New GIMP and Inkscape Plugin to upload art directly to dA!

**Rasa1111** · May 20th, 2011

Hey all GIMP and Inkscape users..

Doctormo has created an awesome plugin for both Inkscape and GIMP,
and it allows you to publish your art directly to deviantArt from within the program!

I just tested it out and it worked flawlessly!

Check it out!

deviantArt Plugins Released!

I’m please to announce that version 1.0 of the deviantArt stash plugins for Inkscape and Gimp are released.
It’s a Big Deal

This is a BIG deal my friends and I’m very excited because not only do we have this functionality, but we have it FIRST, before ANY proprietary software package. That’s right, the stash API was only announced last week and here I am giving you the keys to brand spanking new functionality right from within your favourite art creation applications!
We can do something with art that no other software can do today… send your artwork (with or without sources) directly to your deviantArt account… then once uploaded it can (at your option) open up the web browser so you can look at the artwork, send your friends a link or publish it further in your main galleries.

Many thanks!

Hmm...

Just noticed it uploaded the image in a .zip file, and the image is XCF format, not the PNG I had..
Not a huge deal.. but going to have to figure that out.....

Some categories won't accept PNG or GIF. (IE: Literature.)

GIF is not accepted, and never will be accepted, in Logos / Logotypes for some reason, even though I sometimes make Logos into the GIF Format (Animation.)

And if you try to submit something into Animation, it'll say PNG / GIF is not accepted (usually) due to it being a flash category.

DeviantART doesn't accept SVG, at least not a few years back when I tried submitting one to Vector / Vexel.
