Update: If you’re looking for jUploadr, it has a web site all its own now. Go learn more about jUploadr
I’ve been playing around with flickr recently, and I really like it. I’m trying to use more tools rather than writing everything myself, so flickr seemed a good choice for storing pictures. The problem is, they don’t have an upload client for linux, and I really don’t feel like noodling around with their form-based tool. It’s decent and all, but you have to painstakingly select each file you want to upload.
I searched the web for linux flickr uploaders, and I only found this one, but for some reason it didn’t work on my system. That’s most likely because of SuSe’s GTK support, but I was still stuck.
Well I’ve always wanted to learn SWT.
So, I created a jUploadr, a flickr Uploader for linux. Right now, it’s no-frills, but it’s simple to use and it works. I’ve tested it on my SuSe box and my Debian server, and it works fine on both. It requires Java 1.4 and GTK to be installed, but most modern Linuxes should have both.
To use it, extract the tar.gz file and run ./jUploadr. You’ll be presented with the main window. At that point, just drag images onto it. You’ll see the thumbnail appear after a few seconds. If an image is bordered in blue, that means you haven’t changed the attributes. Click on it to be presented with your options. You don’t have to change your options in order to send a file.
When you’re satisfied, click the button at the bottom, you’ll be prompted for your email address and password (your email address is saved. I’ll add the option to save your password soon) and it starts uploading.
When the upload is done, you’ll get a message telling you so (or an error message). After an image is uploaded, the thumbnail becomes inactive, and it won’t get sent again. However, it will remain in your display to remind you what you sent.
I haven’t threaded image uploading yet, so the display freezes while the upload takes place. That’s another feature that will come soon.
That’s about it. Here are some more features I’m going to add:
- Ability to save password
- Option to remove uploaded pictures from view
- Multithreaded upload
- Ability to reset password and email
- Warning about large image sizes and ability to re-size large images before upload. (Flickr doesn’t even show your full sized image if it’s bigger than 1024 on a side). This will minimize monthly bandwith for free users.
I appreciate any feedback.

Does it support proxy ?

I’d love to have this work on Windows … especially the multi-threading item from your TODO list. I’m a Java developer (though I’ve never worked with SWT), so I could possibly help out. Would you consider open-sourcing it?
Currently, attempts to run on Windows yield something like this:
(OS.java:19) (TextTransfer.java:34)(JUploadr.java:78)
C:\Temp\jUploadr>java -cp commons-codec.jar;commons-httpclient-3.0-beta1.jar;commons-logging.jar;jUploadr.jar;swt-pi.jar;swt.jar -Djava.library.path=\temp\juploadr org.scohen.juploadr.app.JUploadr

John, I sent you an email, but I wanted to let people know that SWT needs platform-specific libraries, and I didn’t include the windows DLLs with the tar.gz file. I don’t run windows (my windows partition fried itself months ago) and I have no way to test jUploadr in it.
Click here to download a version of SWT that will run on your system. Again, I haven’t tested this in windows yet, and you’ll probably have to muck a bit with java.library.path to get it to work.

I started your application today and I wondered where to enter the settings. I can’t specify my account nor proxy settings. Is this asked when starting the upload? I’d really like to hear from this project… as a java developer myself I have a strong interest in this uploadr. Maybe it can make it to a somewhat ‘official’ state.
January 3rd, 2005 at 9:11 am
Currently, there are no settings. You’re prompted for your username and password when you upload (your username is stored, but you’re always prompted for your password). Right now, proxies aren’t supported, but that feature is a #1 priority, and it shold be a simple addition.
In other news, I’ve set up a sourceforge account for the project, and I will upload files after work today.

A linux jUploadr for Flickr is a great idea. I run a movies interest site that I want to grow into a Video uploader - influenced by YouTube I guess - and need a technical platform for this. To some programmer out there this is a simple task. From pictures to mini films and video in .swf and .avi
Thanks for your Linux device. Geoff Dodd

I use Ubuntu Linux and I have no trouble using your App. Simple, intuitive, does exactly what you need it for. To open your Photo Folder see the Thumbnails and drag into the uploader window to see the Thumbnails in your App and I have had close to a hundred in the Loader with no problems uploading. THANK YOU THANK YOU (yes I know I am yelling but, I’m so happy!)
