WRote an application to upload images to imgur.com

[cute.bandar]

HI
I wrote a small tiny application to upload images to the internet (imgur.com)

Download from here: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Interne...ctUpload.shtml 64kb
xp users, you will need .net framework 2.0 for this to work

To Use:
take a screen shot
OR
copy a image to the clipboard
OR
copy the path to an image file .
OR
copy a image file.

Then double click the PerfectUpload.exe . Your image will be uploaded to the internet (imgur.com) and the URL copied to your clipboard . The good thing about my app is that unlike other image upload apps , it doesn't stay in memory. it just opens , uploads, and then closes.

Would appreciate if someone downloads my app and says nice things about it .
Lastly i assure you i a noob who couldn't put a keylogger in even if he wanted to.

no love

i tried copying images of .jpeg and .gif format. but it displayed messageBox "copy image OR ......."

the print-screen works fine ..Cheers

but after the print screen. a temp img was created on desktop but img url was not copied. tried 3 times.(dont know where images went)

personally. i think the prog has VERY minimalastic aproach.

u should give specific error, like
>what did the program not find
>internet connectivity status
>better if u created a txt file of filename as that of image and wrote the img url in there.

work around another version. good efforts.

BTW the disclaimer is really nice.

Happy Programming...

Nice handy app

But should be more explanatory rather than some specific pop-ups!

Good work bro!

PS: I can't find the disclaimer anywhere. Where is it??

i tried copying images of .jpeg and .gif format. but it displayed messageBox "copy image OR ......."

one has to copy an image or 'path to image'(c:\image.jpg) for this to work. copying an image file doesn't work. I guess I should add this feature

a temp img was created on desktop

yeah , it is created and deleted

img url was not copied. tried 3 times.

hmm can't say why it didn't work.

thanks for replies guys

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!

great work!!!

still something(s) to point out::
1> works great for imgs with size <= 200 kb
2> timeout WebException for upload > 1 min with filesize > 3 mb e.g. my 12MP 3.2 mb imgs were not uploaded.

increase timeout for large images. this might be issue for users with low bandwidth
3> generate a XML or INF file for multiple img hosting sites like imageshack, piccrazy etc.
4> support for bulk file upload from text file or clipboard
5> support for generic files on megaupload, rapidshare etc

----------------------------------
on your backup utility....
great idea.

please give option for skydrive in conjunction to gmail.
----------------------------------
lastly did u reflect upon my post :
Give me some ideas for a new program please

[cute.bandar]

hmm I hadn't tried uploading large images with it. will do it now. thanks for pointing it out.

4> support for bulk file upload from text file or clipboard

For uploading multiple images there are already a couple of great apps. I wanted something minimalistic for uploading just a single image.

5> support for generic files on megaupload, rapidshare etc

not a bad suggestion. I'll think about this.

lastly did u reflect upon my post :

nah sorry, I have been busy with something else (a webbot). I didn't understand your post anyway

About the backup utility: its giving me problems: there seems to be a couple of bugs in dotnetzip(a library I am using) and in gmail itself. that is giving me some pains. Earlier my plan was create a and upload multiple 25mb archives to gmail, but it doesn't seem it will work. skydrive sounds great, but it doesn't have an api (there is an alternative, but its kind of breaky). But your skydrive suggestion has given me an idea to consider other optinos like box.net) as well. Thanks again

my idea was to create a simple code repository

much like :: CodeBank - A small centralized code repository built using the .NET framework. - CodeProject

only on window forms application and with some features

dotnetzip does not perform well and becomes unresponsive.

i switched to RAR command line invoked from System.Diagnostics.Process class

SkyDrive .Net API Client
Will this help?

[cute.bandar]

^ I came across this. But...

SkyDrive WebClient heavily depends on the design of SkyDrive's HTML pages, even small design or structural changes could easily break partially or completely this library -

my application isn't critical, so I could go along with it . Should I ?
Edit: skydrive has a limit of 50mb per file ? should I go along with split archives ?
