Typora is a very useful markdown editor, and now we have a free image uploader for Typora using the "KCos Project", which is invented by ourselves.
It is free to use this upload tool because we want more people to know us.
But, do not use this free version for any business purpose, which cannot guarantee your full support and data security.
KCos is using high quality CDN provided by the AliCloud. That can ensure a low latency wherever you are.
This upload tool is built for many popular platforms statically, which means that you can use it without any external libraries. (That's why the binary file seems large) Most of the platforms are supported by Dotnet Runtime, except Apple Devices.
So, in this project, you can find out the Dotnet version in the Dotnet Folder. By the way, a pure Swift implementation is also provided in the Swift Folder.
Supported platforms are as follows:
| Platform | Supporting | Build Pass |
|---|---|---|
| Early Windows(Like 8.1, 7, Vista, XP) | Nope | Nope |
| any 32 bit platforms(Like arm v7, x86) | Nope | Nope |
| Early macOS(before 11) | Nope | Nope. It does not support Swift byte code. |
| macOS(after 11) x64 arch | Yes | Yes |
| macOS Apple Silicon | Yes | Yes |
| many-linux-arm64 | Yes | Yes |
| many-linux-x64 | Yes | Yes |
| Modern Windows(10 or later) x64 arch | Yes | Yes |
| Windows 10 on arm | Nope | Does not support x64 simulation. |
| Windows 11 arm64 arch | Yes | Yes, it is native build, not the x64 translation. |
| Windows Server x64 | Yes | Yes |
Download the binary file accroding to your system version.
Put it into your C:/Programe Files/KCos/ folder. If you don't have this folder, create a new one.
Then, add this path to your system PATH environment variable:
Then, rename your binary file like this(remove the arch-bits suffix):
