I just tested this myself under 4.2.8 and all was well. I'm wondering if this may have been a temporary outage.
Could you test this out again now?

I have rewritten the Tinify action to work again. You can install it from here: https://aptonic.com/actions/install.php … ame=Tinify

Note that it requires the Dropzone 4 non-Mac App Store version. Also it requires an API key which you can get for free at https://tinypng.com/developers

If you have an old version of the action installed then you will want to install it again from the above link so you get the latest version.

The Bitly shortener action has now been replaced with the TinyURL shortener. This is now built into Dropzone 4.

You can add this by adding a 'Shorten URL' action from the add action menu in the top left of the grid as shown in the screenshot below:

Hi PK,

I recommend you kill whatever version of Dropzone you have and delete it and then download the non-Mac App Store version from the below link instead:

https://aptonic.com/dropzone/latest

That should get you running again.

Just an update to let you know that as of the latest update (v4.3.1) the built in SFTP Upload action now supports transferring folders (including ones with multiple subfolders) so there's no longer any need to use the old SCP Upload action.

Just an update to let you know that this issue has now been fully resolved. If you update to the latest version of Dropzone and install the latest version of the YouTube downloader action from the link below then this will work again as expected:

https://aptonic.com/actions/install.php … Downloader

4.3.1 is now released. So the dz.add_dropbar() API should work as expected once you update to this version.

The version with this fix (4.3.1) is now released on Setapp. The 'Run Shortcut' action should now show as an option once you update to this version.

I really hope this week. The fix has long been done, it's just waiting on me to finish SFTP folder uploading which is going out with 4.3.1. This week or next for sure.

Sorry for the wait.

Thanks for the request. I think this is a really cool idea, but it is also quite a big departure from how the app works currently.
I have often wanted the ability to switch in different grid configurations myself and maybe it wouldn't be so hard. I will keep it in mind during future feature planning.

Oops, yes I've just tested this and there is a bug in the Setapp version which is preventing the Run Shortcut action from showing in the dropdown. Thanks for finding this - I will fix it in the next update which should be out in about a week.

I will update here to let you know once this is out.

You can add a Run Shortcut action as shown below:

https://aptonic123.s3.amazonaws.com/RunShortcut-1.png

We don't send out emails for every release however the app will tell you when there is an update. Will update you here when this fix is out also.

This turned out to be easier than anticipated and version 2.7 of the YouTube Downloader action is now out and uses yt-dlp instead. It is definitely much faster at downloading videos and should hopefully fix the 403 errors also.

You can get this by opening the Dropzone preferences and in the Cloud Actions tab clicking 'Check for Updates' or installing the action from the link below:

https://aptonic.com/actions/install.php … Downloader

Hi Dennis,

I ran into this slow speed with YouTube Downloader myself and am currently working on changing the YouTube Downloader action to use yt-dlp instead. This should be out in a few weeks and I will update here once this is out.

Hi Ryan,

You'd want to do this instead as os.path.abspath() will not expand the tilde as you expect:

file_paths = [os.path.expanduser("~/test_file.mp4")]
dz.add_dropbar(file_paths)

However I've just tested this for you and unfortunately I accidentally broke the dz.add_dropbar() API in the latest update and calling this will always cause a crash even when using the correct tilde expansion above. I have made the fix which will be released with Dropzone 4.3.1 in a week or so and then you can give this another go.

The proper fix for this issue is now out. This will make the YouTube Downloader action work again under the latest version (currently 12.3) of macOS Monterey. And there is now no need to install Xcode or developer tools.

You can get the fix by updating to the latest version of Dropzone 4 (by going into the preferences, then the updates tab and then clicking 'Check Now') then also reinstall the YouTube Downloader action - by going here: https://aptonic.com/actions/install.php … Downloader

Then the YouTube Download action should work again as expected. You need to be on Dropzone 4.2.9 or later and YouTube Downloader action version 2.6 or later for it to work. You can double check these after updating in the Dropzone preferences.

OK thanks. I think for now the only solution may be to install Xcode from the Mac App Store which includes python so you could try this for now. I am working on a full solution to this issue and will update once this is out.

Actually I just had another user email me about this and I have investigated further. The YouTube Downloader action is currently not working due to the removal of python under macOS Monterey 12.3. The solution for now is to open a terminal and type 'python' which should trigger install of developer tools (this includes python).

A proper solution (python bundled with Dropzone) is coming soon and this will make it work again without this extra step. Will update here once this is released.

Can you try reinstalling the action from the link below:

https://aptonic.com/actions/install.php … Downloader

I think you may be running an outdated version of the action.

Awesome, great to hear!

Folder upload is definitely planned for the SFTP action as well although this may be a little while away. It doesn't really make sense to maintain both SCP and SFTP actions separately as most SCP servers will also support SFTP so all further development is going to be done on the SFTP action in future.

In the meantime if you open a terminal and do:

gem install net-scp

Then that should make the SCP Upload action work again. There may be one or two other gems you need to install as well as these are no longer included with Dropzone, but see how you go trying the original action after installing the net-scp gem to begin with.

Hi there,

Please instead setup an SFTP action (this will work same as SCP) with the same credentials you were using on your SCP one. That should work again as expected.

John

OK thanks, can you please open a Terminal and type:

python

and then paste me the output here.

It looks like your system is not finding the python executable for some reason.

Thanks for the extra detail - Definitely helpful. Will be sure to hit you up for help with beta testing once I get to this!
