Upload tip...

I have been playing about with a cool new Widget which I discovered one day recently and love it so much I wanted to share it...

Its called Localhostr Uploadr and heres how it works...

Tutorial

1. Download and install the widget...

2. Click and drag a file from your computer - I like to use the keyboard shortcuts to take a screen shot and upload it using this app straight from the desktop.

3. Drag the file into the top area of the widget labelled "Drop a file here to upload"...

4. Now click "Copy URL" under your file in the lower area and paste it into your destination text field.

I hope this helps everyone, and if you want you can even eradicate step 4 by using the "i" to flip the widget over and tick "Copy URL automatically".

No idea, I couldn't get it to let me, but as I see it there is no need.

Unless you want to keep your files for 30+ days.

It's a limited private beta.

I use Image Upload Widget. It does pretty much the same thing (minus recently uploaded list).

I hate the image shack though so I would rather they expire, longer stuff I put on my own hosting.

I use skitch. Seems much less of a pita than that.

So after a simple install dragging the screen shot to a dropper is harder? Each to their own lol

Well ive tried it now and it seems pretty good to me.

A few people moaning about its security if you google for it, but then again if you'd use this for anything personal/private/illegal/etc then you're pretty stupid in the first place.
