ImageShack have just updated their API and the ImageShack destination that ships with Dropzone 2.1 is now giving an 'Upload Failed' message when trying to share an image. This will be fixed in Dropzone 2.2.

In the meantime, you can download and install the updated destination below to fix this:

http://aptonic.com/getdestination.php?n … 2.dropzone

First, remove your existing ImageShack destination from the grid in the Preferences then download the one above and double click it. Then click 'Add to Grid' to install it.

My apologies for the inconvenience.

Update: Dropzone 2.2 is now available from the Mac App Store and from our site. It fixes this problem.

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

That should work.

You have to give it your bit.ly API key in the password field, not your password. To get your bit.ly API key, go here: http://bit.ly/a/your_api_key

That should fix it!

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

For anyone else having this issue, Dropzone assumes that if you drag a single item that it doesn't need to zip it before attaching it to your message. However, if you want to always zip even for only one file then I have created a destination that does this.

Here's a link to the modified Zip & Email destination that always zips:

Download and double click it to install it.

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.

Thanks ivanlozano, but unfortunately that won't fix it.

I've been looking into this and it's due to a bug in the Zip & Email destination. I've just submitted Dropzone 2.1 to the Mac App Store and it should fix this issue.

Not at the moment, but I will consider this for future versions.

I need more information than that. Is this via the Mac App Store or the old (0.6) dock based version?

How are you trying to open it and what happens exactly?

I've just updated the print destination.

It now supports printer selection and also printing of Microsoft Word documents. You can download the latest version of this extension from http://aptonic.com/extend.php

The alternative is Circles which is activated by dragging items to the middle right of the screen or moving the mouse there and clicking the half Circle that appears.

Try Circles, it gives you a much larger dragging target and is great if you have a lot of items in your menu bar.

Hi Michael

I had someone else have a similar issue and the solution was to re-install the ImageShack destination script manually by downloading it and double clicking it. Then delete your existing ImageShack destination in the preferences and re-add it.

Here's a link to the ImageShack destination:

http://aptonic.com/getdestination.php?n … k.dropzone

Try relaunching the app if you're still stuck.

I've got a lot of feedback from others who want this option as well so there's a good chance this will find its way into a future version.

I upgraded to 10.7.3 and I'm still not able to reproduce this issue. When you say "multiple desktops are activated" am I correct in thinking you mean you have added desktops using the plus in the top right of mission control (screenshot)

I tried adding a few desktops and Circles still activates fine on all desktops and in fullscreen apps. Do you have dual monitors or is there something else I'm missing here?

If possible, it would be very useful to see a short screen recording of this issue occurring. Thanks.

Are you sure you entered the Dropbox UserID correctly?

Also, download the latest version of the Dropbox extension from http://aptonic.com/extend.php (it was just updated) and then try resetting up the destination from scratch using the steps in this guide:

The Dropzone Print destination doesn't currently support printing of Word Documents or changing print settings.

I'm working on a better version of the Print destination. I whipped up the current one in a few minutes to just print images, text and PDFs but it has been a lot more popular than I expected so I am now improving it.

Try Dropzone 2.0. Earlier versions of Dropzone could have issues like this due to having to use some hacks to integrate with the dock. Dropzone has now moved to the menubar.

See http://aptonic.com/dropzone2

Net yet. WebDAV support should make it into a future version.

You can choose up to 4 of your Dropzone destinations to show in Circles in the Preferences. See the screenshot below.

Note that there's now a preference in 2.0 to make Dropzone always install to the main Applications folder rather than the user Application folder.

To get to the option, open the Preferences, select your Install Application destination and hit edit. The option should be ticked automatically. Now hit update and you should be good to go. Note that last step - you MUST hit update for the database to be updated, otherwise the option will not take effect.

Thanks mzch. I have not been able to reproduce this myself yet, do you know if it happened on 10.7.2?

I am downloading the 10.7.3 combo update now. Once I've updated I will investigate further.

I'm not aware of any issues when copying to a USB drive. Make sure you are running the latest version (currently 0.6) and see if you still have problems.

If it's still failing, open the Dropzone preferences and do Cmd+Shift+D then paste me all output from the debug console after the failed move.

I can confirm that Dropzone is now fully compatible with Lion.

There was an issue with FTP not working and a few other minor things but these have all been fixed now. Make sure you are running the latest version (currently 0.6).
