New Windows Uploader (Open Source)

Andy C

Hi,
I've written a Windows-based Smugmug uploader:

"SmugmugUploader is a tool designed to help upload pictures to a Smugmug gallery. It is designed to be easy to use and fault tolerant, i.e. if a file upload fails, it will try again. It uses the Smugmug REST Api."

The Sourceforge page is here.

Here is a screenshot of it running on Windows Vista:



It is written in C# (Microsoft .Net), and so should work on all Windows based machines.

I hope some of you guys find it useful.

p.s. I would have added it to the wiki, but user registration is currently closed.

Hi Andy, great!

I'm trying it right now.

I did get these not-so-friendly error messages when I tried to upload a >48mpix file and a >16mb file.

I'm uploading now about 300 files, 1.5gigs. Will let you know how it goes!

Andy, time to come up with a catchy name.

"SmugMug Uploader" sounds like it's ours... have you got any ideas?

Not really, hence the current name!

I am open to all suggestions if you want it changed, although I don't know how easy it is (i.e. how long it would take) to change a sourceforge project name.

Fantastic, where can I get a file like this to try?

just take a file in photoshop, and make it 9000 x 6000 pixels and save it at under 16megabytes.

For the over 16megabytes, take the same file, and add a ton of sharpening to it. Should be over 16mb at jpg12.

There is now a new release on the sourceforge site, this should fix the ugly error messages.

How did the upload testing go?

p.s. I assumed that 48 megapixels is 48*1024*1024 pixels (the same as megabytes). Does anyone know if this is correct?

Nope. Megapixels actually make sense. 1000*1000

How about : SmugmUploader

Funny...I was looking for an application that would let me upload multiple folders at once to one album.

Nice Job!
