VicunaUploader is an
open-source
desktop application written in
Java
, designed to upload files to Wikimedia Commons and other Wikimedia projects. It is
platform-independent
but requires a
Java virtual machine
to be installed on your computer (usually as part of a Java Runtime Environment).
VicunaUploader is a bit similar to
Commonist
but has some more functionality and different user interface. Among others:
- It saves metadata in session.xml file: it is possible to prepare files for upload off-line and you can manipulate it with other tools (see
IPTC to vicuna
for an example)
- It checks file-name conflicts before sending files to Commons
- It supports choice of categories (almost in the same way as the
Upload Wizard
does, and with semicolons rather than pipes)
- It supports geotagging (by simple one-click on a map window)
- It supports
chunked uploads
- It supports
batch
upload and can read the file descriptions from local files; however, each batch must have the same description. Select a txt file from Tools > Settings > Program > Advanced; add your files in the main screen; all files will now have the content of the text file as their description.
