You can already do this. Right click on the Apple shortcut in your Dropzone grid you want to customize, click Edit and then drag a new PNG image into the icon area as shown in the screenshot below:

Then click 'Update' and the new icon will be used.

The fix for this issue is out now with Dropzone v4.80.69.

Let me know if you have any further issues on Tahoe after updating to this version.

I am aware of this issue with Tahoe and it is currently top priority for me.
You can expect an update to be released which fully resolves this very soon.

I will update here when the fix is out.

There is also a workaround which is to turn off Accessibility > Display > Reduce Transparency and relaunch Dropzone.

This is an interesting idea, I will keep it in mind for a future version. Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback! I will consider it for a future version.

Yep, you can set the Run Dropzone Shortcut to anything you like by double clicking the key combination shown in my screenshot and assigning a new one.

And yep, that opening the Dropzone grid and needing to press ⌘D is normal behavior.
It works like this because you can also use this key combo to run Dropzone actions.

Check you have the 'Run Dropzone Action' shortcut enabled in macOS System Settings -> Keyboard shortcuts -> Services -> Files and Folders.

See screenshot below to clarify:

OK thanks for the extra info. I will consider adding this feature in an upcoming version.

You may need to hold down Fn + F3 or F4. And what do you mean you can’t change the shortcuts? What happens when you try?

When do you need to do this and why?

The latest update (v4.80.67) adds the ability to set a keyboard shortcut to open floating Drop Bar.
It defaults to F4, but you can customize it in the Settings -> General tab as shown below:

You can already do this by selecting a file in Finder and pressing Ctrl+Option+Cmd+D.

Great to hear smile

Thanks for the feedback. Will try and remember to update here once the new shortcut is added.

haha thats OK I appreciate the feedback - I think a keyboard shortcut to open it is a very good idea so will put this on the TODO list.

Note that you can currently also open the floating Drop Bar by holding the option key when dragging items onto Drop Bar in the main grid.

Yep, this was just added - To use this, first update to the latest version (currently 4.80.63) then click on the window icon in the top right of the Dropzone grid or click on the 'Drop Bar' item in the Dropzone grid. See screenshots below:

I have just released Dropzone 4.80.60 which allows you to keep Drop Bar open as a separate, draggable window.

To use this, first update to the latest version then click on the window icon in the top right of the Dropzone grid or click on the 'Drop Bar' item in the Dropzone grid:

This results in a window that floats on top of your other apps that you can drag around:

Hope you like it!

I have found and fixed the issue causing this.

You will need to update the Install Application action to the latest version to apply the fix. To do this, go to the 'Add-on Actions' tab in Dropzone 4 settings and click 'Check for Updates' in the bottom left - you will then be prompted to update to the latest version of the Install Application action (v1.6).

Note you will need to be running Dropzone 4 Pro to install this action update.

You're the second person to request a way to keep it open this week. I am planning to add a way to do this soon. I will update here when this update is out.

Hold down the option key with the add action menu open and it will appear.

Hmm, sorry but this reel will not download for some reason. I have the same issue. It's a problem with the Instaloader library which Dropzone uses. I have already upgraded it to the latest version but that didn't solve the issue. Resolving the underlying issue with Instaloader is beyond the scope of what I can do right now.

Probably the next step is to file a bug for Instaloader for that URL here:

I've just updated the action.

Can you please do a 'Check for Updates' in the Add-on actions tab in Dropzone Settings, and it should prompt you to update the Instagram Downloader action to version 1.7. Install this update and then try the download again.

At the end of that error message it says:

Login Checkpoint required. Point your browser to /challenge/action/AXEMzPwzfXuwp2G_SxthYR2m96NHjE7JhZtb375KipBw7T71G3g5LeZU5zddW6cwc8g_zT0/AfzNzwulls2iyB3fTn9b

Try going to the URL it provides with instagram.com added to the front. So for the error output you have there you would goto:

https://instagram.com/challenge/action/AXEMzPwzfXuwp2G_SxthYR2m96NHjE7JhZtb375KipBw7T71G3g5LeZU5zddW6cwc8g_zT0/AfzNzwulls2iyB3fTn9b

Run the action again and try going to the challenge URL.

Excellent! Great to hear.

Check you have the 'Run Dropzone Action' shortcut enabled in macOS System Settings -> Keyboard shortcuts -> Services -> Files and Folders.
