Uploading the file #38

Closed JustCryen closed 3 years ago

Sorry for creating an issue just because of this but "Once installed upload image into the local storage" is quite vague. What location exactly do I need to put the file in? I tried / ~/ and ~/.octoprint but nothing changed so far.

Literally upload the image like it was a gcode file, ot the local side not the SD card side...

Okay, got it. For anyone trying to do it via ssh, it doesn't work. The directory is ~/.octoprint/uploads but for some reason it doesn't catch it. I actually didn't know that moving a file onto Octoprint tab uploads it so it didn't occur to me at first ;P

yeah, you shouldn't copy fies direct to uploads, if anything you should copy to the watched folder instead, that way the processors that exist for file handling would take care of it.

Actually, updating this once again for those interested. I've found a way to use ssh for it. copy the file to ~/.octoprint/data/custombackground and name it uploaded.png (Leave the extension as your original file, keep in mind the supported file types)
