Introduction:

Seeing as how I noticed there was no guide to installing jUploadr I figured someone should write one. (That and its about time I gave something back to a great community that has helped me out so many times)

jUploadr:

(From the jUploader website (http://juploadr.org/))
jUploadr is a cross platform, cross-site Photo uploader. Currently it runs on Windows Linux and OS X and supports both Flickr and Zooomr. It allows you to set all properties of a photo before you upload it. It also supports batch editing, so you can make short work of uploading a bunch of files.

To install jUploadr:

1. download jUploader (http://juploadr.org/download_linux.php) to your desktop
2. rename the file to jUploadr.tar.gz
3. open a shell (Applications > System Tools > Konsole) and enter the following commands
sudo mkdir /usr/local/share/java
cd Desktop
sudo mv jUploadr.tar.gz /usr/local/share/java
cd /usr/local/share/java
sudo tar zxvf jUploadr.tar.gz
sudo rm jUploadr.tar.gz
exit

There its installed, lets...

Add it to the applications menu!

1. right-click applications
2. go to Edit Menus
3. Change the directory on the left to "Internet"
4. Click "New Item"
5. Enter the following in the dialog box
Type:Application
Name: jUploadr
Command: /usr/local/share/java/jUploadr-1.1.2-linuxGTK-i386/jUploadr
Comment:Upload pictures to Flickr and Zooomr
change the icon to /usr/local/share/java/jUploadr-1.1.2-linuxGTK-i386/juploadr.ico
6. Click "Ok" in the dialog box and "Close" in the menu editor

Your done, I hope you Enjoy!

Notes: the paths may need to be changed to reflect the version of jUploadr that you downloaded. This tutorial does not cover installing java, you will also need this installed if it isn't already, there have been plenty of good tutorials on this so I won't cover it.

this is great! thanks Dragoncracker.

Dragoncracker's original tutorial is designed for Hardy/Kubuntu installation, I believe, but I am happy to let you all know it works perfectly with my Intrepid/Ubuntu installation as well.

Thanks!
