One can "publish" the movie SMIL file or still frames simply by editing shell scripts.
The Kino configuration file (Chapter 4, Preferences) contains a key named "enablePublish." Setting it "true" shows the -> and -> menu items and toolbar icons.
Scripts are installed at $prefix/share/kino/scripts/publish/
$prefix is typically /usr
or /usr/local
There is a frame.sh
and a project.sh
. Kino passes as command arguments the file name of the xml document or still frame followed by the project ID returned by the server followed by the the project name entered into the new project dialog.
