image upload from OS

Hi,

I am looking for some sort of right click, upload image to site solution.

I’ve found this

http://forum.textpattern.com/viewtopic.php?id=9749

and it reportedly still works on XP. I actually use XP so that would do fine for me. Many of my potential clients will be on win7,8 and beyond.

Is there a simple solution for current windows to send images up into a txp database?

I’ve also thought of using Windows Live Writer. That can post articles and images into a TXP site using XML-RPC I think. There is a version of WLM that works on Win7+.

Perhaps that is the answer.

Any thoughts appreciated.

Mike

Re: image upload from OS

You might have a look at

https://github.com/torsk/txp_plugins/blob/master/tok_image_upload_bot.py

It’s a very recent python3 rewrite of a long-term used script. Not well tested yet; so far unter linux only — so some teaks might be necessary (I don’t have any experience in Windows).

But it provides some nice features as setting image caption from Exif or Xmp metadata and taking the categorie from the name of the directory the file is saved in.

It’s not ready for release right now, as documentation is still missing (I’ll provide it in a couple of weeks (I promise)) but maybe it’s some help for you.
