How to use

Run

to get command-line help.

To upload an image file:

ptpimg_uploader ~/seed/mytorrent/folder.jpg

To rehost an imgur image:

ptpimg_uploader https://i.imgur.com/eaT6j3X.jpg

An uploaded URL will be printed to the console.

If --bbcode parameter is specified, URLS will be wrapped in BBCode [img] tags:

ptpimg_uploader --bbcode ~/seed/mytorrent/folder.jpg

If pyperclip python package is installed, the URL will be additionally copied to the clipboard. Additionally, you can upload an URL from the clipboard:

The resulting URLs are printed each on separate line, and copied to your clipboard with newlines in between.
