tools: icon uploader

I'm joining the masses of people not having Journalwatcher not work for them.

I downloaded the insanejournal uploader and using the instructions here I went to turn of the UAC but I can't find it in the control panel. I' on Windows 7 if that helps.

I did try using the uploader without that but it didn't work either.

	I've used a version of it on Win7 (without touching User Account Control) successfully. I'm not sure if I used it on this PC, but I'll take a look and see what I have and put it somewhere for you. (Reply to this)

	If you actually want to turn it off, you won't find it simply under the Control Panel. http://www.mydigitallife.info/how-to-disable-and-turn-off-uac-in-windows-7/ (Reply to this) (Thread)

Try this:

Keyword your files so that they are all named keyword.png (or .jpg or .gif) then run the upl.bat file and log into your account.

There is DEFINITELY something up with uploading icons in general. It took me two tries to get all the icons uploaded. The first time it SAID it was uploading all of them, but then when I checked the first five and last five had, but the middle nine hadn't. So I deleted those from the folder and tried again.

Basically, just have all your icons in the same folder as those four files from the zip file, and go. Ping me on email or Twitter if you need help!

I ran this on Win7 just now to add more icons to Ade's journal, and didn't have to change any settings.

	Thank you! It seems to have worked - last time it went through really quickly which I think is why they didn't upload or something. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	When you run the upl.bat file, you should see a black window pop up and it'll write out a line for every single icon it uploads, so you can kind of watch it upload. Makes it easy to see that it's going. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, I saw that this time- last time I did that it went through them all really quickly and then just closed shrugs At least it worked this time though :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Just wanted to thank you for sharing, since I downloaded the uploader from your comment. :) It worked just fine on Windows Vista, in case anyone looking at this thread is curious. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
