My random notes about the stuff I've done
Command-line sharing for Harmattan
I use IRC and I want to be able to share photos there easily. For n900 I had implemented a sharing plugin and that worked nicely. When I got the n950 I of course wanted to do the same with that but it turned out to be a difficult task.
I started to implement webupload and SSO plugins but I never got them to work. The biggest show stopper was lacking documentation for the SSO part. Finally Mika Suonpää pointed me to Share UI plugins and now, only a few days later, I have the first version of it working for n950 :)
For some reason I don’t get my icons visible, they are always shown as a red square. All hints about that are most welcome. As is testing and feedback of the plugin. The plugin settings are in Settings -> Applications -> Command-line Share, and from there you need to enable the plugin and set the command to be run. After that the sharing plugin is visible in the Gallery -> share.
The source code can be found here and the corresponding forum thread here.

Nice one! Thanks for sharing :) About the icon: Did you try to use one of the built-in icons (e.g. the Bluetooth icon)? Does that work?

I started with an email example and IIRC I did see that one correctly. Somehow this reminds me about GTK time where one was supposed to run gtk-update-icon-cache or otherwise the icons wouldn’t be found from the cache.

Hi Tuomas,
Working on a little sharing app as well. Actually your code helped me a lot with the C++ stuff relating to Share UI, thanks for that :) Having same red box with icon, so if you managed to solve it would be cool to know how.
My ‘Sharetus’ app is hosted at github (https://github.com/jaywink/sharetus) if you’re interested. It adds itself to Share UI and basically enables web based sharing to many popular services. Limited list there at the moment since not nearly ready for release yet.
Br,

Nice to hear that my code helped someone :)
I haven’t really tried to fix the icon issue yet. I was hoping to get a bit more hints about what might have gone wrong but since I didn’t, I need to retry fixing it at some point.
