Description Me 2011-02-23 01:31:20 UTC
Version:           1.7.0 (using KDE 4.6.0) 
OS:                Linux

Digikam rocks.   Its changed the way I manage and use my images.
        
Now that my images are organized, people want more prints.   I use my local
Costco.ca store for my printing needs.   For those that haven't tried
them, I suggest you do as the quality and price are both good.
        
Its painful to get prints done at Costco.ca.  

Uploading the images at the store is painful because the software they run on their photo computers is pretty slow and very primitive.
        
And their online uploading tools either don't work or are very slow to use with anything more than a few images.
        
How hard would it be to write an uploader for Costco ?  How does all the security stuff work and what is the protocol behind doing it ?
        
I use the Picassa uploader all the time and a) it works great and b) it
saves me a lot of time.  It would be great if we could have the same capability for Costco.

Thanks

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Create an account at Costco.ca
Try loading images to the account.

Actual Results:  
Selecting images is a slow process on the Costco.ca site.   No way to filter files.  Paths get lost and have to be browsed in time after time.  Preview images are not show for jpegs. 

Expected Results:  
Uploads work, but they are a pain.

Note:  I am not sure that Costco USA uses the same interface as Costco.ca (Canada).  I am requesting an uploader for Costco.ca

The web service Costco.ca no longer exists. I close this bug.
