jgraftonSome of you may remember the project idea I came up with over 10 months ago. You may also recall that I never actually accomplished anything beyond creating the Sourceforge project, for a variety of reasons, chief among them being a lack of time (in theory) and discovering that gThumb did most of what I was planning to do anyway.
Well, gThumb has no easy way to upload photos. I intend to fix that, supporting (eventually) ftp, scp, fotobilder, gallery, flickr, and probably many others, if they have open protocols. I've talked to the author, and he thought it sounded like a great idea.
So now I've gotta just figure out how, and make sure that I don't lose motivation. (You all should kick me if I do.) For scp and ftp, I suppose I'll just wrap to their command-line equivalents; I could use curl for ftp, but I'd prefer to add as few dependencies as is possible.
All the others use xml-rpc I believe, which means I've gotta find a usable c library for that, too. Fun!
And ideally this would be somewhat modular, such that it would be "easy" to write new plugins for other gallery systems in the future.
What're the chances I'll actually get any of this done?
Edit: I think I might be using cURL after all, as xml-rpc pretty much necessitates its use as well... hopefully that'll be okay.
