Shotty Rackspace upload plugin
20 December, 2011Scott Hanselman's 2011 Dev Tools list included a new (to me) screenshot utility, Shotty. What's nice about these newer screenshot utilities is the ability to respect alpha transparency and drop shadows created by Aero - it's much nicer than having to line various windows up with a white background before taking a screenshot.
For all my blog posts I use Rackspace to store images, which unfortunately Shotty doesn't handle natively. Shotty is however a .NET 2.0 app, with a plugin API.
The code is up on GitHub, or you can download the compiled plugin - just unzip it into your Shotty directory.
At this stage, there is only root container level upload access. Later on, I'll add the ability to put it into subcontainers.
