### The Client

I created a desktop client for users who want the convenience to share (parts of) their desktop with just the press of a key. You can check out the client in action here. The client will also zip files for you automatically when you try to upload multiple files at once, just to save you those valueable seconds!

## Using PixelDrain

I bet you're very excited to start using it! You can download it from here, but there are some important things you need to know before you start using it:

- PixelDrain requires a Java Runtime Environment of at least version 1.8 to be installed. If you're using Ubuntu you can get it from here. If you're using somtehing else you can download it from oracle.
- You should know that this is a very early build of the client, any bugs or issues you encounter should be reported to me, you can reach me on reddit.
- The settings panel has no functionality yet, it's just there to show what it will look like when it's finished.
- The maximum upload size is 50 MB, any bigger files will be rejected.
- There is no installer yet, just put it in some directory and run PixelDrain2.jar to start. The lib folder has to be in the same directory!
- During the first run it will install itself in your system's config directory, under Linux that is "~/.config/PixelDrain/".
- From my limited testing on Windows I noticed that screenshot thumbnails do not correctly show up under Windows. I might fix that soon, but it's not currently a priority.

Download PixelDrain now.
