Hi Hanan, The facebook application has to request the publish_stream permission (and be granted that permission, of course) in order to skip the "pending" status according to:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/rest/photos.upload/ I looked around for an elegant solution and came across Facebook Command Line (fbcmd). http://fbcmd.dtompkins.com/introduction They claim to be able to bypass the pending stage. See the Notes section of this document, http://fbcmd.dtompkins.com/commands/addpicd PHP has to be installed on the computer, but no web server. If fbcmd does what it claims to do, you should be able to determine the syntax needed and build it into a batch file or other script scheduled to run regularly using your OS's task scheduler. I have not tested that application, nor am I vouching for the software or its developers in any way. I just happened to find it; and it looked like it could be useful. All of my best wishes, Will ?

I don't know of a package that does this but I think it would be fairly straightforward for someone experienced in Applescript to write a script to use FacebookExporter every X minutes and put photos on FB. Similar languages should exist for Windows and Linux boxes.
