Chris Bartels (ID: 000000d75ab9c83f) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 12/12/2016 Good if you only upload single images at a time. It won't generate a single URL for a multiple image upload/selection the way the imgur website does. This simply displays each image's thumbnail & you have to click each one to get their individual URLs. So when I have to do a multi-selection with a single URL for them all I still have to open the whole imgur website & use their uploader. Maybe the author can fix this in a future release, would be nice to not ever have to wait for the whole imgur page to load each time I have a screenshot to upload.
