Flameshot Uploader (fu)

Allowing you to supply a .sxcu file for uploading files with Flameshot

Usage

fu 1.0.0

USAGE:
    fu <SUBCOMMAND>

FLAGS:
    -h, --help       Print help information
    -V, --version    Print version information

SUBCOMMANDS:
    add        Add an SXCU compatible uploader
    default    Set an uploader as the default one
    delete     Delete an uploader

    screen     Screenshot the entire desktop
    show       Show all uploaders

Todo

There are many features that SXCU supports, yet fu doesn't, like regexes, and non multipart/form-data bodies. I hope to add these later down the line.

• Support $regex:*$
• Support $json:*$
• Support $response$ - when the request doesn't have json (text/plain)
• Support other uploading options other than multipart/form-data

Adding SXCU Files

You can either move the .sxcu file into ~/.fu/uploaders or run the command

fu /path/to/uploader.sxcu

Removing Uploaders

The name will be the <name>.sxcu

fu uploader

Show all uploaders

fu show

The default uploader will be bolded to differentiate it from other uploaders

Set a default uploader

fu default uploader

If there is no default uploader, it will just take a screenshot and copy the image to the clipboard

Taking screenshots

Use the Flameshot GUI to take a screenshot of a certain region. You can append the -n/--no-upload flag to not upload files using the default uploader.
