Abstract
The goal of the thesis is to simplify the everyday life of people by giving them a possibility to save time and make sharing screenshots an easy task. If a user wants to share a screenshot then he would traditionally have to first press the keyboard key “print screen”, then open some image editing software, paste it there, save the screenshot, open a web browser, enter some image hosting websites address, upload the image and then search the address of the screenshot. For a beginner computer user this kind of activity is complicated and time consuming. The program created in this thesis makes this process as easy as clicking a few buttons without even opening a web browser.
The solution is to create a Java application that reacts to a global key listener which in return takes a screenshot and uploads it to the server. After the image has been uploaded, a system notification bubble in the system tray returns the screenshot address. If the user clicks on the bubble then the address of the image is copied to the clipboard. In addition the user can go to the webpage, insert his username and password and see all the screenshots he has previously uploaded.
The available alternatives to this application are not free, contain advertisments or are complicated to use due to the number of extra features.
The system is written using Java, JavaFX, PHP, HTML and CSS.
