Request: Imgur Account Support about budgie-screenshot-applet HOT 3 CLOSED

@cybre if you want, I should be able to implement this and send a PR. Was wondering if you had any preferences regarding how it should be implemented; simplest would probably be to attach a new settings UI to the current Imgur Provider to store the credentials.

I think the only tricky part is getting the user's access token from Imgur.

@Gnat008 correct. Take a look at the S/FTP provider for the settings UI.
And yeah, that is indeed the tricky part.

@cybre My current idea is to have a button in the Imgur settings page that the user clicks, which calls out to the Imgur API endpoint to generate the needed tokens, and storing those in non-editable fields in the same settings page.

Currently it looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/Yl6mhcp.png

Only thing is that access tokens expire after one month, after which you can use the refresh token to get a new one. So that has to be handled.
