PictureUploader Vers. 0.40 
------------------------------------
Summary 

The austrian website http://www.geizhals.at offers a free picture upload service at http://www.666kb.com/. 
As I didn't want to start my browser for every picture I wanted to upload, me and El Barto wrote this litte program. 
It goes into your SendTo folder and enables you to upload 1-n pictures to the above website. If the upload is complete the new download URL gets copied into your clipboard.
Starting with Version 0.35 we have also added screenshot capabilities enabling you to upload screenshots to http://www.666kb.com/ with just one click or, if you prefer, first censor/crop the screenshot and then upload it . If you like this program you might think about donating some money to the Nartosoft Beerfund so we can buy more beer and other stuff in order to improve it!

The Picuploader Configurator 

The Configurator is used to create configurations which replace the command line parameters. We have enclosed some example configurations which can be edited using this tool.
For every option there is an explanation in the "Erklrungen" textarea. If you are satisfied with your configuration you can create a SendTo Link using the "SendTo generieren" Button. First, you have to input a name for the link, then choose an icon. This part is fairly new so if you run into any problems contact us at: nartosoftATnagelfarDOTcom 

Known issues 

If 666kb.com changes the input form or the layout of the output page (containing the uploaded image's link), things might get messy. If no filename is given for the -h parameter things get ugly, I (Nagelfar) am too lazy to fix this, though, just use it as stated in this readme, ok? Scaling Size Alg not perfect. Scaling might take some time, but necessary to have good quality! 

License 

This program is released under the Beerware License (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beerware). As El Barto doesn't like beer you can substitute it with wine. So, if you want to use this program, you have to send us at least one bottle of beer/wine or invite us to a drink. Adresses are given out on request, good looking women preferred. If you want to donate money instead of beer go to http://www.nagelfar.com/ and see, if you can find a Paypal Link within the Java Section. 

This program may be distributed every which way as long as the zip file remains intact and credit is given to me, Nagelfar and El Barto. 

For any questions regarding this program please contact us at: nartosoftATnagelfarDOTcom 

This program is provided as is, there's no warranty whatsoever.

El Barto wants to say thank you to: El Barto 

As this program starts to get better, more and more bottles of beer get used while creating it, but still only 1 picture of a bamboo bong has been used. Problem is, we use more beer and other stuff, than we get because of this program, which sucks! No small animals or children have been hurt...yet (not true, I, Nagelfar, confess to the killing of a fly because I was frustrated). NO beer has arrived yet. People seem to like (and use) this program but nobody sends beer(money) :( I (Nagelfar) apologise to El Barto for the huge version jump from 0.10 to 0.20, I deemed it necessary.
