Command line options?
« on: June 23, 2008, 10:29:50 PM »
I am new here, so sorry if somebody already requested this.
I line rightload a lot and want to know if it has command line options. Something like:
"rightload new.jpg, server/newfolder" in the command line uploads the new.jpg to server/newfolder.
Is this possible?

There is a way to do this, but since it was only meant for communication between the shell extension and the main program, it's a bit weird. I will have to check the specifics after I managed to repair my computer, but basically the command is something like "Rightload.exe :Num:Dir: C:\file1 D:\file2", where Num is the number of the server you want to upload to and dir is the target directory.

Just so you know, the next version will support new, more intuitive parameters. They will probably be:

--server=ID (where ID is the number of the server, starting at 1)
--directory=PATH (where PATH is the path to the directory)
--custom-directory (will display a message box asking for target directory)
--autostart (this parameter will queue files and start the upload immediately)
--queue (this parameter will just queue files)

And to add files, use --autostart or --queue and add the file names as seperate parameters at the end.

The old syntax will keep working for a while, but I will probably remove it in the future.

Thanks for this. I use a file manager called XYplorer which allows me to run rightload with command line options. This way all I do is select a bunch of files and use a keyboard shortcut to upload those files. Its really one button task for me. Thanks for this product. Good job.

Hi!
Any chance to include the overwrite options in the command line? I'd love to be able to do one of these:

C:\Program Files\Rightload\Rightload.exe "screenshot_001.png"  --server=1 --autostart --existing=overwriteIfNewer
C:\Program Files\Rightload\Rightload.exe "screenshot_002.png"  --server=1 --autostart --existing=rename
C:\Program Files\Rightload\Rightload.exe "screenshot_003.png"  --server=1 --autostart --existing=renameLocal

Is there a way to open Rightload "silently" or in the System Tray?

I need it to add files to the queue from the command line without the window popping up continuously.

Thanks!
Stefan

The next version should contain a --background switch that will achieve this.

Hello, first thanks for the great program.
I am configuring it to use it in FireFox with the extension 'Launchy'. Works great so far. One problem:

Command line parameter --server. What would be the 'ID' for the plugin 'ImagesHack'?

Thanks
Thomas

Thank you very much. That did the job. Perhaps i will have a look into FF extensions some day 'trying' to make one for Rightload.

Thanks
Thomas
