UpShot is an automatic screen shot uploader for OS X, written in Python.

For sharing, UpShot uses Dropbox's Public folder, giving you maximum control over what you share.

Note: UpShot was only tested with OS X 10.7 -- Help porting it to 10.8 (or even back to 10.6, if that's desirable) will be greatly appreciated. As always, pull requests and Issues on github are welcome!

It's pretty basic right now:

• Listens to a new screenshot being created with OS X's default screenshot function.
• Gives that screenshot a random filename and moves it to your public Dropbox folder.
• Copies that public Dropbox URL to your clipboard.

You can find planned features (or suggest your own!) on github issues. The biggest feature currently planned (why I wrote this in the first place) is supporting a custom domain name�.

UpShot uses a fabric script for build and maintenance tasks:

1. Create a virtualenv.
2. pip install -r requirements.txt
3. fab build

This will build an app package in the directory dist. You can execute it from there. If you want to see console output, start it via fab run instead.

Note: Your virtualenv might not contain libpython2.x.dylib and thus cause an error. You can simply cd $VIRTUAL_ENV and ln -s /path/to/libpython2.7.dylib as a workaround.

The latest version has a configuration screen, but not everything is configurable yet. For a full list, check out upshot.py for constants. You can override all those in a (new) file settings_local.py.
