How to Use

Follow these instructions.

Download

The code has been released under GPL 2.0.

Why buy if source code is free?

PBaseUpload is written in Perl and being a strong supporter of Free Software, I have released the source code under GPL. While Perl is installed in almost all Linux installation, you will need to install it separately in Windows. Thus, in order to just run this script you will have to download and install a very large binary. Furthermore, the Perl script does not by itself provide the 'Send to PBase' right-click convenience. The PBaseUpload binary solves all these inconveniences.

Please also note that official support is provided only to those who have bought the binary.

Features that may be added

Ability to create the new gallery as non-public
Proxy support

Disclaimer

This is a personal project of mine. This software is not supported or endorsed by PBase.com. If you have bought the software, I will help you as much as I can. However I do not accept any responsibility of any data loss or any other problems that might occur due to the direct or indirect use of this software.

Please note that due to personal constrains, I can provide only very limited support for those who haven't bought the binary but instead is trying to get the Perl code to work.

None of the information that you send or store using this application will be sent to me or anyone else other than the PBase.com site.
