Getting it to work

2 Parts:

  1. Install
  2. OAuth2 configuration

Install

I am going to make this easier soon... Maybe. Happy for PRs

Windows

Requires manual install.

  1. Put in a folder that is preferably not your Downloads folder.
  2. In Windows put a shortcut to where ever you have put the exe in your "Send to" folder. https://www.pcmag.com/how-to/how-to-customize-the-send-to-menu-in-windows

Linux

  1. Install, if you can use the deb, apk or rpm.

Or

  1. Install the binary yourself somewhere on your system.
  2. Create a .desktop file in the correct location: ~/.local/share/kservices5/ServiceMenus/send-to-google-photos.desktop (or /usr/share/kservices5/ServiceMenus) With the contents:
    [Desktop Entry]
    Comment[en_AU]=
    Comment=
    Exec=$$$UPDATE PATH HERE$$$$
    GenericName[en_AU]=
    GenericName=
    Icon=kphotoalbum
    Name[en_AU]=Send To Google Photos
    Name=Send To Google Photos
    NoDisplay=false
    Path=
    StartupNotify=true
    Terminal=false
    TerminalOptions=
    Type=Application
    X-DBUS-ServiceName=
    X-DBUS-StartupType=none
    X-KDE-SubstituteUID=false
    X-KDE-Username=
    X-DFM-MenuTypes=MultiFile;MultiFileDirs;
    Actions=sendToGP;
    ServiceTypes=KonqPopupMenu/Plugin
    Type=Service
    MimeType=image/jpeg;image/png;image/svg+xml;image/svg+xml-compressed;image/bmp;image/webp;image/tiff;
    X-KDE-Priority=TopLevel
    
    [Desktop Action sendToGP]
    Name=Send to google photos
    Exec=$$$UPDATE PATH HERE$$$$ %F
    Icon=kphotoalbum
    
    

Remember to replace $$$UPDATE PATH HERE$$$$ with the fully qualified file path

Issues

There are a couple. Mostly should relate to: https://bitbucket.org/rj/goey/src/master/ or the way you install it.
