GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 352597
F-Spot needs a Walmart.com export option.

It would be great if F-Spot could export to Walmart.com so that uploading pictures from Linux wouldn't be such a pain. :)
Created attachment 71505 [details] [review] Adds the functionality as described by this enhancement request This patch adds the functionality. It is modeled after the current Flickr export. Whenever plugin support is added this module will need to be refactored.

Great ! This will probably never be in the core of F-Spot*, but it's a really good candidate for a plugin. You can keep working on it, refactoring it as plugin later is easy and your work will not be lost. * not because it's not a good one, but mostly because it doesn't apply to everyone (read non US people).
Hi Jae, the next version of F-Spot will be Extension-enabled. So before turning this into an extension, can you give me a quick update on those points : - is this thing still uptodate (I mean on the protocol side, not the F-Spot one) - is it working ? - did you developped the WalmartRemote from scratch or copied from an other place ? if so, what was the licence of the source ? - you didn't mentioned any licence info on your headers. I guess you mean 'same licence terms as f-spot's' ? Waiting from your responses... in the meantime, I'll check if I can create an wallmart account without living in the US...
I have not tried this in awhile. I've noticed that Walmart has changed their site. It probably won't work anymore. I developed this code myself, I got the idea that it was possible from using Picasaweb (used ethereal to decode a bit of the protocol). Used some books to figure out how to post data and manage cookies. But most of the help came from walmart.com itself. You can treat this code as the same license as f-spot. I can probably rework the protocol with the new changes from walmart if needed. Cheers, Jae
Hey Jae, thx for your quick answer. I'd say don't spend time on it if you no longer use this pritn service. But if you still use it, or plan to use in the future, I'll be happy to help you making an extension out of this !
It turns out that both Walmart and Walgreens use SnapFish's backend API: <?Snapfish_External_API version="1.0"?> The problem is I cannot find it documented anywhere. If they all use the same API, maybe we could get 3 uploading capabilities for the price of 1 :) Google's Picasa software supports uploading. Maybe I'll look into it again. Jae
Comment on attachment 71505 [details] [review] Adds the functionality as described by this enhancement request Maintenance update: In the past we've been less than stellar in reviewing patches. As such we have a pile of patches in bugzilla which are outdated and don't apply anymore. Am currently marking all of these as "needs-work". My apologies for this. Since I've become a maintainer of the project, I've set the personal rule of quickly reviewing all patches, to avoid that this happens again. If you (or anyone) wants to go through the trouble of updating this patch, please talk to us to figure out if it fits in the F-Spot long term roadmap. Should you, in the future, notice a patch lingering around for too long, please notify us immediately and we'll look into it, to avoid situations like these from happening again.

F-Spot has moved to https://github.com/f-spot/f-spot/issues If this Bugzilla ticket is still valid in a recent version of F-Spot, please feel free to post this topic as a ticket in the F-Spot project on GitHub. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping as we are planning to shut down GNOME Bugzilla in favor of GNOME Gitlab.
