Watch folder image uploader

in guide

Watch Folder Upload Images

../images/watch_folder.png

The watch folder module, allows you to to specify a folder to watch, as soon as an image is added to that folder, it will be uploaded to tumblr. This is a great way to keep your blogs up to date if you run external scrapers without having to keep creating new actions to upload images.

There are two ways in which images can be detected to be uploaded

  1. the image itself
  2. a meta file

The Image Itself

This one is quite obvious, the program detects a file in the folder and uploads it setting the meta from the tokenised meta system.

Advanced Account Details

in guide

../images/accountdetailsadvanced.png

Daily Limits

The daily limits allow you to specify what this account is allowed to process within a 24 hour period. These are account specific limits and will override the Global Daily Limits as set on the global SETTINGS tab.

NOTE: There are two methods for calculating your Daily Limit usage. By default the program will use the "past 24 hours". So if it is now Monday 15:05 / 3:05pm, all items you have processed since Sunday 15:05 / 3:05pm will be calculated. However, Tumblr limits work from number of item processed since midnight Central time. If you want to use this method for calculating your previously processed items, please check select it on the SETTINGS tab in the Global Limits section

Image Syndication

in guide

When you post an image to Tumblr, before the image is uploaded to tumblr it can be syndicated to your wordpress or blogger sites. The URL of the page containing the image on your wordpress / blogger blogs can then be used in your tumblr posts.

This allows you to squeeze the user off of tumblr to sites you control where there are no rules on marketing external products.

Example. You could specify to reduce the quality and size of the image published to tumblr with a description "View full size and quality image here <your syndicated URL>"

The following posting sections all work in a similar way:

  • youtube

Config settings

in guide

Your config folder allows you to specify a few advanced settings that we have't bothered to create controls for :-)

Open your config directory via HELP > CONFIG

The following config files can be created

nologs.txt This will stop the program logging.

do_not_cancel_failed_in_row.txt The search actions will stop if you fail to process a single item successfully in about 10 tries. It is assumed if it fails this many times in a row, something is wrong. Your account / the program. To avoid hammer the site's server and perhaps risking your account, the action will stop. If you don't want this safety check, turn it off. Not recommended

Reblog

in guide

../images/reblog.png

The reblog tab allows you to create reblog actions.

Standard Search Action Parameters

Random Pause:

Specify a minimum and maximum value, after actioning an item the action will pause for a random amount between the specified minimum and maximum values.

Max Actions / Max items:

The number of items to process within the action.

Fluctuate +-:

If you are repeating your action, you may not want to action on the the same number of items each action (avoiding footprints, so you can fluctuate the number of items to perform. If you specify 100 Max Actions and a Fluctuate value of 10. Then your action will random perform 90-110 items (100 +/- 10)

Processor

in guide

All actions are processed in the Processor / Processing tab

../images/processor.png

When an action is created, it is sent to the Processor (also referred to as the processing tab). The processing tab lists all actions you have created. In order to "run" your actions, you have to turn the Processor ON, to do this, click RUN.

NOTE:
If all your actions are marked as WAITING, your processor is NOT on. Click RUN.

When your actions are running, you can view real time logs of the action by double clicking the action row. To run more than a single action at any one time, you would need to increase the THREAD, one thread can processor one action. To process 5 actions simultaneously, set 5 threads.

.. TEASER_END
NOTE: If you have increased the threads and still you are only processing one action, it is probably because you have the safety mode option on "process one action per account at any one time". This stops you processing multiple actions for the same account at any one time (this could be a give away you are using a bot). This option can be turned on / of via the SETTINGS tab.

There are numerous options available if you right click the actions, but these are covered in the advanced processor section
