Automatically upload screenshots into a discord channel
This program automatically uploads new screenshots that appear in a folder on your computer to Discord and posts them in a channel:
Point it at your Steam screenshot folder, or similar, and shortly after you hit your screenshot hotkey the screenshot will appear in your discord chat.
What you'll need
- A folder where screenshots are stored
- A discord webhook
- This program
Getting started
Binaries
Binaries are available for Mac, Linux and Windows here.
From source
You'll need to download Go check the code out somewhere, run 'go generate' and then 'go build'.
Using it
dau configuration is managed via its internal web interface. When the executable is run, you can visit
http://localhost:9090 in your web browser to configure the it. Configuration persists across runs, it is
saved in a file called '.dau.json' in your home directory.
The first time you run it, you will need to configure at least the discord web hook and the watch path for
dau to be useful.
While running, dau will continually scan a directory for new images, and each time it finds one it will
upload it to discord, via the discord web hook.
dau will only upload "new" screenshots, where "new" means a file that appears in a directory that it is watching, if it appears after it has started executing.
Thus, you do not have to worry about pointing dau at a directory full of images, it will only upload new ones.
Limitations/bugs
- Only files ending jpg, gif or png are uploaded.
- If multiple screenshots occur quickly (<1 second apart) not all may be uploaded.
- Files to upload are determined by the file modification time. If you drag and drop existing files they will not be detected and uploaded. Only newly created files will be detected.
