OK, thanks for the feedback. What I'm considering doing is adding a hidden default that adds a blank space action as an option to the add action popup menu in the top left. Most people probably won't use this feature and I'd rather not have it as a permanent item as it may cause some confusion, but for those who want it it does seem like a useful idea.

I will look at this for the next few versions, right now I'm still dealing with a lot of Yosemite related bugs.

This is coming in Dropzone 3.2.2 which will be released in the next few days

Hi Alan,

I've made you a custom version of the FTP action that waits 8 minutes between uploads. If you need to change the delay, you can edit the ftp_custom.rb file inside the action bundle and change line 96. The trick was there's another library bundled with Dropzone that does the actual uploading so I've made you a custom version of this lib and bundled it along with the action.

You can download the action here: http://shipsomecode.com/misc/FTP%20Uplo … bundle.zip
Unzip it and double click the "FTP Upload With Delay.dzbundle" action bundle to add it to your grid.

I liked this idea so much that I went ahead and built an action for Dropzone 3 that does it. You can install here:

https://aptonic.com/dropzone3/actions/i … e%20Search

It is compatible with both sandboxed (Mac App Store) and unsandboxed (non-Mac App Store) versions of Dropzone 3. It also supports dropping multiple images on it. After you drop an image, it uploads it to Google and then opens the results in your browser.

Hope you guys like it! Let me know if you have any questions or feedback .

Great idea, I will definitely look at adding this.

Double check you deleted it from your applications folder and also your downloads folder and try a reboot. The app store gets confused sometimes.

Yep, you can use either the AirDrop action for this (drag the file onto the Dropzone 3 menu item and then onto AirDrop), or you can setup an SCP action to transfer to the other Mac. The steps to do this are shown here:

I have just sent you a non-App Store license. It's supposed to register automatically by detecting your MAS purchase although in rare cases this doesn't work which I'm investigating.

That's a very interesting request.

Dropzone 3 currently uses rsync to do all copying and moving. I'm thinking that if you use the OS X copying/moving APIs then Finder allows an undo. Unfortunately switching from rsync to the OS X copy/move API would quite likely be a pretty big job. I will definitely keep it in mind though. Thanks for the feedback.

Yep, very possible. You can use the SCP Upload action to achieve this. Here's a step by step guide:

1. First you need to turn on Remote Login on the Mac you want to send files to. To do this, open System Preferences and click on 'Sharing' then tick the checkbox next to 'Remote Login' - this will switch on SSH access to the Mac which also allows SCP file transfers:

2. In Dropzone 3 on the Mac you will be sending files from, you now need to install the SCP Upload action. You can install this by clicking 'Install' on the SCP action on this page https://aptonic.com/dropzone3/actions - note that this action requires the non-Mac App Store version of Dropzone. If you purchased Dropzone 3 from the Mac App Store then you can switch to the non-App Store version by downloading it from https://aptonic.com/dropzone3/latest and moving it to your Applications folder and replacing your existing version. It will detect you purchased it on the Mac App Store and register you automatically.

3. When you install the SCP Action it will show the dialog below. Click the 'Add to Grid button' (you can also add it from the add action menu in the top left of the grid.

4. You now have to put in the connection details as shown in the screenshot below. The Server field should be the name given underneath the 'Computer Name' field on the other machine from the first step. Username is your Mac user account username. Note that if you don't have a password set for your user account on the destination machine then you'll have to set one up and then put this in the Password field. Remote Path is the path to put files on the destination machine. If you just want them to go onto the Desktop for example then you can use the pattern /Users/<username>/Desktop. You can leave the Root URL blank:

5. Once you've put in all the details, click 'Test Connection' to check it's working and click the 'Add' button to add the action to your Dropzone 3 grid.

6. That's it, you're done - you can now drag files onto the Dropzone 3 menu item and then onto the SCP Upload action and they will appear in the chosen destination folder on the other Mac. If you want to share files from the destination Mac as well you can setup the same thing in the other direction.

Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any problems following this.
