This is a BIG deal my friends and I’m very excited because not only do we have this functionality, but we have it FIRST, before ANY proprietary software package. That’s right, the stash API was only announced last week and here I am giving you the keys to brand spanking new functionality right from within your favourite art creation applications!

Install deviantArt Stash Plugins for GIMP and Inkscape

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:doctormo/deviantart-plugins sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install gimp-plugin-dastash inkscape-extension-dastash

in GIMP, select Image > Publish to > deviantArt Stash

in Inkscape, select Extensions > Publish to > deviantArt

Once you authorize DeviantArt, you'll be able to select the image title, keywords, etc. Here's a screenshot using the GIMP plugin to publish a test image to DeviantArt:

da-submit "Art Title" /path/to/image.png





the extensions are not bug-free - report any bugs you may find @ Launchpad. In my test, when trying to use the extension for the first time, upon authenticating the extension froze but everything worked fine on a second try. Martin Owens also mentions that the Inkscape extension might display an error saying you're not authenticated and that you should ignore it. So
