Configuration

Default system configuration storied in the /etc/heytiler directory. But for user defined changes i recommend to copy /etc/heytiler folder in user $HOME/.config/heytiler directory

cp -R /etc/heytiler ~/.config/heyteiler

Here you find: - heyteiler.conf - main configuration file - targets - folder with targets configuration files

Choises

Some menus has choises in header. For change values in them use rofi keybinds: Alt+1, Alt+2, Alt+3

Targets

Targets is main feature of heyteiler. In config directory, you may find targets folder. Every file in this folder describe one target. You may change exist target or create your own just copy one of existing. See targets files for more options

Supported target_type: 'local', 'scp', 'imgur', 'clipboard' - Images: local, clipboard, scp, s3, imgur - Video: local, scp, s3 - Text: s3, scp, ix.io

imgur and ix.io target types worked without any additional settings. So, they haven't special file. But if you want to change local directory for backups you may copy local target and set target_type=imgur.

cd ~/.config/heyteiler/targets
cp local my_custom_imgur
sed -i 's/target_type=.*/target_type=imgur/' my_custom_imgur
# Change imgur backup directory
sed -i 's/Screenshots/Imgur/' my_custom_imgur

Local target

DONT REMOVE LOCAL TARGET

local target is a special target which heyteiler use for saving files before upload on the resource. So even if you use network resource as a target (ex: imgur or scp) your file will be available in future in local target folders or in history tab.

Also local target used for openning files from history.
