Picture Resizing Uploader

The Picture Resizing Uploader (PRU) is a new application that has the capability to resize pictures and then upload them to a provider of your choice (only flickr support at present). It is possible to create copyright text which will be dynamically adjusted to overlay the entire image, and manipulate the tags and photo information that is loaded from the meta data stored within the image (XMP).

Screen Shots

Main Window: This is the first screen that is presented to the user. Drag and drop files onto the list or select a directory. Next, select a provider and its options will be displayed. Authorize, and the user name, image and status will be updated. Finally select multiple photos at once to modify the properties or upload it directly to the provider.

Flickr Options: Once a picture is selected the metadata is extracted from the image and used to populate the fields. Additional information can be added to the image for uploading without affecting the original image. It is also possible to select/create a set and assign the image to it.

Resize Window: The resize/upload mode button allows the application to switch between upload and resize modes. When in resize mode, photos can be resized to a specific directory.

General Defaults: The general defaults allow configuration of the upload/resize mode and copyright text. When the picture is uploaded or resized a watermark will be created on each of the selected images.

Upload Defaults: From the upload defaults page it is possible to set the size that will be used when uploading the images.

Provider Defaults: From the provider defaults page it is possible to configure the default provider and its options.

Resize Defaults: The resize defaults page allows configuration of the resizing options and file/directory output configuration.

Copyright: Once resized or uploaded the copyright text will overlay the image.

Gadget: As part of the installation a gadget is installed into the google sidebar. This has a limited set of functionality and is still in an experimental phase.
