We’ve added new functionality that allows you to pipe your media to individual pipes and define groups destinations by way of “routing tag(s)” contained in the post.
Here’s a brief overview of the functionality we provide for defining and managing your Pipes below
The My Pipes page is a simple interface for managing your destinations, anything listed as a default will be included every time you upload unless you’ve defined a Routing tag (see below). One nice feature is the ability to temporarily disable a default destination and not have to authenticate again.
To setup the ability to send to an individual pipe or group of destinations simply select ‘Change Settings’ from the ‘Add Pipes’ page. From here you can set a unique ‘Display name’ for your destination as well as define ‘Routing tag(s)’.
Basically you can define a tag with @Routing tag to your upload and have that media delivered to any destination with the same Routing tag. It’s actually really easy, just keep these rules in mind.
- Including a Routing tag will override your default destinations and only deliver to destinations with the included routing tag(s).
-Routing tags do not currently work with email uploads however are supported with our other desktop and mobile upload solutions
- Routing tags don’t need to be unique, and you can add multiple short names to create groups of accounts, just separate each with a comma.
Example setting up Routing Tags under My Pipes:
Pipe 1 Routing tag @: facebook,personal,all
Pipe 2 Routing tag @: flickr,public,all
Add the keyword @personal or @facebook and it will be sent to Pipe 1, add the keyword @all and it will be sent through both pipes.
Nice idea. Very useful for those of us who want granularity where we direct our photos instead of just scattershot everywhere.
This is truly a great concept – but I am not getting it to work with Picasa 3.0. Am I missing something?
Seems to work at leasti in iPhone when you add @ sign in front of the tag name. Like: @tag

how bout being able to route media uploads to specific albums or locations? that would be a nice feature? also listing the albums for a certain pipe and selecting where the photo goes in that pipe would be nice too.

Just a fantastic dialogue. Simply brilliant, nearly all of you! Thank you for this.
How do you add the routing tag to your upload? When I choose the pixelpipe option on my phone it just sends to all my defaults. Where can I specify a routing tag?
If it makes a difference, I have a s60v5 device (nokia x6)
It sounds like you’re using our old Share Online plug-in, to bring up the dialog to set the Title, Description & tags you can use the mail icon or there’s an upload dialog under options. If you click the upload icon with the arrow pointing up Share Online skips the option to add a Title & just uploads.
You should really upgrade to using our native uploader, you can pick the services from a menu so won’t need to deal with routing tags any longer. You can get Pixelpipe Share Online from the Ovi Store at http://store.ovi.com/content/51490
