Hi Mike
The closest is this script - https://github.com/aptonic/dropzone-use … n.dropzone
It lets you specify a name, email and subject to send to when you drop a file onto it.
Click the Raw button on GitHub and then save it somewhere. Then edit the bit at the top that says:
$SUBJECT = "Message Subject"
$BODY = "This is the message body."
$TO_NAME = "Test Person"
$TO_ADDRESS = "test@testing.com"
And fill in these fields with what you want. Make sure the file is saved with a .dropzone file extension and then double click to install.
I'll look into this. It really depends on the extent to which Sparrow supports AppleScript.
Hi Michael
The print destination doesn't support advanced printing options like you describe. I started going down the road of adding more configuration and realized that there are literally thousands of options users may want to configure when printing and this falls way outside the scope of what Dropzone is designed for.
The print destination is really only for a super quick and dirty way to print a document without having to open it first. e.g. I want this PDF printed, real quick. If you're trying to use it for tasks beyond this then you're missing the point of the destination.
Thanks for the feedback. I am hoping to support other mail clients in a future version of Dropzone.
The update is now available on the Mac App Store.
TwitPic is now bundled with Dropzone so you no longer need to download the extension and install it separately. Simply go into the Preferences -> Add and then select TwitPic from the action drop down. You will then be asked to authorize TwitPic with Twitter.
Thanks for your patience and let me know if you have any problems.
The update (Dropzone 2.3) has been submitted to the app store and is waiting for review by Apple. It should be available real soon.
Hmm, well I agree that is frustrating. If Dropzone did that for me I would definitely be annoyed. Unfortunately I can't reproduce it and nobody else has emailed me about this either.
Any chance you could record a quick screencast demonstrating the behavior? I might notice something different about how you're using it that gives me a clue as to why this might be happening.
Thanks for posting that Matthew. I've had a look and it doesn't tell me a whole lot.
When Dropzone becomes unresponsive, if you click the menu item and press (Command+,) does the Dropzone Preferences window appear? This would tell me if Dropzone has actually hung or whether the grid/circles is just not able to open for some reason.
Are you using gfxCardStatus?
Yep, sorry. I have fixed this now and will be submitting the updated version to the App Store very shortly. The update should be available in the Mac App Store in a week or two depending on the app review time.
Hi Matthew
If Dropzone is crashing there will definitely be a crash report. Open Console.app and in the log list on the left-hand side expand a section marked 'CrashReporter' - any time an app crashes a report is added to this section.
Please email the report to me - john@aptonic.com or paste it here and I'll take a look.
Thanks!
People have themed Dropzone in the past by simply replacing the images in the Dropzone bundle, see below for example.
I agree it would be nice to take this to the next level and allow a theme to be selected through the preferences or something of this sort. I will think about this for future versions.
Thanks for the feedback!
Yup, sorry for the delay. You had the right idea. I've filled in the blanks for you and the working script can be downloaded below:
http://aptonic.com/getdestination.php?n … e.dropzone
I've hosted it in the dropzone-user-scripts repository (https://github.com/aptonic/dropzone-user-scripts) so others can benefit from it also. Nice idea 
Just wanted to let everyone know that the TwitPic destination is now throwing an error saying 'Invalid username or password' even when you have these set correctly. This is because the TwitPic API has changed significantly a short while ago.
I'm working on a solution to this but it will take a little time as Dropzone needs to implement OAuth authentication to work with the new API.
I will let you know when an update is out that fixes this.
This sounds pretty similar to the Move Files & Copy Files destinations that ship with Dropzone. Have you looked at those?
If the key element is needing to rename the files before moving/copying then this is certainly possible but will require some changes to these destinations. Right click on the Dropzone app bundle then do 'Show Package Contents' and navigate into Contents/Resources/Destination Scripts and have a look at the Move Files.dropzone destination in a text editor for a starting point.
Also, see the API documentation at http://aptonic.com/api
Ah, right. Well it's odd, because for me the status window isn't stealing focus like you say. I tried dropping a file onto the ImageShack destination. While it was uploading I was able to open and close new tabs in Chrome and close/open Finder windows.
What destination are you using when this happens? Also are you on OS X 10.6 or 10.7? Perhaps try rebooting and see if this still happens. There may be some other factor I'm missing.
Glad you're liking the new version
I'm a bit mystified about the issue you've described. No timing with regards to the status window has changed from the old version. Only thing I can think of it that Dropzone maybe taking keyboard focus when displaying the status window which means the keyboard events goto that window rather than the one you meant.
I will look into that, but meanwhile you could try Cmd-Tabbing to the app you are trying to use after initiating a Dropzone action and see if that fixes it.
Regarding the status window position: you can move it wherever on the screen you want by dragging it around and the position will be remembered. You can also minimize it by double clicking on it - it will pop back up when the action completes.
Hi Tom!
You should definitely remove the old version first. The best way to do this is to simply drag the Dropzone icon out of the dock. A dialog should then come up with an option to 'Uninstall Dropzone' - click this, Dropzone 0.6 will be uninstalled and moved to the trash. Empty the trash to complete the uninstall.
Then you can download and install Dropzone 2 from http://aptonic.com/dropzone/latest
Thanks Chris. Please check Console.app for related messages as well. Please also upgrade to Dropzone 2.2 which just came out on the Mac App Store.
I've never had anything like this myself, so it must be something specific about your configuration.
Please let me know your OS version and Mac type. A screen recording showing exactly what's happening is also very useful.
Install v2 again from http://aptonic.com/dropzone/latest and then when it comes up saying your trial has expired put your old registration details in.
All customers who purchased an old version can use their existing license details to register the new version.
I think the destinations have gone missing because when you upgraded to v2 your database was automatically upgraded and earlier versions don't work with the new database format. When you upgrade to v2 they should all come back again.
Yup. Message received. I'll look into it
I've made you a modified version of the FTP Upload destination that uploads with FTP and then shortens the URL with bit.ly like you say - download it from the link below:
http://aptonic.com/getdestination.php?n … y.dropzone
Before you double click on this destination to install it, you'll need to edit it with a text editor (TextEdit should work) and update the following two lines at the top:
$BITLY_USERNAME = "your-bitly-username"
$BITLY_API_KEY = "your-bitly-apikey"
You need to change your-bitly-username and your-bitly-apikey to the info you get from bit.ly when you create an account. Then save the file, double click on the script to install it and put in your FTP details as normal.
OK, if it happens again, open Activity Monitor and hit 'Sample Process' and send me the output. That may give us a clue as to what's happening. Any extra information you can provide, such as what you were doing at the time would also be useful.
Are you using any utilities that mess with the graphics system such as gfxCardStatus. If you are, you could try turning off the 'Animate grid opening and closing' preference in the Dropzone preferences and see if that helps.
Could you please do a search for Dropzone in Console.app (located in /Applications/Utilities) and see if there are any messages?
That's a cool idea. This would probably be implemented as a separate 'Open text in Application' destination. I will keep it in mind.
