I am going to try it again just to see before I quit for the day. RebornOS with openbox wm and another wallpaper I made on playgroundai and firefox with 14 tabs open at the time.

^ Got it, thanks!

I am finding it easier for me to use imgbb.com for my pics and screenshots than what I was using before (imgur) so I am going to stick with imgbb.com.

I think img.bb has a bigger limit on image size compared to Imgur as well.

No problem.

Don't forget:

and other images (imgur).

I do not know.
I just know that imgur should be (temporarily) avoided.

I haven't had any problems with it, but whatever. Use any hosting site you like. I just want to see the full-size scrots.

Döbbie03 · 2024-03-23 02:41:54

I deleted my account there years ago. I prefer img.bb.

You'll probably need to modify the script you've been using so far (Thunar).

I don't think there's anything wrong with the image upload script. Thunar is only involved in that it is configured to call that script from its right-click menu, but the upload script can be called any way you want.

Imgur does seem a bit unpredictable for some people recently in how it handles direct links, but it's always worked OK for me.

If Imgur turns out to be unusable in the future there is an alternative bl-imgbb-upload script already shipped in bunsen-utilities. I haven't used it (originally written by another dev several years ago) so it might need some tweaking to get it working properly in 2024.

If any BL user want to use imgbb by default instead of imgur:

touch ~/bin/bl-image-upload
bl-text-editor ~/bin/bl-image-upload

Copy in this content:

#!/bin/bash
#
# bl-image-upload: script to upload files to an image hosting service
# Taking of screenshots is also supported.
# At present this is a wrapper script around bl-imgur-upload,
# but may be extended in the future.
# This version uses bl-imgbb-upload

hash bl-imgbb-upload 2>/dev/null || {
    echo "$0: bl-imgbb-upload is not available" >&2
    exit 1
}

bl-imgbb-upload "$@"

Make sure it's in your PATH and executable:

echo $PATH

The output should include /home/<username>/bin

chmod +x ~/bin/bl-image-upload
which bl-image-upload

The last command should return /home/<username>/bin/bl-image-upload not /usr/bin/bl-image-upload

As I said above, bl-imgbb-upload might need tweaking, so if you hit any issues, please start a new support thread.

I said the same thing.
Of course, Thunar is just running the script (right-click menu).
I wanted this not to happen:

P.S.
I don't know what Thunar looks like today, but I found a few custom actions in my archive.
Maybe they exist now (?):

Checksum (Purpose: Thunar Custom Action. Calculates hashes)
Copy to …
Move To …

If anyone is interested, I'll open a new topic (GUI & Applications).

I completely agree with @johnraff.
The imgur-upload-script is ok.

In my opinion, the error lies in the fact that the BB code does not always transmit the file extension of the image correctly. @damo has already pointed this out here:

damo wrote:

Repeat: To get the linked direct image you need make sure to add the file extension to the url. Their recommended BB code doesn't really convey this properly.

Because the file extension '.png or .jpeg/jpg' etc. is not transmitted, I end up on the imgur main page and .png is missing here.
If I add the .png to this imgur page, the image is immediately opened in the correct size.

@marens, are you familiar with the BB code?

Of course, I use the BB code very often.

Some users have already edited their posts in a similar way.

Windows 10, Gnome, Plasma (Wayland and X11) were thrashing the CPU on the old Toshiba laptop. Xfce4 is working pretty well.

Thanks! Hyprland, I've been doing some work on it...

@PackRat, I wouldn't mind at all if Xfce was the only DE available on linux and everybody just worked on development there.

-edit- @ututo, after looking again at my GNOME scrot that you linked, I've bumped my Hyprland gaps up to 8px from 5. You're right, 8 is the sexy sweet spot for this screen resolution.

Yeah, I hate how imgbb formats its thumbnails, what is that hack cropping? /rhetorical question

@Dobbie, bitchin' wall! And again, I love your compositor (picom?) settings.

@unklar, is that your first dk WM scrot here? Sweet.
