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

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!

Since my first use of the app, every time I dragged out an item from the stack to attach to an email, for example, the item(s) / the whole stack would be automatically removed from the drop bar.  Now even after dragging out the item(s) to place it anywhere else, they are kept in the drop bar and I have to right-click and manually remove each item/stack.

I don't remember changing any setting option, not sure what happened or how to change it back.

Can anybody help me?

To enable auto-conversion: Right-click on the YouTube downloader action in your Dropzone grid, choose Edit from the menu and then tick the ‘Convert to H.264 codec after download’ checkbox as shown below:

You can also tick this option when first adding the action. You must be on the non-Mac App Store version of Dropzone 4.80.18 or later and have the latest version of the YouTube Downloader action installed from the below link:

Any ideas what may be going on?  I also get the freeze if I try to install one of the actions from the website when I click the "add to grid" button.  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling.
