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!

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:

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

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

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.

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.

Yup. Message received. I'll look into it

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.

That's a cool idea. This would probably be implemented as a separate 'Open text in Application' destination. I will keep it in mind.

Save the Droplet somewhere and then add it to Dropzone by adding an 'Open Application' destination that points to the Droplet.

That should work.

I'm thinking of adding this to a future version. It's definitely a cool idea.

I've investigated this issue further and it's due to a bug where the ImageShack destination is not included with 2.0.

This has been fixed in 2.1 which will be available as a free update from the Mac App Store as soon as Apple approves it. In the meantime, installing the destination manually as explained above will work.
