Re: FTP upload with automated bit.ly (1 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)

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.

Re: Dropzone 2.1 becomes unresponsive on Lion (14 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)

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.

Re: Dropzone 2.1 becomes unresponsive on Lion (14 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)

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

Re: Text Drag and Drop (1 replies, posted in Feature Requests)

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

Topic: ImageShack Destination Broken in Dropzone 2.1 (6 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)

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.

Re: Upload to an Amazon S3 Folder (4 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)

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

That should work.

Re: bit.ly broken? (4 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)

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!

Re: Zip & E-mail doesn't work (2 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)

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.

Re: ImageShack (2 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)

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.

Re: Issue with attachment and Mail (2 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)

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.

Re: click on it nothing happens (1 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)

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?

Re: Dropzone 2 - Location (1 replies, posted in Feature Requests)

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.

Re: ImageShack (2 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)

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.

Re: Issue when multiple desktops are activated (6 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)

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.

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:

Re: Print extension issues (18 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)

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.

Re: Drag & Drop stopped working (4 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)

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.
