I've installed & configured Flickr API and Flickr Sync, but it doesn't seem to be syncing anything from Flickr.

Here's what I've done so far:

1 - Installed both modules.
2 - Added API key and Shared Secret to the Flickr API config. (These are known to work. I have Flickr installed and am using it to display thumbnails via Flickr Field.)
3 - Created a content type with an image field and a free-tagged vocabulary to receive the sync'd images.
4 - Configured Flickr Sync to use the new content type. (No errors reported.)
5 - Run Cron.

No sync happens. I looked at the logs and don't see any errors being reported.

What am I missing?

ANSWER: There's a link that gets added to the Navigation, above the Administer link. I missed it because a) rootcandy pushes Navigation far down on the left, and b) wasn't looking for it, because the documentation talked exclusively about cron.

Now that I can see it running, I can see that what the module does is import each size as a distinct node. More useful would have been to import all 5 standard sizes to a single node.

I'm not really sure it's more useful to have all 5 sizes imported into one node. Once you have the large size, you can use imagecache to generate whatever sizes you need.
