(At least it’s had plenty of testing though)

  • You can now specify custom filenames for each upload (either for every upload, or if there is no window title already)
  • You can chose to copy the clipping URL to your clipboard before the upload starts, or after it finishes (or not at all)
  • Added the option to let you save a local copy of annotated/edited files
  • Made the unique ID appended to filenames a bit longer

This release also should fix a rare bug with some strange characters causing problems in the URL copied to the clipboard (though the upload worked fine).

Please see the CHANGES.txt and README.txt in the zip file for more information.

Enjoy! :D

I’ve also vastly improved the error messages you get if you do encounter a new bug.

I’ve also changed from using RAR files to ZIP files, so you don’t require a proprietary application to extract the add-in :)

]]> http://www.fr3d.org/blog/actionftp-beta-2/feed/ 1 ActionFTP WindowClippings Add-in: Beta http://www.fr3d.org/blog/actionftp-windowclippings-addin-beta/ http://www.fr3d.org/blog/actionftp-windowclippings-addin-beta/#comments Wed, 04 Jun 2008 19:35:22 +0000 Fr3d http://www.fr3d.org/blog/?p=128 This is the first (and hopefully the last) beta of ActionFTP, an add-in I have written in C# for Kenny Kerr’s WindowClippings – a simple, yet incredible easy and very high-quality screenshot utility for Windows.

Two Important Notes:

  • This is a beta, so I’ve set it to expire in July (just to stop people from using old code that could (but hopefully won’t) contain bugs).
  • You will require a license to use this, as WindowClippings doesn’t allow unregistered users to use add-ins.
  • Update: The current (and newer) versions of WindowClippings no longer require licenses to use add-ins!


To save me rewriting it, I’ve taken this from the readme file I wrote earlier:

ActionFTP is a “Send To” add-in: it takes the processed clipping (after any extra “Filter” add-ins have done their stuff), saves a copy to your “temp” folder, and then opens it for editing/annotating/etc in a program of your choice (eg. Photoshop, Paint.Net, The GIMP), before automatically uploading it to any FTP server of your choice, and then copying the direct web-facing URL to the new clipping to your clipboard.

ActionFTP shares a number of features and similarities with Ari Glaizel’s “Send to FTP” add-in, which I used for months before developing ActionFTP. If you’re used to “Send to FTP”, you should find ActionFTP very familiar! :-)

Installation instructions and some other notes are in the “README.txt” file, so it might be worth a quick read ;-)

Please feel free to suggest any changes or report any problems you encounter using the comments form below.

If you receive the following error message: “The addin failed to register”, it’s likely that the WindowClippings.exe and/or WindowClippings.dll file is an old version.

Update: By request, I’ve added a Yes/No prompt before opening the .exe you specify – very useful if you want to quickly upload a basic clipping and have no need to wait for Photoshop/etc to open :)

Download: ActionFTP Beta 1.

Enjoy! :D
