Thanks for the warm welcome...
All of you mentioned to have a unique export plugin for this. I'm
thinking the same way, one plugin which can handle different
webservices.
Especially for this plugin, it would be really easy to change the
flickr export plugin to serve both services (flickr and 23hq). The only
thing to add is a combo box to choose which service you like.
Corresponding to this choice, the plugin must connect to the given
service.
I will post here the changes to the flickr-plugin, it's a huge patch as
text, but it's not that difficult at all, just changing the URLs:

That's all. Just chaning the url. Now you can upload the photos to
23hq. It's completely the same workflow as with flickr, everything
worked here. I haven't coded with Qt4 before otherwise I had posted a
patch for the combo box and necessary changes, but I think this is very
easy to add. If it isn't requested, then I will change the flickr
plugin to a 23hq plugin, change the name of the classes and library and
will post it here as a new plugin.
So, what do you think about integrate it into the flickr export plugin
as an alternative option?? I would prefer it and I'm willing to help
out with the plugin, after I have read a little bit about Qt4 (which
isn't much complicated, from what I have read now), if help is wanted.
C++ experience are here from my side.
Cheers,
Daniel
