google-photos-uploader

This extension just provides google-photos-uploader: Upload image and replace command.

The command will do all the step shown below:

1. extract img path from your markdown text
2. upload to Google Photos
3. replace img path to Google Photos published url

CAUTION!

Currently, to get img url, we are using baseUrl that is valid only for 60 minutes. DO NOT USE THIS PLUGIN UNTIL THIS BUG IS TO BE FIXED.

How to use

Run command

Open command palet(Ctrl+Shift+P), find google-photos-uploader: Upload image and replace command and execute.

(OAuth)

This plugin sometimes request you OAuth Authentication.

In this case, default browser will be started.

1. Select Google acount and login
   
2. Authorize these parmissions
   
   
3. Authorize these parmissions again!(I don't know why authorize phase are duplicated)
   
4. Copy auth token(DO NOT TELL THIS TO OTHER PEOPLE)
   
5. Go back to vscode. Then, paste auto token.
   
   

Select Album

Because of Google Photos API limitation, albums you can add photos must be created by this plugin.

So, you have 3 choices to upload images.

1. I don't want to add photos to albums: not tested
2. create a new album
3. select album already created by this plugin

When you chose create a new album, you need to specify the new album name.

Please wait for seconds

On this phase, this plugin executes below:

1. extract image path
2. upload image (depend on the total image size and your traffic speed, showing progress info)
3. register images to the album
4. get published image URL
5. replace image path to the URL

Known Issue

Image syntax written in code blocks in lists will also be replaced due to markdown parse bug in markdown_img_url_editor.
