new icon uploader
HEY Y'ALL!! not really capping related, but i'm posting this here so more eyes see it.

the icon uploaders haven't been working for a lil bit, but i modified the old .bat file that's been floating around for eternity and i got it to work with ij again. unfortunately, it's only for PC users. (i don't have a mac and i'm not proficient enough in curl to adapt the code! sorry!)

anyway, you can download it here.

if you're a windows 8 user look here on how to install curl.

instructions:
1. place the .bat file in the same file as your icons you want to upload.
2. double click it and fill in your login credentials. if it's not uploading, try running it as administrator.
3. DO NOT PUT IT WITH THE OLD CURL.EXE FILE WE USED TO USE! it'll stop it from working & i figured that out after five hours of banging my head against a wall 💀 use the .bat file and only the .bat file. (after it finishes uploading, you can delete the login.html and upload.html files that it creates if you want. they don't do anything important so you don't have to hang on to them.)
4. enjoy your tiny faces of celebrities!!!

disclaimer: i'm not a programmer and i learned just enough curl this afternoon (i.e. did a bunch of googling) to figure out how to fix it. if you run into problems or it breaks in the future, i can try to help but i probably dunno what's going on either!!! i'm just releasing this into the wild in case other people find it helpful, but i can't guarantee its longevity.

feel free to modify it or reupload it and spread it around. i don't care about credit and you can rename the file to whatever you want.

Your reply actually has perfect timing, because I figured it out!

Turns out, to use the https/secure connection with curl, you need to have certificates. I tried just dropping them in the same directory as the bat file, but that doesn't work, so I had to go through the whole ordeal of installing it to Windows.

For anyone else on Windows 8 or an outdated Windows 10, here's how to do the thing: click here. Ignore all the stuff about testing zendesk, obviously, but for whatever reason that's the first place I found a tutorial.

Would have never gone down that rabbit hole and found the solution if not for you - and of course it wouldn't work without your .bat file - so thanks again!
