I have Dropzone 5 installed on my personal Mac. Is there (or could there be) a Dropzone action that would let me drop something (file or text) into the grid and that it would automatically just email it to my work address? It would be the same fixed email address all the time.

Thank you!

Mark

Open URL allows you to specify the URL that you'd like to open. I'd like to make something similar but that uses a different URL scheme. For instance, apps are allowed to specify a custom scheme that opens that app. The built-in ones are `open:` and `shortcut:`. I have a custom app that opens with customapp://0ba204 and I could launch it on the command-line with `open "customapp://0ba204"`.

Maybe this is already supported, but I couldn't seem to find a way to do that.

I think that passing a string could be used to set command-line arguments for a command--so I think this could also be super useful.

Would it be possible to implement a feature that allows users to change the .ico file for each action? This would greatly enhance usability and provide a more personalized experience.

Thank you for considering this suggestion. I appreciate your time and effort in continually improving the software.

Now when I start to drag a file to the menu bar, I'll see the icon, but the actions window can't be seen. Clicking the Dropzone icon on the menu bar makes it gray out as if activated, but again, I don't see the actions grid. Curious if anyone else is having the same issue and maybe discovered a fix?

I'm using 4.80.68 and ran updates for all of the actions. I'm on a MacBook Pro (M3/2023).

Didn't realize how much I actually use Dropzone until I couldn't. Great tool.

Thanks.

I need your help with the Install Application action. I don't know why, but whenever I try to update an existing app on my computer by dragging it's DMG to the action, macOS asks if I want to replace the existing file but somehow the app is not actually being replaced. This is driving me crazy and I can't figure it out why. I already tried uninstalling Dropzone and it didn't work. Replacing it manually works fine.

Any hints what could be the issue?

I'd appreciate your help!

Thanks!
