Hey I love your work. I wanted to upload pictures and caption to be retreated from a .txt file
For instance upload random picture with name xxx.jpg get caption from file name xxx.txt
then next random pic is xxz.jpg and next caption get from xxz.txt

You get what I am saying? Thanks would love if you could help me

Adding a new photo to the folder when all photos have been uploaded several times leads to consecutive reposts of the new picture.

This can be fixed by requiring a minimal time after which the image is reposted. This can easily be done by looking at uploaded.txt which is ordered.

Wow, your tool was exactly what I was working for!

I only miss 2 features, please tell me that you can add those 👍

• extract date from EXIF data, like this no need to define date manually in the filename
• extract GPS position from EXIF data and get place via google places API, like this no need to define in the filename.

If this would work that filename would not be relevant anymore.

Thanks

ATM we depend on /tmp/ to exist, this will not work for Windows.

can you help me on the above error please ?

I have to delete config folder every time to circumvent this error. Python 3.8, no warnings for urllib3 or other packages. Console output:

can I set the bot to automatically repost best pics from selected profiles ?

Hi,

All the infos are printing duplicated in my screen. For example:
" 2018-12-13 00:08:59,811 - INFO - Instabot Started
2018-12-13 00:08:59,811 INFO Instabot Started "

How can I fix that?
