Img2url

A simple desktop tool for image inserting while writing markdown files.
When triggerd, this little application grab the image in clipboard, upload it to seafile server, get the share link, and format the url with pre-defined(custimizable) format string, and copy it to clipboard or replace the trigger keyword you just inputed in markdown file. And it also provides the Local Work Mode which allows you to insert images without internet, and it also provide the function that help migrate all images in a markdown file, to another directory on your system or some other seafile server!

Start Contributing the Project on Your System

If you need to use the fbs to build the project and deploy

1. Make sure you've installed dependencies listed above. (Module versions' not restricted, excluding PyQt5 and Python itself)
2. Create a Startup project with fbs, run command fbs startproject or python -m fbs startproject, answers a few question, and the fbs will generate the structured sample project for you under the working directory.
3. Clone the project to your system, extract the files into the sample project you've just created( Overwrite of course).
4. Start your Python IDE to run main.py or use command fbs run(in the same path when you executes the create command) or python -m fbs run

If no need for deployment.

1. Follow the Step1 up above.
2. Clone the project to your system and extract all files into wherever you like.
3. Start your Python IDE to run img2url.py.
