           Summary: Request for export plugin for Costco.ca
           Product: kipiplugins
           Version: 1.7.0
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kde-imaging at kde.org
        ReportedBy: linuxguy123 at gmail.com


Version:           1.7.0 (using KDE 4.6.0) 
OS:                Linux

Digikam rocks.   Its changed the way I manage and use my images.

Now that my images are organized, people want more prints.   I use my local
Costco.ca store for my printing needs.   For those that haven't tried
them, I suggest you do as the quality and price are both good.

Its painful to get prints done at Costco.ca.  

Uploading the images at the store is painful because the software they run on
their photo computers is pretty slow and very primitive.

And their online uploading tools either don't work or are very slow to use with
anything more than a few images.

How hard would it be to write an uploader for Costco ?  How does all the
security stuff work and what is the protocol behind doing it ?

I use the Picassa uploader all the time and a) it works great and b) it
saves me a lot of time.  It would be great if we could have the same capability
for Costco.

Thanks

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Create an account at Costco.ca
Try loading images to the account.

Actual Results:  
Selecting images is a slow process on the Costco.ca site.   No way to filter
files.  Paths get lost and have to be browsed in time after time.  Preview
images are not show for jpegs. 

Expected Results:  
Uploads work, but they are a pain.

Note:  I am not sure that Costco USA uses the same interface as Costco.ca
(Canada).  I am requesting an uploader for Costco.ca
