    Is there a way to have the direct link to the image copied to the clipboard, rather than the one leading to the page with options and links.

    I.E. I want this page:
    http://i.imgur.com/ohk07Zb.png

    instead of this one:
    http://imgur.com/ohk07Zb

      That’s already the case, however imgur seems to redirect to the full page the 1st time for some reason, hadn’t seen this behaviour before.

        Do you think you can modify that behaviour or is that only possible serverside?

        • admin
          July 30th, 2014 at 15:01 | #4

          It’s server-side, but I don’t think it’s intended, must be some bug on their end.

        Nevermind, I guess you’re saying this behaviour is unique.
        I guess I’ll just have to live with it.
        Great work on the program though, I love it.

      Actually I noticed just now that it actually copies the correct link, but I’m getting redirected to the other page anyways. It seems to work if I paste the url into my browser a second time or any number of times afterwards. I just get to the page with tools on the first shot.

    Beta 3.7 (x64): After entering the pin code program shows “Login succesful” and error “‘false’ is not a valid integer value” :(

      Oh, and “Account” in main window doesn’t update after login, but after restarting program it shows actual login account.

        a simple restart of the app should fix that

        does that happen everytime or just once?

          It happens every time I try to login. :)

            Close the app then delete “settings.xml” in C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\MyImgur

            Deleted it. Error still appears on login. :)
            (Well, if I log on one time, after error it saves my login (and it appears after restart) and I don’t need to log in again => no error :) )

    After updating myimgur won’t load anymore (Win7). There is an icon in taskbar but it won’t interact (click, right-click). The window never comes up. Uninstall Re-Install did not fix.

    Software crashes after entering the pin and clicking “ok” button. Also crashes when you try to upload an image. No error shown in both situations.

      try 32bit portable. I’m preparing a major update for today or tomorrow with these issues hopefully fixed and some new features/major speed up.

  6. July 27th, 2014 at 11:38 | #22

    i installed 3.62 version but it doesn’t open.

    i’ve now tried all the new versions, portable and installers, x32 and x64. all of them crash on start, the x32 version gives you a popup with the error message. so i’m just wondering if its possible to download the previous version somehow? the previous version had problems but it at least worked and let me upload screenshots to my account.

    Using v3.62 x64 and it starts up, works fine, all up until I try and login. Try and login, and the program stops responding after a moment, and then closes itself. Not sure if this is a problem that is occurring because I updated and it’s using old data (I fully uninstalled and reinstalled, still does it), or what, but it makes it unusable in terms of uploading to my actual account.

  9. July 26th, 2014 at 23:55 | #28

    it doest open.

        I’m having the same trouble, it’s the latest version, 3.62

        Click on the program but the main window never pops up, it just shows the little icon at the bottom right of the taskbar but that’s it

    damn this app is making my life a lot easier, its really awesome.
    but i’ve been having some issues. these issues doesn’t just happen every now and then, this happens every time.

    so every time i start up the app i get this
    http://i.imgur.com/cy7Vxwu.png

    and every time i try to create a new folder or anything else with folders i get this
    http://i.imgur.com/cy7Vxwu.png

    is it just me getting these issues or is this a temporary problem with the beta?
    other than that, thnx for an awesome app. before i found this i was using the print screen key, pasting in a bmp, saving it as png and uploading manually on imgur which took its time, but with this either one press and select what you want or just a key press to a whole window and i get the adress in my clipboard. amazing.

      sadly this has been happening for more than a month now. i posted about it in the imgur api group but so far with no resolution: https://groups.google.com/forum/m/?hl=en#!topic/imgur/J0rgAqq-Lo8

      the issue is mostly with account calls, anon upload seems to work better.

      • JimZiii
        July 21st, 2014 at 00:20 | #35

        ok, so it’ll probably be fixed in the next version. maybe new code and commands on imgur site so the app can’t communicate with the site fully.
        just wanted to make sure that it wasn’t just me having this issue or if it was something i could do about it.
        thnx

          The app is fine, it’s an issue at the imgur servers.

    Is it possible to upload files to an album without having the filename put in the description field on imgur?

        It didn’t do this before. Something changed in the last year. Not sure if it’s something in myimgur or on the website.

  12. June 7th, 2014 at 23:33 | #40

    Portable version is now writing to AppData (~\AppData\Roaming\MyImgur).

    First time I ran MyImgur 3.61 Beta Drag+Drop in main window worked, but now I can’t get it to work, but if I drop pic on MyImgur shortcut the pic is uploaded. I’m running Windows 8.1 on a 64-bit PC so how can I get Drag+Drop to work again? I have used 32+64 Portable + MyImgur361 x64.exe versions. Please help me to get Drag+Drop to work in main window again.

    I’ve been looking for an alternative to Puush and its super-handy software, and this software seems to be just the thing I’m looking for since I thought I’d give Imgur a try, but I cannot log in whatsoever. When I click “Login,” it opens a web page where it gives me a PIN to enter into the application. After I enter the PIN, I get an error notification in my system tray saying “Imgur request failed. Error during “Initial Login.” 200: OK-OK.” I also get an error window saying “Invalid pointer operation.”

    Here’s a GIF of my troubles: http://i.imgur.com/w1sJEn8.gif

    I am using 3.6 Beta on Windows Vista SP2 32-bit and I downloaded the 32-bit installer. Please respond because this program seems like it would be very useful and awesome if I could only figure out how to get it to work properly on my machine.

      Does it always fail with that same message? The Imgur API isn’t working very well at the moment, but the error you describe is a bit different:

        I just tried it several more times and yes it keeps failing with the same message over and over again. What I got from that thread is that it fails for that person sometimes and not others, whereas for me it fails every time.

        I have found out what is causing MyImgur not to sign in; it’s this program called Networx which I have been using to keep track of my data usage. I must turn it off to use MyImgur, which kinda sucks because I don’t like having to turn off a program that help me keep track of data usage. I have no idea why or how Networx was interfering with MyImgur.

        Anyway, as others have already stated, this program won’t upload GIFs; it gives me the error box “JPEG Error #53″ whenever I try. If this happens, it won’t upload any other pics until I restart the app. Also, if I copy a picture file to my clipboard, it won’t let me upload via the “paste from clipboard” feature.

    The option to log in is missing. Next to account is just shows -Not logged in-, then when I add an image it changes to “free.” So it doesn’t upload to my actual account. Using version 3.6 Thanks.

      Log in option is in the settings window.

    Anyway you could add a checkbox that makes the thing stay minimized and not pop up every time I ->send to imgur, or take a screen capture?

    • admin
      May 18th, 2014 at 02:57 | #52

      Restart it and try again, drag&drop can bug if the app is run as admin (by default from the installer).

    Stopped working recently, says “API error 401, re-login may be needed”. I am logged in to imgur.
