568: Retrieve images from a users Flickr favorites

See also an similar feature request for this in the http://drupal.org/project/flickr module:
"Retrieving favorites would be equally useful as just getting ones own photos, and could trigger even more traffic, benefiting both the local site and Flickr, I would think."

Sounds like a handy feature. I'll save for my next hackfest on this module.

the D7 version of this module is still a bit buggy - mostly because D7 core isn't ready for postgresql and that's what is use. Are you sure you meant to request this feature on D7?

D7, although for some time yet this functionality would be nice to have in D6 too. I just reckoned that the development would be done for D7, and then a potential backport to D6.

Ref. my comment in the Flickr module queue too:
#861188: Retrieve images from gallery

"Retrieving and "promoting" ones favorite photos from other people's photo streams seems like a very nice and powerful way of trigging even more interest.

I am frankly quite puzzled about the lack of interest for this particular feature (not just in this issue, but for several years in several issue queues: close to zero interest and certainly no progress anywhere as far as I can tell), which to me seems like an obviously useful feature, bordering on "important". Great for increasing traffic to own web sites by promoting other/best photos, etc., not just "own photos".
"

Maybe this module should be merged with the Flickr module to speed up developments?
