Uploading images to the internet is common nowadays, and yet it still takes effort to save the image to one's hard-disk, go to a photo hosting service, find the image in your badly organised file-system and copy the link. This plugin allows you to just flatten the image, select Effects -> Tools -> Upload to... and follow the on-screen instructions.

Download PhotobucketNet, rename it to PhotobucketNet.dll and place it in the same folder (Paint.NETEffects) as UploadTo.

YES! This is like a built in QuickShot. Very awesome Simon, thank you.

EDIT: Got an "upload failed" message. I think it's because the image size was larger than 1.5mb. Would there be a way of implementing an image compressor type thing? Not necessarily a resizer... but as in Quick Shot, where it somehow magically gets the image onto the web without resizing or too much quality loss.

[Simon Brown]

I guess I could do that automatically if I knew ImageShack's maximum size. I guess I could have it use JPEG automatically, but that wouldn't support transparency. Allowing the user to configure the upload would, of course, mean another click (at the least) for the user.

[007 Nab]

Still better than necessarily opening up a whole new web window. I wouldn't mind having to go through a couple of buttons.

Do you know what Quick Shot uses to compress the PNGs? Maybe that could be implemented.

[Simon Brown]

I have no idea. What would you say to it just automatically resizing to the highest size availible in QuickShot?

[007 Nab]

Ugh... I dunno about straight resizing. Could there be a combination of quality-loss and resizing? So there is less resizing involved?

I'll check out the update when I can.

Great, definitely going to use...

would it be possible to do the same things for other sites like photobucket or deviantart? this plugin looks awesome! nice job.

[Simon Brown]

I may do it with Photobucket, but I havn't heared of a dA API. If you can find an API for a popular photo upload service I will consider adding support.

[Gamer_World14]

I am not really sure what the API is so I just searched google and this is what i got to... i was wondering if you could help a little bit? Photobucket Developer Documentation

[Simon Brown]

I have heared of the Photobucket API, which is why I only said I couldn't find one for dA. :wink:

Just one PhotoBucket - not the entire plugin.

[Blooper]

It's good as it is if you ask me. It makes making forum markers MUCH faster.

Just one PhotoBucket - not the entire plugin.

yes of course , i think photobucket is really famouse and has so many people even in his forum, i noticed many useing it, imageshake is still good but i started my pictures in photobucket because of the storage and bandwidth.

so still hope photobucket appear, and

HOPE 2 SEE OTHER IDEAS LIKE THIS APPEAR :twisted:
those are other things that for sure will make Paint.NET really stand out

[Simon Brown]

Is anyone interested in me posting imageshack.cs and details of the methods provided to easily perform a POST to allow people to add new sites to be included in future versions?
