peek Imgur upload functionality

Added libsoup and json-glib so we can use the imgur api to do an HTTPS POST, and parse the json that is returned.

@phw let's keep this open as I push changes to this branch

Apr 13 '18 14:04 gort818

Added a bunch more goodies, still a lot of work to do. But the imgur upload is working, should I have a gtk text box to show the link of the file or just have it open in a web browser?

Take a look when you get a chance it is still pretty messy atm.

TODO:

~~Add error handling for the json parser.~~
Add functionality for opening in file manager
What to do with the imgur link when finished uploading.
Clean up code.

Just a side note we cannot upload webm files to imgur. https://help.imgur.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000083326-What-files-can-I-upload-What-is-the-size-limit- ~~And for some reason I cannot get mp4 files to upload.~~ Edit: Imgur does not support mp4 uploads through their api :(

Hey,

Would you like giving a try to Up2Share instead (https://up2sha.re)? I’m looking for an app that can serve as a desktop client to record image/gif/videos.

We support webm/mp4/gif uploads and previews as well. The current API is behind an API token but I’m sure we can work on public endpoints easily.

Let me know what you think.

@cocochepeau once we get this branch merged we will look into other options for uploads, thanks for the heads up!

May 09 '18 14:05 gort818

Thanks - feel free to ping me if you need anything. :)

May 11 '18 12:05 cocochepeau

@phw everything seems to function well enough, I am not sure how to proceed when you get a chance can you give this a test. I am going to need some help integrating this.. not sure what is the best way yet.

May 15 '18 18:05 gort818

@phw Have you had any time to take a look yet?

Jun 07 '18 14:06 gort818

Thanks for taking the time to review this! I will take a look this week and make some changes!

Jun 13 '18 23:06 gort818

Was out of town the past week, trying to get this done soon, sorry for the delay.

Jun 28 '18 01:06 gort818

my old thinkpad died on me:( just got a new laptop.. sorry for the delay

Jul 14 '18 22:07 gort818

No worries, I just came back from vacation and catching up on stuff :)

Jul 15 '18 11:07 phw

Finally go around to it, thanks for your suggestions all made perfect sense. take a look :)

Jul 20 '18 02:07 gort818

I just remembered we switch to meson, going to have to make some changes to the build file.

Aug 30 '18 18:08 gort818

Ok now works great with meson, just need to have libsoup installed.

Sep 22 '18 00:09 gort818

@phw Love it you could take another look :)

Oct 25 '18 00:10 gort818

Hello there! It would be a great feature, but i'm not sure if should be a built-in feature.

I'm a fan of Shutter for image capture and editing and because it lack upload to diferent servers a wrote this code that listen for changes in a folder and upload it to Dropbox. https://github.com/jcarizza/drosh/

Maybe we can make a side project that listen for new files and upload them to Imgur, Dropbox or what ever.

Apr 26 '19 17:04 jcarizza

any progress on this ? would hate to see this rot

Sep 04 '19 20:09 luzpaz

@luzpaz it works haven't touched the code for months, haven't had anyone test it out.., give it a test drive :) waiting for @phw to take another look.

Sep 04 '19 21:09 gort818

@gort818 i will be happy to test. Just need a hand with building it. In the README it says:

meson --prefix=/usr/local builddir
cd builddir
ninja

# Run directly from source
./peek

# Install system-wide
sudo ninja install

first question: how do i create test binary without polluting my currently installed peek app? I think this may be called an 'out of source build' right?

second question: sudo ninja install i can skip this correct ?

source: https://github.com/phw/peek#from-source

Sep 05 '19 13:09 luzpaz

@luzpaz Yeah just skip the install command, and just run ./peek from the build directory.

Sep 06 '19 17:09 gort818

@gort818 I pulled your branch, I ran the following:

meson --prefix=/usr/local builddir
cd builddir
ninja

but the peek binary wasn't created.

@luzpaz It compiled successfully . I don't remember where it puts the executable in builddir/src

@luzpaz ok I updated it .. should work now give it a shot :)

@luzpaz I should have read your error :(

(peek:27066): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 01:44:11.798: Settings schema 'com.uploadedlobster.peek' is not installed

copy data/com.uploadedlobster.peek.gschema.xml to /usr/local/share/glib-2.0/schemas/ and then

run:

glib-compile-schemas /usr/local/share/glib-2.0/schemas/

Sep 07 '19 05:09 gort818

I'll try tomorrow. Will report then

Sep 07 '19 05:09 luzpaz

@luzpaz did you give it a test?

Sep 17 '19 00:09 gort818

Yea, tried but needed to reset my environment. Will try again in the next few days. Sorry for keeping you hanging.
