In an effort to support my lazyness

If I could download this app, or run this script for me, that would be awesome. Great idea, Squid!

GIMMEH!

That's a sweet idea dude! Do you need some help testing it out?

once i polish it up I can pass it along, probably going to post a little mini tutorial or something explaining the steps etc. I didnt think people would care that much - maybe I will tweak it a bit so others can use it to pull images into their profiles too :)

Share and share alike man!! Great idea!

Nice! I am in when you get it up a running...

Let us know in general if this is something that you'd like to see as a feature in gamerDNA. It may be possible to offer that sort of automation...

DUDE
I have dreamed of such a thing. I love getting screens up on gamerDNA, and it can be a pain sometimes.

So do please let us know once you have it done!

@Wormy its actually running right now - just a simple php page that looks at my xfire images, and uploads them to gamerdna if anything new is uploaded - to try and not kill the servers by uploading all images i have on my xfire profile (and duplicates of the ones i all ready added) - i built it so the first time it runs it uploads only the latest image, and keeps that image in mind - then if the next time it runs there are 5 images in front of that image, it pushes those 5 images up to gamerdna - just isnt categorizing the image for the game, and its completely hard coded to be my account only etc - but officially its functional.
@onemorehour I was really just playing around with helix, thinking of some things that might be useful and I came up with this, if you wanted to make it a more officially supported tool or something integrated with the site itself - no complaints here :)

If you integrate it with the site, I hope I can turn it off separately from gameplay updates. I delete most of my XFire screenshots after I download them back to my computer. The only reason I take XFire screenshots at all is because it gets around the security restrictions at one of the internet cafes I use, where the USB ports are disabled but they let you run XFire in-game.

I'd be quite a lot more interested in a helix tool which works the other direction - uploads gDNA images to XFire.

@squidpunch is it pulling from xfire's website, or from the xfire screenshot dir on your hd ?

@Wormy it pulls from xfire, saves a local temp copy, pushes it to gamerdna, and deletes it - perhaps somewhat backwards, but since im running it on my web server, i dont have access to my local screenshots - also this guarantees it only pushes up the images that i have put on xfire - meaning i said to upload them, and possibly even pushed in my description (which i can then leverage when adding them to my DNA)

I thought it wasn't possible to upload images (yet anyway), but it's just the table of contents being outdated here. Anyway, this is a good idea, squidpunch. Go you! :)

Pulling from XFire as part of site integration would be possible (rather than pulling from your hard drive, which would require a client). And yeah, we'd definitely make it something you'd have to turn on as an option.

Just so long as it's a completely separate option. Too many options already turn multiple things on and off at once. For example, I can't decide whether I want my nudges as emails or as alerts. Either I get both, or neither.
