Re: Mavericks: DropBox causes use of discrete graphics chip (6 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)

OK thanks. I've been doing some Googling around and it looks like the fix I implemented only works for dual-GPU MacBook Pros that were shipped Early 2011 and after. It's discussed in this tech note here https://developer.apple.com/library/mac … index.html It's a pity Apple has done it this way - I know other apps such as 1Password suffer this problem as well - see http://discussions.agilebits.com/discus … -card-used

Basically without stripping out all the Core Animation/Open GL stuff in Dropzone (which is practically impossible, the whole grid and everything is rendered with Core Animation) there's noway to fix this. With the problem now resolved on all post 2011 MacBooks there's just no incentive for me to spend time on this. Sorry! You may want to discontinue using Dropzone until you upgrade your MacBook.

Did you try turning off grid animation in the preferences? I don't think this will fix it but worth a try.

Re: DZ gets stuck (3 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)

Thanks! Glad you like it.

Is this the grid or circles popping up over and over? There was a bug like this with Circles in an earlier version of Dropzone but it has been fixed. What version of Dropzone are you running? For the Mac App Store version you can check this by right clicking the app in the Finder and doing Get Info or for the non-Mac App Store version you can check from the Updates tab in the preferences. The latest version of Dropzone is currently 2.8.5.

If you're running the latest version and it does it again it would be great if you could use QuickTime to capture a screen recording of this happening to send me. I might be able to figure out the issue from that.

It contains a number of possible fixes as well as an alternative method of registration where you can put in your serial and download a license file if you're really stuck.

Re: Imageshack with logins (5 replies, posted in Feature Requests)

Yep, I agree this is an important feature. I'll have a look at the API and see how hard this would be.

Re: Mavericks: DropBox causes use of discrete graphics chip (6 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)

Darn - I was pretty sure this was fixed.

How do you know it's Dropzone causing the discrete graphics to get switched on? Could it be another app?

Hi morningnapalm - Try relaunching the app (can kill it with Activity Monitor) and see if that fixes it.

Re: Save Text - how? (1 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)

The way you use text destinations is you drag text onto them. Like with the Save Text destination you would highlight the text in your browser or TextEdit or whatever and then hold down the left mouse button on the selection. The text should come away and you can drag it onto Dropzone.

Re: How to install Dropbox extension? (2 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)

Check your downloads folder. It would have downloaded the extension to there. You need to double click the downloaded Dropbox.dropzone file to actually install it.

OK, yeah - this is something to email the makers of 1PW about.

The Dropzone issue is definitely fixed.

Re: Weird issue with 1Password 4 (11 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)

Hi lopen -

One thing I've noticed is that if you move the mouse with the 1PW Mini menu open then it loses focus. This happens regardless of whether Dropzone is open or not. This is an issue in 1PW mini and not with Dropzone.

Could this be the issue you're seeing here? I'm running the latest version of 1PW 4 (Version 4.0.9) and I'm pretty sure the original issue (mini losing focus after a second with Dropzone open) is fixed. You may want to close Dropzone and verify that it's not really an issue with 1PW.

If you still think it's a Dropzone issue, please record a short screencast showing the issue and link here. I've been proved wrong before!

Re: upload images to tumblr (1 replies, posted in Feature Requests)

Hi psybnc,

Thanks Glad you like it.

I've just investigated this, and it's because the current Tumblr destination script was written for the Tumblr v1 API which has now been phased out. The destination will unfortunately need to be totally rewritten for the v2 API.

I will consider this for a later version. If someone else wants to help out with this, that'd be swell.

Excellent! Thanks for reporting back. Great to know it's definitely fixed.

If you feel like it sometime, a positive review on the App Store is always hugely appreciated

Re: Weird issue with 1Password 4 (11 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)

I've just released an update (Dropzone 2.8.3) that fixes this issue.

If you're running the non-Mac App Store version, you can click on the Updates tab in the Dropzone Preferences and then click the Check Now button to upgrade.

If on the Mac App Store version you can either wait about a week for Apple to approve the update or you can switch to the Non-Mac App Store version by downloading it at http://aptonic.com/dropzone/latest (It's the same but gets updates faster).

Email me if you need a license for the non-Mac App Store version.

Re: Weird issue with 1Password 4 (11 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)

Hi Rrjqubx,

Thanks! Glad you like the app. I'm an avid 1Password user myself (although I wasn't using the mini menubar). After enabling the mini menubar I'm having the same issue as well. A quick search through the Dropzone source code for timers and I've found the issue. It's actually something new in Mavericks I added to work around an OS X bug with dual screens.

I'll investigate further and hopefully have an update for you on this shortly.

Re: Grid Positioning Issue (7 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)

Hmm, OK thanks. That looks very similar to an issue I was pretty sure I'd fixed for Mavericks.

What version of Dropzone are you using? The latest version is 2.8.2. You can check your version by right clicking Dropzone in the Applications folder and then clicking 'Get Info'

Is this the Mac App Store or non-Mac App Store version this is happening with?
