Upload photos directly from the Windows Explorer
As a Windows-user - regardless whether you're using XP, Vista or Windows 7 - you can select images from the Explorer at any time with the Pixum ContextUpload and upload them to the Pixum inbox - it's that easy!
Here's how:
Download & installation of the software:
- Click on install ContextUpload (current version: 1.0.0)
- Confirm the possibly appearing external protocol request with "Execute program".
- After the installation the ContextUpload window automatically opens.
Uploading images from the Explorer
- Select one or more images in the Explorer.
- Click with the right (!) mouse key on one of the selected images.
- Select "Upload to Pixum" in the context menu.
- A window with a list, in which the selected images will be listed, will open.
- If you now click on "Upload", a window opens. In this window you can login to your Pixum account. Enter your email address and your email PIN here. Your PIN can be found in your personal "My Pixum"area> "My account" > "My personal data".
Please note: if you are not yet registered at Pixum, you can do so here (upper right corner) for free.
If you tick the box "Remember PIN for next time", the images will be uploaded directly to the Pixum inbox in future. - If you tick the box under the list of images "Always upload immediately", then you don't have to use the click on "Upload" any more; the upload transfer always starts immediately.
Please note:
- You can go to the Explorer while uploading and add more images. These will be uploaded immediately.
- You can also add images to the list, by "Drag'n Drop" from the Explorer to the list.
- To remove images from the list, you have to stop the current upload transfer, select an image and press the "Del"-key.
- If you click on "Delete list", all entries from the list will be deleted.
- To remove uploaded images from the list, select "&Clear transferred list" in the menu "Extras".
- In the menu "Extras" you can change the language from German to English (or vice versa).
- Only files (JPG format) with a minimal size of 50 Kilobyte (KB) and a maximum size of 50 Megabyte (MB) can be uploaded.
