Gimp and Inkscape plugins to publish directly to deviantart
May 26
Finally someone is concerned about the integration of our favorite applications Deviantart for design with free software. With these plugins you can publish directly to our work to this famous social network.
The installation method I explain in this post is only compatible for versions 11.04, 10.10 and 10.04 of Ubuntu.
You must open a terminal, add the repository and install the required packages.
$ Sudo apt-add-repository ppa: doctormo / deviantart-plugins
$ Sudo apt-get update
$ Sudo apt-get install gimp-plugin-dastash inkscape-extension-dastash
And ready. If you have Gimp or Inkscape open is recommended to restart.
How to use them?
In Gimp, select Menu - Picture - Publish a - Deviantart
In Inkscape, Menu Extensions-Publish a - Deviantart
Note: I did tests on Ubuntu 10.10 and the Inkscape version had some problems, please report your experiences with these plugins.
