I did a little drawing. Now, I'm no Leonardo, so it was a demo drawing rather than anything to get excited about. Just something to try out the sketch programme.

And the output was there in my 'picture' folder. So I thought I'd upload it via pixelpipe.

And there I hit a snag. Sketch outputs in .png. The image programme declines to add metadata (tags) to .png files. And pixelpipe won't know where to send it without the @tumblr tag.

Now, this is not the end of the world. I'm quite sure the internet is not greatly impoverished for being deprived of my doodle of a teddy face. But I could see it being a nuisance for someone with real drawing skills.

I'm looking for a solution: neither xournal files nor sketch files can accept tags and be sent via pixelpipe.

Can anyone suggest anything? Is this something that will be solved by the sharing app (I've forgotten its name) when it reaches extras?

Xournal in extras-devel supports Sharing.

Use Pixelpipe sharing plugin to share to services that support PDFs or Evernote sharing plugin and you're done.

Petrovich is already in Extras: http://maemo.org/downloads/product/Maemo5/petrovich/

It does not do tagging of the files, unfortunately. (Same situation with that as the Sharing dialog: Nokia refuses to release the necessary files required for developers to utilize the the Tagging dialog. So, with libsharingdialog, I had to hack around and figure out the necessary code required for developers to utilize the dialog.)

Hmmmm, interesting.. maybe an option to save as JPEG would be easier to implement..

You can upload to Tumblr from Pixelpipe without the @tumblr routing tag by setting Tumbr as a default upload at Pixelpipe. You can also set @tumblr in the N900 tag cache and upload to Tumblr by just touching the tag.

Petrovich also seems to be an alternative since they allow for sharing of any type of file from the N900 file system and we support upload of just about any type of file.

I took a screen shot. It meant I got the black bits round the outside, but it saved the doodle in jpg where I could tag it.

Looking down the road, it might be handy to be able to save sketch in jpg so you can tag it. For people who are actually good at drawing and all.

Sketch is the MS Paint equivalent of Maemo. It has never seen any feature updates since 2005.
