#viddick - chronicles of a capture program

viddick is a tool to quickly take and share screenshots, videos and other files. It uses escrotum for the capturing and simply moves the file to a specified location on a webserver and echos the generated url.

#Optional Requirements

• escrotum for taking pictures and videos
• zenity for selecting files with a file dialog
• xclip for copying the result into the clipboard
• notify-send for showing notifications

#Configuration The script expects a locally mounted folder where it can move the files into, a folder in that mount where the files should be stored in and finally the url that points to the mounted folder. Optionally the filename can be set via a variable otherwise it will use the basename of the generated file.

e.g

destinationPrefix="/mount/server"
destinationFolder="uploads"
destinationFile=$(basename "$file")
hostPrefix="https://host.foo"


#results
$localFolder="/mount/server/uploads"
$destination="/mount/server/uploads/filename"
$url="https://host.foo/uploads/filename"

Or simply rewrite the uploadFile function to a custom upload method
