Hi,

Is there a way to delete capture uploaded to imgur? is it uploaded using a particular account?

Regards,

Hello @nlegaillart.
Uploads are not associated with an account, thet are unauthenticated and based on an API key.
In order to delete an image you need the deleteHash returned by the HTTP response.

Actually the implementation of the imgur uploader doesn't save the deleteHash so I don't know if they can be deleted. I didn't think about the need to erase images when I wrote it.
I'll have to think how to implement a proper way to be able to delete them.

ok, thanks a lot for the quick reply. and for your wonderful software :)

Is this ever going to work? (deleting from imgur)

Was this ever sorted out? Just export the hash into a config file somewhere so this is at least manually possible

I think this "easy to upload but impossible to delete from Imgur" is a serious and irreversible privacy issue. e.g., A user could upload a screenshot containing personal data accidentally but have no way to delete it.

I am completely reworking the image upload feature as part of our next release (0.9) Typing out the proposal now :)
