Thanks for the tip

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.

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.

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.

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.

Are you using gfxCardStatus?

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:

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

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.
