Hi all.
I wanted an auto add your image to Flickr plugin, or other image website.Something right in Gimps menus. So you could create your image and upload it for view immediately.All right from Gimps interface. That would be sweet.
I have a menu (added with a script), that has links to my favorite sites. I was thinking maybe that could be edited to contain the upload link for Flickr or Imageshack. But it would be nice to have a plugin something like the Flickr uploader ui.



I figured a python module could be written to open the Flickr uploader program via Gimp like the font and color chooser.

So i decided to re edit one based on Rob A's Shellout and MareroQ'Font Switcher
Zip is attached.
You will find it under Tools>Image Uploaders>Flickr
INSTALLATION-
Download the Flickr Image Uploader if you don't already have it installed from here.
http://www.flickr.com/tools/

USE-
Download the attached zip file. Open it to your desktop or another folder.
You need to place the python module in the UserFolder\.gimp-2.8\plugins folder.
In case of Parthas/Sams Portable installs - place in the pref_1\plug-ins folder.
Edit line #13 to your install directory.
Open Gimp and create an image - save the image - select the Tools>Image Uploader>Flickr from the menu and upload your image to your Flickr account.

IMAGE EXAMPLES -




TESTS-
Tested only with Parthas/Sams Gimp-2.8 Portable with Windows XP 32 bit.
I see no reason however why this could not be adapted to Mac, and Linux installs.

DOWNLOADS-


Updated to 1.6 see posts below.
You will also find an attachment for a link script for Deviant Art Sta.sh uploads. Plus it contains various other useful links. viewtopic.php?f=9&t=4651&start=10#p58138

Enjoy!

Updated to 1.5
I added Image Shack uploader ui and a menu name change.
The filter can now be found under
Tools>Image Uploaders






Edit line #14 as usual for your Image Shack Uploader program install directory before use.

Please test in various installs and give feedback.
Thanks.

Updated to 1.6 to correct a spelling issue in the dialog... sorry about that.
zip attached.

Thanks Rod. I might start an account there one day, you never know.

The python module can be edited to contain any uploader you use.
Just edit the line to your installation directory and the exe file and you should be all set.
As far as i know only Imageshack and Flickr provide installers.Perhaps if someone needs a different one i haven't heard of yet listed in the dialog let me know?

Thanks Erisian.

A lot of people here have DA accounts. It's a pity there doesn't seem to be a DA uploader.

Or a photobucket one either...

Nice one Rod!
I had a look at your code to see if it's possible to add Picasa without Picasa installed locally. I found it would require more code than I wanted to take on.

I use Picasa web but I don't use Picasa locally. I prefer Zoner Photo Studio and normally use it to upload to Picasa.

The best solution I could find without Picasa installed locally was another Gimp plugin similar to yours called, GimpPublishr.

Hey Rod why don't you sign up for an API key so that you can make this available to people who may not want to install the necessarily program for Flickr or are unable to install it?
http://www.flickr.com/services/apps/create/
or for image shack?
http://code.google.com/p/imageshackapi/
or Photobucket?
http://photobucket.com/developer

I would be willing to help out?

With this Python module installation of ImageShack, and/or Flickr uploader programs are required for them to work.



You would have to talk to Rob A or MareroQ as the code belongs to them.

Now Deviantart has a excellent alternative to classic upload (a alternative no much know but much better ) called sta.sh

A uploader for DA gallery seems complex if not impossible but a uploader for sta.sh (that basically is a free 10gb storage place for DA users , yes each has 10GB and no form to fill to store there , and everything dropped there may be quickly posted in the gallery ) should be possible

would be really cool
here some info on DA sta.sh http://help.deviantart.com/441/

Looks like someone will develope one soon.Then it's a matter of just adjusting the line to the install path for the app.

From the website-
Via Applications:

In the future you will be able to upload via your favorite application! We currently have an API that allows developers to create mobile and desktop applications that link to your Sta.sh account. These applications will be available through what ever means the developer chooses to distribute them, and any issues regarding these 3rd party applications will need to be discussed with the developers of these apps. deviantART help staff will not be able to assist you with any unofficial applications.

Correct log in address (the one on the site is incorrect) -
https://sta.sh/login/?referrer=http%3A%2F%2Fsta.sh%2F#

I attached the links-script.scm with the url added. You can launch the website with this script.
Place the script in your scripts folder and go to Filters>Script-Fu>Refresh Scripts or restart Gimp.
You will find the link under Help>Links>Sta.sh along with various other helpful links.







This is an alternative until an upload DA app is developed.

wow so fast !
Do you have account on DA ? many folk there would be happy (there are several gimp related groups there )

well i suppose will be happy on flick too

I am going to get my bike back (yesterday was too hot to bike back ) is a 4 km walk, at soon back i will try the script i have 2 dozens of image to upload

It calls the Sta.sh website pretty good. It does ask for a log in though.You should be able to just use your Deviant login (which is what i did), or create a new one.
Also the allowable space is only 2 gigs for free users. So use it sparingly.

Damn my bike was stolen !

Anyway i am going to try now...no problem for the login

Now maybe i will found a way to keep both Flickr /DA galleries updated

Thank you, Rod.
I think that you forgive ?
Added the "links-script.scm" to "Web-browser-help.scm" (http://www.gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=395&p=19368%20#%20p19368) and by the way I added a couple of my favorites ...

Looks good MareroQ.

I can not seem to get this to work. It crashes with this:

Any help?

... is there any current working version of this uploader?

Would be interesting to find out
