I am looking for a program that I can set up and point to where I store my photos to automatically upload new photos I put there. I have poked around the Hacks and Apps and have tried a few out, but I have not been able to find one I really like or does what I want. Any recommendations?

I'd try passing the API key again when trying to list the albums and see what happens. – Samir Jun 3 '12 at 15:50

There's a script called smugup.sh. The site that hosts it is down, but I got it from web.archive.org. Naturally, web.archive.org is now failing to pull it, so here's the script as a gist. If nothing else, it might help you create an uploader of your own.

There's also a version called smugup.py. It is newer but hasn't been updated, so you are still on your own.

That is much closer to what I am looking for. – jschoen Jan 26 '12 at 19:10
I'm fussing with a "automagically convert from raw to jpeg and upload to smugmug" script. I'm not happy with it yet, but it's why I know this area :-) – tedder42 Jan 26 '12 at 20:05
If you are Adobe Lightroom users, there is a plugin to upload directly to Smugmug, it also gives you some control over galltery settings. – ziuek Jan 27 '12 at 8:38

I've had a good experience with sm-photo-tool to batch upload photos to smugmug from Linux. I do not have my system setup to automatically upload new photos, but the Python code in sm-photo-tool is pretty flexible and if you're comfortable coding Python (or cron+bash) you should have all the building blocks you need.

I think smugbatch might also be a good base to build from, but I don't have as much experience with that.

If nothing else I may use it as a reference to build something closer to what I want. Thanks, for the links. – jschoen Jan 27 '12 at 13:47

Lightroom has a publishing module that makes it dirt simple to publish your images to folders of your choice on Smugmug, and will maintain the organization, including republish when you edit images. Its slick

Jeffery Freidl offers a few additional features in his version, which I recommend.

If you are on Windows, StarExplorer is the best.

Mac or PC ? If On a mac could you not configure an Automater Script to run MacDaddy or similar app ?

I have Mac Laptops, but I use a file server that runs Linux to store all my images. So ideally I would have something there that would just run say every night or once a week to look for new stuff. With the laptops there is no telling when it will be on or not. MacDaddy is a nice app though, I have used it a few times. – jschoen Jan 26 '12 at 18:10
I like MacDaddy but it recently started crashing on my mac. Anyone else notice issues with it? – quark Jan 29 '12 at 6:02
