Export To Twitter (X)¶

This tool allows the user to upload photos to the Twitter (now known as X) social network.

Twitter is an online social media and social networking service. Users can send, and respond publicly or privately to, texts, images and videos known as tweets. Publication is publicly visible by default, but senders can restrict message delivery to only their followers. Twitter supports a photo-sharing service that enables users to upload a photo and attach it to a tweet.

Lo strumento può essere usato per caricare e twittare una selezione di immagini dalle tue raccolte al server remoto di Twitter tramite Internet.

When accessing the tool for the first time from the Export ‣ Export to Twitter menu entry, you are taken through the process of obtaining a token which is used for authentication purposes. The following dialog will popup and a browser window will be launched so you can log in to Twitter:

By default, the tool proposes to export the currently selected items from the icon-view. The + Photos button can be used to append more items to the list.

If the Resize photos before uploading option is selected, the photos will be resized before transferring to Twitter. The values will be read from the JPEG quality and Maximum Dimension settings, which can be used to adjust the maximum height and the compression. The width calculation will be done so as to maintain the aspect ratio.
