Yes hello,

Download the script and save it to ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/
Make sure the file is chmod u+x
To use:
Select files/folders, right click, scripts->tinypic
If You are open for some request and suggestions, I've two for You:
1)Add possibility to send images as TinyPic logged user, into user account.
2) TinyPic actually don't convert images format, only changes file extension. So if You upload a PNG file to TinyPic, it will generate link to JPG, but if You check file format (not only extension), You will notice it is the same as original image. Could your script replace jpg extension generated in TinPic URL to original extension?
the login feature is a good idea that might warrant a fork.
it will do something like pop up and ask you for username/password before proceeding with the upload and storing the session cookie locally in the scripts directory as a hidden file, only bugging you for user/pass once the cookie expires.
thanks for the input!
You're absolutely right about security if password and login would be stored in scripts, it matters especially if You don't crypt home partition or folder with scripts.
But it might be easier to implement (to be honest I don't know), this way or other it will be great thing to be able to send images to TinyPic account.
TinyPic doesn't convert images to jpg, it only changes extension. You can check it after open image in web browser (see properties of displayed image, it will always be jpg extension, but an original format like png or other).
Hey sorry for the comment ..previously I didn't installed the CURL package so I got a error ..
But anyways I have some idea to develop this ....
well if the script could do a little extra ..
like redirecting the output of the filename ...the timestamp when we are uploading and then tinypic url ....to a log file ..
you may ask where this will be useful
but some people like me forget easily just what I did some mins ago ..so if I want my link back then I can get it from the log and there would be history of all uploads I done ..and it would be lot more organized when we are uploading lots of pics
well if any one can help me out on deleting my comments ..bcz the earlier comment should be deleted
well the idea was to have the output copy/paste-ready; timestamps and logs dont really seem relevant.
dont let this discourage you from modifying the script on your own though, if thats what you need it to do.
Hey buddy ..this script is not working for me ..
I selected a image of size 240x320 and its 14kb in size ..then I selected the script ...then I get the error FORM ERROR ..
what could I have done wrong here ...
when I did manually Its uploading ..i.e., via the website
It doesn't seem to work for me - doesn't return a download link for the image, only a message "--done--". Also even if I select a bigger image (which should at least 10 or 15 seconds to upload considering my connection) the message appears right after I click on the script, so it doesn't even look like uploading it. Am I doing something wrong?
I had tested it with .jpg and .png, now I don't remember what exactly happened but it didn't seem to work, then I totally forgot about it.
However the new version works perfect. Thank you, it's really useful! :)
