For those that have access to a FTP site for placing images I have a tool that I have been modifying from proprietary code that may help some of us here.
I find it hard at times to convey to readers that simply want to see something with out going through the pains of loading up spice, or what ever programs for a clean view of a schematic.
I know many of you already know how to get images to your FTP site for others to see, however, it is not always a simple click to do so. A number of steps are needed to perform this.
So what I am doing is stripping out some proprietary code from a program and adding specific code to it, just for this purpose.
As it stands now, I can auto upload schematics from various programs that are able to place a view of their work on the clipboard with a single operation of that program. In other words, what ever it takes for the program you use to get the image on the clip board, will trigger a auto upload to your site you have preselected with out you doing any more.
This will work exactly like a "Paste Bin" operation does, but it'll be for posting images of your work instead.
The app sits on your task bar out of the way and you can configure it to not auto upload right away if you wish, which will allow you to do other things to it if you need before it goes.
One of the items on the list, which has been a problem here is to be able to create a symbol type of text message where one can actually create a real calculus/algebra formula using all of the familiar symbols and post it as a simple image to your FTP site. The editing of this will most likely be in a RTL (Rich Text Format) editor where I can generate a image from that to be uploaded.
The uploads will have auto increment numbers and you should be able to back reference them locally on your PC.
The resulting upload will generate a text URL link that will be sitting on your clip board where you can simply paste it in a text base message board, like am now doing, for others to quickly click and see the link.
What are your thoughts on this so far?
P.S. I will soon start using this as an example, I don't care if no one wants to use it or not. It will at least give me some satisfaction :)
