# 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](https://support.discordapp.com/hc/en-us/articles/228383668-Intro-to-Webhooks)
|
|
* This program
|
|
|
|
## Getting started
|
|
|
|
### Binaries
|
|
|
|
Binaries are available for Mac, Linux and Windows [here](https://github.com/tardisx/discord-auto-upload/releases/latest).
|
|
|
|
#### From source
|
|
|
|
You'll need to [download Go](https://golang.org/dl/) 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.
|
|
|
|
## TODO
|
|
This is just a relatively quick hack. Open to suggestions on new features and improvements.
|
|
|
|
Open an [issue](https://github.com/tardisx/discord-auto-upload/issues/new) and let me know.
|
|
Please include any relevant logs from the console when reporting bugs.
