Yeah it's a known issue. I'm currently working on Dropzone 4 which will fix this.

Re: Mojave : move screenshot from temporary location (4 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)
It looks like it might be to do with the special characters in the file name - like the ’é and the à. Have you tried this with filenames without special characters? It would be helpful to first rule this out.

Circles is a dead and deprecated feature that most likely will not be returning to Dropzone. Sorry about that.

Re: Drag direct from Chrome to Dropzone 3 (6 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)
Hmmm yeah I think this is an issue with the latest version of Google Chrome where files can no longer be dragged directly from the browser into Dropzone. It's on my TODO list to investigate and fix this.

Re: Move to a specifiv folder via keyboard shortcut (5 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)
craig_rt: When you press F3 that is the shortcut to open the grid. And pressing D will just open your downloads folder. That is expected behaviour. It sounds like you are trying instead to move a file into your downloads folder. This is done differently - to do this you need to select a file or folder on the Desktop or in Finder and press the shortcut Ctrl+alt+cmd+D which will open the Dropzone grid and ask you to select an action to be used on the file. Pressing 'D' would then move the file or folder into Downloads.
Please see this video: https://youtu.be/gReRHjppIE4?t=393 (linked at the correct time) which shows exactly how to use files with a Dropzone action using the keyboard.

Re: Add Airdrop User action (1 replies, posted in Feature Requests)
There is one already! If your Mac supports AirDrop then you should see it as an option to add to the grid when clicking the white plus in the top left. Or it would have been added into your grid automatically.

Re: Move to a specifiv folder via keyboard shortcut (5 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)
It sounds like you may need to reboot or perhaps try switching to the non-Mac App Store version because the shortcut should work regardless of whether Dropzone is already open or not.
This kind of thing can also happen if you have multiple versions of the app in different folders and the service gets registered for the wrong version. Do a search for Dropzone in spotlight and make sure you close and trash any additional copies.

Re: secure eraser extension 1.1 doesn't work (4 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)
Yeah that's exactly the reason. Since this command line tool is missing in Sierra and above this action won't be reinstated in Dropzone.
As the linked discussion thread alludes to, this secure erase stuff is snake oil in the era of SSDs. So don't bother with it. Important data should be encrypted instead.

Re: Screenshot tool (1 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)
This is really cool. There isn't an API to remove items from Drop Bar, but what about just giving each subsequent screenshot a different filename? Then you'd avoid overwriting the last one each time. And the idea is you'd probably drag it out of Drop Bar before capturing the next one so having multiple ones added to Drop Bar isn't really a problem.
Try the below:
# Dropzone Action Info
# Name: Screenshots
# Description: Take a screenshot, add it to ~/Screenshots and add to Drop Bar
# Creator: Gareth Evans
# URL: http://yoursite.com
# Events: Clicked
# KeyModifiers: Command, Option, Control, Shift
# SkipConfig: No
# RunsSandboxed: No
# Version: 1.0
# MinDropzoneVersion: 3.0
def clicked
# Create the Screenshots directory if not already present
system("mkdir ~/Screenshots")
# Make a filename with the current time
formatted_time = Time.now.strftime("%F at %I.%M.%S %p")
filename = "Screen Shot " + formatted_time + ".png"
file_path = File.expand_path('~') + "/Screenshots/" + filename
# Capture screenshot
system("screencapture -i \"" + file_path + "\"")
# Add to Drop Bar
$dz.add_dropbar([file_path])
# Notification
$dz.finish("Screenshot successful")
$dz.url(false)
endAlso, could I recommend you fork the https://github.com/aptonic/dropzone3-actions repository, add your action and send me a pull request? That will make your action show up at https://aptonic.com/actions/untested automatically which will allow others to install it.
This will also allow us to collaborate on improvements more easily

Re: Dropbox upload not working (6 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)
Hi mhyusi - unfortunately I had to remove the Dropbox action as it was no longer working due to Dropbox removing support for public folders. I am planning to rewrite the action from scratch soon to use the Dropbox API. Will post here when this is out.

Yep, you can drop multiple folders or applications onto the 'Add to Grid' area of the grid in Dropzone and they will all be added to the grid.

Re: Activate Dropzone area while dragging - only when holding som key down (2 replies, posted in Feature Requests)
Hi Pip,
It's been added because Apple has made it so dragging to the top of the screen now activates mission control, and as this was the normal method for opening the Dropzone grid this caused problems. Also people often forgot they could drag to the top of the screen, so seeing Dropzones window up there reminds you 'hey you can drag this item here'
But you can disable this feature by opening a Terminal and copy pasting the following command:
defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/com.aptonic.Dropzone3.plist ScreenTopDragEnabled -bool false
And to re-enable:
defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/com.aptonic.Dropzone3.plist ScreenTopDragEnabled -bool true
The command is slightly different for the Mac App Store version of Dropzone. For that version the command to disable it is:
defaults write ~/Library/Containers/com.aptonic.Dropzone3/Data/Library/Preferences/com.aptonic.Dropzone3.plist ScreenTopDragEnabled -bool false
If you disable it then you can still drag onto the Dropzone menu item.
A shortcut you can hold to show the overlay is a cool idea. I will consider adding this in a future version.

Requires 10.9+ for the latest version of Dropzone. You'd have to go back to Dropzone 3.5 for 10.8 or earlier. This can be downloaded from https://aptonic.com/sparkle/Dropzone-3.5.0.zip

Re: Viewing FTP Server (1 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)
Dropzone can't view files or delete them - it's designed as a quick way to upload the file and then put the URL on the clipboard. If you need to to do more than this then you should use a conventional FTP client such as Cyberduck or Transmit.

Re: Add recent clipboard image to Drop Bar (1 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)
There is now API you can use to add items to the Drop Bar in Dropzone, unfortunately this currently has to be called from within a Dropzone action and can't be called externally by another app (such as Hazel). The best you could do at the moment would be clicking an action in the grid that adds the image from the folder or clipboard into Drop Bar, but that kind of defeats the point since you would obviously want the screenshot to be added into Dropzone automatically.
I think the real solution here is that Dropzone needs a way to run actions via a Terminal command. You could then have Dropzone periodically run an action to take the screenshot from the folder and then add it to Drop Bar. I'm planning to add this as a feature in an upcoming update.
