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.

Could you please do a search for Dropzone in Console.app (located in /Applications/Utilities) and see if there are any messages?

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!

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:

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

Download and double click it to install it.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

bit.ly changed their API. The extension has been updated and is working now. You can download the updated version from http://aptonic.com/extend.php
