Feature request: Dropbox share link after upload? #1168

Closed silentdial closed 1 year ago

silentdial commented 1 year ago

I just installed Kap on Ventura 13.2.1 and it seems to work great. One feature I would LOVE to have, and it would be a gamer changer in my opinion. After uploading to Dropbox if the app could display the SHARE link that Dropbox provides, a quick "copy" of that link, and I could share it with clients using Dropbox! Possible? Thanks for the great app. Love it so far

Hi there, thanks for the kind words. There is a plugin for this, but it's quite old so I've no idea if it still works: https://www.npmjs.com/package/kap-dropbox

You can install this from your preferences in Kap itself.

I'm in the preferences and I don't see how to install a new plugin. I see the list of available but not sure how to search or add this? Do you have a newbie guide on how that is done? I'll test it

Sorry, now I see what you mean. So I have notifications turned on for the Dropbox plugin. It does upload fine. I can get a share link in Dropbox, but no desktop notification is showing, so there is no way to capture the share link from the application itself. I can login dropbox to get the link, but obviously that's not a great workflow... Possible fix?

Note: I am not running the Dropbox app, or anything Dropbox on my computer. Just the Kap app itself.

According to the plugin readme, there is a mute option that is on by default. If you configure the plugin from the installed plugins preference pane, you are able to turn this off:

Note: this is enabled by default to avoid multiple notifications from dropbox, but since you're not running it, this is safe to disable.

Yep, I tried that. I don't seem to get any notifications without the Dropbox app. Let me test some more. Back in a few

Update: Ok, notifications are working! I had to switch completely off (slider) the Share on Dropbox plugin, then re-enable it. Then it prompts to "configure" and then I turned off the default mute option. Now when I export to Dropbox I get a pop up on the desktop that copies the share link to clipboard. Thanks for your help.

Ah, thanks for debugging! I'm glad you got it working. Please don't hesitate to submit another issue if you have any problems.
