    Ksnapshot/Kipi plugin photo uploads

    Hello,
    I am having some problems uploading photos to the internet through the Kipi-plugin in Ksnapshot.

    A.) If I decide to use the "Send to..." button in Ksnapshot, I am presented with the choice of plugins. Then I choose Imgur and I see this dialog, which brings the issues presented below:

    There are several problems with this:
    1.) There is no way of renaming the file. By default, it gets the name of the screenshot previously created with Ksnapshot plus a number.
    2.) When done uploading, a link to the picture is shown. However, it never appears online in my Imgur account - I can only access the uploaded image on Imgur through this one link. If I discard the dialog, that means the link and the picture are gone for good.
    3.) I remember setting up my Imgur account in this plugin, but now I don't see a way to change it or just log out (also for verifying which account that image actually goes to after I uploaded it).

    B.) If I just use the "save as.."- button, of course I do get to pick a file name, But then there's no way to use the Kipi plugin for the upload: I have to open the browser, go to imgur.com and upload there, i.e. you can either pick a file name or use the plugin, not both.
    What are other applications that make use of these plugins? The Right-click-menu on an image file in Dolphin file manager does not contain the "Send to..."-option.

    C.) Ksnapshot itself has a bug: If I want to make a snapshot of a "window under the pointer", it always looks like this:

    well ........... what I do is ,,,,, take my screen shot and "save as" naming if I want or not ........ then go to the place you told it to "save to" and click the image , this will open it in Gwenview (by default unless you have changed the file association) Gwenview uses the kipi-plugins as well



    it seams as though the picasa plugin has more options .
