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.
