    3.79 “fixes” issues with account uploads. Why not just use Windows?

    @admin

    It doesn’t start at all, so I just reinstalled v3.78. I installed with Playonlinux with the same settings as the other versions. I tried the portable version and it works fine but I’d rather use playonlinux. What functionality do I lose if I stick with 3.78? I haven’t noticed any difference so far.

    Because it still upload directly in the account but not in any album

    • admin
      February 15th, 2016 at 13:58 | #6

      You just need to select the album first and then upload in any way, and it should assign it to the album after the upload.

    Hi, I love this app, it’s wonderful, though, I thought it would have been a great feature being able to immediatly move the screeshot taken into a special album on my imgur account, is this already possible ? Am I missing it, because I see that you can select an album but it still doesn’t upload in it.

    Using that tool for over than year already, and lately I keep getting my images being uploaded on imgur and stuck on 99%, the message “Sending picture (137,40 KB)… name of file” remains in status bar of MyImgur forever. Sometimes it gets resolved if I logout, close MyImgur, open, login and retry.
    Before december 2015, it was happening usually when Imgur was down. But lately it happens no matter on Imgur being down. Please, tell me if it’s possible to fix somehow, this is the only screenshots tool I use and I would like to keep using it like before. Windows 7 user here.

      Been checking thoroughly, there’s nothing wrong with the code that could cause these issues, so it’s the imgur API messing up and generally timing out, it really sucks lately. I pushed out an update with a tooltip/statusbar message with the date when the current login expires as an extra check whether the login info should still be valid. No idea what else can be done, it’s up to imgur to improve things on their side.

    Continually receiving the “imgur request failed, re-auth recommended” message.

    I try to auth, and it says it’s worked but it won’t upload anything. I select the portion of the screen and then nothing happens.

    @admin
    Usually when this happens to me (seems to be a recent development) it’s plain old stuck like that. What seems to do the trick is to hit the “Refresh User Data” button as it will force it to log back into your account and pull through the API. This seems to get things running again, sometimes for just the one picture and sometimes for a good while.

    @admin
    Hello admin. First of all, thanks for making this program, it’s been a really useful one to me for quite a while now.

    Second, the person you’re replying to and few other people who have the same issues with wrong capture area being used than the one selected – I ran into this issue too and I’ve figured out it’s caused by the screen scaling of Windows 10: http://i.imgur.com/bUnmvl1.png
    If it’s set to 100%, the program works as it should, but if you set it higher than that, the program doesn’t take that into consideration and still perceives the screen as if the scaling is 100%.

    MyImgur frequently gives me the “imgur request failed, re-auth recommended” error. Actually, all of the time. It’s error 404. Is there anything *I* can do to fix it? Please, this is my favorite screenshot software, I’d hate to be forced to change it to some ad-infested alternative.

    • admin
      January 28th, 2016 at 19:16 | #21

      All I can do about it is have it automatically try to re-upload/whatever action failed. Imgur API has been awful for a while now, I don’t think they are too happy about 3rd party apps so not much resources are allocated to api calls I guess; look at their site, they even pulled off the list of apps 🙂 and their android app removed all functionality to manage your own pics etc. My guess is they are trying to slowly pull away from being a mainly upload/storage service into something akin to 9gag/social stuff.

    I think it was a problem with the skin, as the guy below mentioned. I deleted my settings.xml and DnD works again.

    One other thing, it seems to add multiple notification entries in the Notifications and Actions control panel (modern). I have around 50 there now.

    Hey @admin,

    I’ve been using MyImgur for a while, it’s an amazing tool.

    But I noticed it’s lacking https support. Could you add this? Instead of copying link to clipboard after upload, just change the link from http to https!

    Thanks a lot for MyImgur!

    About 10-15 % of my images are not uploaded well: the message in the ballon pops out and sais: error during uploading pic error :0, or request time error 404.
    Maybe you know how to fix that?

    Still not work with Networx.

    Samuel :
    I have found out what is causing MyImgur not to sign in; it’s this program called Networx which I have been using to keep track of my data usage. I must turn it off to use MyImgur, which kinda sucks because I don’t like having to turn off a program that help me keep track of data usage. I have no idea why or how Networx was interfering with MyImgur.

    hi again! thanks for implementing my previous suggestion 🙂 i found a very small bug: when you press the capture screen shortkey the first time after opening the program/changing a setting, you can’t cancel it with ESC (have to right click). after that it functions as normal. possibly the most minor bug in the world, but it’d be nice to see you fix it for whenever you have the next update planned

    Sorry I was not able to reply back to you till now I was busy moving and didn’t have internet access. I tried a few different things and I eventually found the problem to be with a program I use called Actual Multiple Monitors which gives a multi-monitor taskbar along with other features. But for some reason it seems to be messing with my second monitor region, but as long as I have it closed MyImgur works just like it should no problems at all. But thanks for your help!

    Hi, I’ve just started using this application and got a couple of questions to see if it fits my requirements.

    1) Images that fail. Does it retry the file until it is uploaded. If not, is there a record kept of the failed file so I can retry it later? The log tells me nothing as both the filename and comments sections are all blank.

    2) Will the programme keep the queue stored so, in the event that a restart is required or the app crashes, it can just carry on from the next file after the last successful upload. I noticed at some point the app just closed the queue window and I have no idea if the queue was successful or not. If the queue window also kept the failed upload shown that could be used to retry the uploads, or at least get a readout of them.

    These are quite important as trying to track dropped files is a massive annoyance with Imgur but would be a godsend if this app can save that hassle of tracking the dropped uploads. I really need a ‘fire and forget’ programme with the need to host many thousands of files, which makes staring at the progress indicator on Imgur’s website and noting the failed files extremely cumbersome and time consuming. If it can do those then it would be a very useful tool.

    • admin
      January 13th, 2015 at 06:00 | #67

      Hi, failed uploads leave no trace and no retry, that’s in my top to-do list at the moment for 3.8. Queue when exiting the app is not saved either; this part is a little more complicated, since the queue might contain not just files you dragged/selected, but also direct screen captures which are temporarily stored in the RAM.

    @KillerPoPTarT
    Can you try this: click the 3rd button which pops up all your windows/apps in live ~tiles, then select the desktop one and upload it. In my case, it results in all my 3 monitors captured in a single image, in the same order as I see in the settings.

  49. KillerPoPTarT
    December 28th, 2014 at 06:54 | #69

    @KillerPoPTarT
    I changed the number 2 monitor to the main monitor and that allowed me to take screenshots on that monitor but caused the same problem on the number 1 monitor. So it seems like it has something to do with not allowing capture monitors that are not the main display or it thinks both monitors are the main monitor since it only capture that monitor.
