# f0ckm Uploader
|
||
|
||
A modern, high-contrast **KDE Plasma System Tray Uploader** and desktop integration suite for [f0ckm](https://git.lat/kibi/f0ckm). Features real-time digit progress icons, single-instance IPC, Dolphin context menus, Spectacle screenshot capture, and smart preview notifications.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Features
|
||
|
||
- **System Tray App with Live Progress**: Dynamic system tray icon displaying live upload percentage (`0`–`99`%).
|
||
- **Single-Instance IPC Architecture**: 100% Python-based daemon (`PySide6`). Multiple invocations (hotkeys, Dolphin context menu) delegate directly to the running tray instance without spawning duplicates.
|
||
- **Black Sun Branding & Themes**: Features sharp "Black Sun" graphics with a choice between Dark and Light tray themes, plus a solid white-background Start Menu launcher icon.
|
||
- **Dolphin Context Menu Integration**: Right-click any file in Dolphin -> **Actions** -> **Upload to f0ckm**.
|
||
- **Spectacle Screenshot Capture**: Region capture integration via hotkeys or menu trigger (`kde-uploader-gui --spectacle`).
|
||
- **Smart Notification Previews**:
|
||
- **Images**: Fast native scaling via PySide6.
|
||
- **Videos** (`.mp4`, `.webm`, etc.): Automatic frame extraction at `00:00:01` via `ffmpeg`.
|
||
- **Other Files**: Sleek placeholder file badges showing the file extension.
|
||
- **Clipboard & Settings GUI**: Direct clipboard image/path uploads and a built-in Settings dialog for configuring API keys, default tags, visibility, rating, and autostart.

## Quick Setup & Installation
|
||
|
||
### 1. Clone the Repository
|
||
```bash
|
||
git clone https://git.lat/kibi/f0ckm-uploader
|
||
cd f0ckm-uploader
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### 2. Install Python Dependencies
|
||
```bash
|
||
pip install PySide6
|
||
```
|
||
*(Or install via system package manager: `sudo dnf install python3-pyside6` / `sudo apt install python3-pyside6`)*
|
||
|
||
### 3. Environment Configuration *(Optional)*
|
||
You can set up a `.env` file prior to installation, or configure settings later via the GUI:
|
||
```bash
|
||
cp .env.example .env
|
||
```
|
||
Edit `.env`:
|
||
```env
|
||
API_URL=https://your-f0ckm-instance.com/api/v2/upload
|
||
API_KEY=your_secret_api_key
|
||
DEFAULT_RATING=s
|
||
DEFAULT_TAGS=screenshot
|
||
DEFAULT_VISIBILITY=0
|
||
DEFAULT_IS_OC=false
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### 4. Run the Installer
|
||
```bash
|
||
chmod +x install.sh
|
||
./install.sh
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The installer will automatically:
|
||
1. Copy binaries to `~/.local/bin/kde-uploader-gui` and `~/.local/bin/kde-uploader`.
|
||
2. Generate multi-resolution icons (`32x32`, `48x48`, `64x64`, `128x128`, `256x256`) for KRunner & Start Menu compatibility.
|
||
3. Register the Dolphin context menu action in `~/.local/share/kio/servicemenus/`.
|
||
4. Register the `.desktop` application launchers and rebuild the KDE Plasma cache (`kbuildsycoca6`).
