===== What is this app? =====
gallery-uploader is a program that allows you to easily upload pictures to a
remote Gallery (http://gallery.menalto.com/) installation. It is particularly
suggested for use from Nautilus, the default (GNOME) filemanager.

Last version of gallery-uploader can always be found at
http://www.pietrobattiston.it/gallery_uploader.

It currently supports only Gallery version 2 installations.

===== How do I install it? =====
There are two ways to install gallery-uploader:

1) Single-user, as Nautilus script: just move into the extracted folder and
double-click "install.sh". This will uninstall previous versions if detected.

2) System-wide, as standalone program: if you use Debian, or a Debian
derivative, such as Ubuntu, just install the Debian package; otherwise, download
and extract the tarball, then open a terminal into the extracted folder and run
"sudo python setup.py install". Notice this will install it also as a
system-wide nautilus script: single users can enable it using for instance
nautilus-scripts-manager
(see http://www.pietrobattiston.it/nautilus-scripts-manager )

3) Single-user, as standalone program: just open a terminal into the extracted
folde and run "./gallery-uploader". Do not try to install with "python setup.py"
to private directories: it won't work.

===== What are its requirements? =====

You need
  * Python 2 (version 2.6 or higher),
  * python-xdg,
  * python-argparse (already present in Python 2.7),
  * python-gi (GObject Introspection),
  * libsecret,
all preinstalled in many Linux installations, and
  * galleryremote ( http://pietrobattiston.it/galleryremote ), which does the real work of communicating with remote Gallery instances.

Gallery-uploader was created to be used from Nautilus, GNOME's default
filemanager, but it is in no way tied to it: if you prefer, you can use it from
shell, by giving the names of the images to load as arguments. If it doesn't get
any argument, it will open a small browser which can be used to select the
desired pictures. This browser, which makes gallery-uploader a real standalone
program, requires the additional dependence python-gnome in order to work.

===== Old configuration files =====

Until version 1.11, Gallery-uploader relied on another library: gup.
Its configuration files may be left in a folder called ".gup" inside your home
directory. The first time you run a newer version of Gallery-uploader, it will
import them automatically. Afterwhile, if you do not use gup directly, you can
safely delete that folder.
