Sharex: Imgur delete support

Created on 2 Dec 2014  路  16Comments  路  Source: ShareX/ShareX

When uploading to imgur, you get a "deletehash" in the response. As per https://api.imgur.com/endpoints/image you can delete a remote image using that hash (anonymous upload) or with authentication.

Right-clicking and "Delete from Web" or something like that would be nice when clicking on the uploaded version in the ShareX list.

@Efreak there is already Open -> Deletion URL button.

It is already exist in right click menu...

It has the option to open the delete URL, but that requires multiple steps to then remove. The Imgur API would allow removal directly from within ShareX.

It also makes less sense when I right the uploaded version in the list that it allows me to one click delete the original - it should allow one click removal of the uploaded version. If I right click the local one it makes sense to allow removal.

The thing is, you are lazy to open deletion URL to remove image. But I'm also lazy to implement deletion of image using http request which will take hours of efforts compared to your few seconds of opening deletion URL. So it not worth adding.

Yes. One of the reasons I am using your wonderful application is because I am too lazy to upload it myself to Imgur.

I'm just giving my suggestion (and thank you for responding). In the end, it's your call where you put your time, I'm still very happy that you put it here at all :)

@Jaex: Any chance of just adding a shortcut in the menu to open that url in the browser? This would be far more convenient for those of us that have to actually look up the url for it every time we want to delete something.

It doesn't help that double-clicking the hash to select the word selects a whole bunch of other text as well.

@Efreak there is already Open -> Deletion URL button.

@Jaex Feel free to pretend I didn't ask that...I have no idea how I missed it.
:frowning: :anguished:

Where does it store deletion URL's?

In history window.

How can I disconnect the imgur API from ShareX? I can't find the API settings anymore.

Where can I find that menu?

In main window destinations menu.

Thanks.

if nothing happens : check the path of your browser in application settings/ advance (in my case the path was pointing to an empty folder, the remains of an old Firefox installation)

I love the ShareX application and have been recommending it to my colleagues. Keep up the good work team.

I think straight out "Delete from IMGUR direclty" rather than having to open a link and click on Yes Remove from Imgur in Imgur site, as a Menu Item seems to be a reasonable request.

Also having Delete URL under Open menu item is bit confusing, Can we not have it on the first level of the Menu like "Delete URL"
