Xfce4 Screenshooter news
I was quite busy during the last few days but I found some time to work on Xfce4 Screenshooter. It is now able to upload screenshots to ZimageZ, a free image hosting solution. At the beginning, I was planning to use Imageshack, but the API they provide is not easy to use. Meanwhile, I discovered ZimageZ which I really like: it provides galeries, a clean interface and an XML-RPC API which allowed me to implement the image upload stuff almost easily.
At the moment, things are a bit raw. A(n ugly) dialog pops up asking for your ZimageZ user name and login, an image title and a comment; once you validate it, the upload starts. No progress indication yet. I still need to make everything look more beautiful, to improve the error handling and to document this stuff!
I won't implement any other new features for this release. From now on, I'll focus on getting things usable and good looking.

I just discovered this feature (using Xfce on my Xubuntu laptop), and I must say - it is great! Thanks!
I would prefer if we could easily change this - also, you should try out imgur.com - that works pretty swell.
Imgur would be nice, imageshack is the most reliable in my opinion.
I don't like the way ZimageZ puts the images on a page instead of directly linking to the actual image.
