This plugin has many available options divided in three main categories:

Login informations
Username: you must insert here your Flickr's username. The plugin needs to be authorized to use your account so, the first time it tries to access to Flickr, your browser will be opened and redirected to a page in which you need to confirm your authorization.

Images from users
In this section you can configure the users from whom you want to download photos.
Click the add and remove buttons to add or remove usernames from the configuration.

For each user you can specify these options:

User name: the username whose photos you want to download
Recourse user's contacts level: you can use this option to decide whether you want to download photos only from the user you specified or also from his friends.
0 means that you want photos only from the user you specified,
1 means that you want photos from your friend and also from his friends

and so on....
Show user's groups: selecting this option will allow the plugin to download images also from your friend's groups.

Images from groups

Click the add and remove buttons to add or remove groups from the configuration.

Show images from groups' users: selecting this options enables the plugin to select a photo from a group and then to select and download a photo from the first photo's owner.
