Version: svn R1079976 (using Devel) OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled sources An exporter plugin to upload images to imgur.com.
Hi guys, I have a question. Since the algorithm for generating the image hash on imgur is not public (to my knowledge) would there be a problem if we would store it inside an exif or iptc tag ? And is there already a standard tag to hold this type of URL ? If not, is it possible to create a new tag (in any of the supported formats) ?
Marius, Definitivly, use XMP with a dedicated tag to host your hash. This is not the goal of Exif (camera info) or IPTC (now replaced by XMP) to host this value. Look libkexiv2 to play with metadata. In digiKam, we create a "digiKam" namesapce to host indeep values. Look this code for ex. to host Tags Path: http://lxr.kde.org/source/extragear/graphics/digikam/libs/dmetadata/dmetadata.cpp#617 Gilles Caulier
If not already done, we should define a dedicated xmp space to store special export/import metadata. Picasaweb need such information inside xmp too, so there should be a common path for all of this information, like Xmp.<kipi-pluginname>.var or Xmp.kipi-plugins.<kipi-pluginname>.var . Gilles?
It's already done.look in ExpoBlending plugin where i store settings as text : http://lxr.kde.org/source/extragear/graphics/kipi-plugins/expoblending/manager/actionthread.cpp#410 Use "kipi" Xmp namespace. Gilles
Note : I patched Exiv2 library to recognize kipi xmp namespace : http://dev.exiv2.org/repositories/diff/exiv2/trunk/src/properties.cpp?rev=1994 If you set new tags, let's me hear to patch again Exiv2. Gilles Caulier
If I stick with the Kipi namespace will you still need to update the library (Exiv2, I mean)? As this is my first contribution to KDE and Kipi, I am making quite slow progress and there will be some time before I actually make use of the plugin. So far I just managed to have the stub plugin... without any functionality.
yes, Exiv2 need to be updated, just to give ti Exiv2 a way to show this tags as know. You can set this tag and read content without to update Exiv2, but it's better to add new tags just in time. Gilles

What's the status for this? As far as I can see there's no free service available via kipi plugins to easily submit an image to, e.g. via KSnapshot.

(In reply to comment #9) > What's the status for this? BTW, the reason this is not implemented yet is the limits imgur.com imposes I started to implement this plugin but soon realized with an authenticated account (for KIPI), we would have a maximum of 100 uploads/hour. The alternatives are paying US $24/year to double that limit (pro account = 200 uploads/hour), or asking each user to register his own account, which would be a pain. I sent an e-mail to MrGrim (imgur's owner) asking him to ease that limit for applications but he didn't even answer :-/
I have sent a message to MrGrim now, too. Apart from that it might be good enough already with the current limits: in case the limit is reached, an error would get displayed and the user would have to link an account or try it later. I would say that probably 100 uploads/h are enough most of the time anyway.
I got a reply by MrGrim: > All rate limiting is done by accounts or IPs, and not by application.

What progress is being made on this plugin? The limit isn't that bad and I'd rather have something than nothing. 50 uploads/hour anonymously, 100 uploads/hour with a free account & 200 uploads/hour with a paid annual account. Those conditions are reasonable.
I'm sorry, there's no progress on my end. The existing code (https://gitorious.org/kipi-imgur-export/kipi-imgur-export) is so old I doubt would be usable with the current Kipi version, and even if it would be, the progress I registered is almost non existent.
Thanks for the timely reply, I was looking forward to this feature being implemented but such is life.
Maruis, Some new about you implementation ? https://gitorious.org/kipi-imgur-export/kipi-imgur-export Gilles Caulier

I just dug up the code and I will try to make it compile with the latest version of kipi-plugins. I will come back with an update.
I'd like imgur exporting too, and 50 per hour is more than I'll ever need for this kind of use. Other solutions would make more sense for users who need to upload whole albums (ie. more images per hour).
imgur kipiplugin tool is not implemented and available for testing since 2.6.0 RC release. Few fixes have been published in source code by Marius for final release. I will create a section to KDE bugzilla about his tool. Please report feedback at this place in the future I close this file now... Gilles Caulier
