Strange. Not seen that before. What output do you get if you do:

file ~/Library/Preferences/com.aptonic.Dropzone3.plist

ScreenTopDragEnabled would not be in the plist to begin with. The command is supposed to add this entry.

If you open a terminal and just type:

defaults

What do you get? It should be something like in the below screenshot.

dewd - I assume this is because you're using the Mac App Store version. 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

Yeah, thanks. I'm aware of this issue. I will look into making it show proper progress at some point. This bothers me to, generally I wouldn't be OK with a long running action like this not showing progress. I didn't write the YouTube action though and I'm not yet sure how difficult fixing this will be.

Can you please download, unzip and double click to install the action from:

http://shipsomecode.com/misc/Print%20Debug.dzbundle.zip

This is a specially modified version of the Print action that provides extra debugging output.

Please add this modified action to your grid and drop a .doc or .docx on it. After it fails, please open your Dropzone grid, click the white settings gear and choose 'Debug Console' from the menu. Then paste me the Print Debug task output. This should help me determine the problem.

That error output indicates to me that you're still running the sandboxed (Mac App Store version) of Dropzone. I would close Dropzone and delete your version of Dropzone from your Applications folder and re-download from https://aptonic.com/dropzone3/latest - you can verify that it's the non-Mac App Store version by checking if there is an 'Updates' tab in the Preferences. You definitely can't call other scripts or executables under the sandboxed version, so that's the first thing to fix.

Now, also you need to put a ./ in front of the getDatabases.sh call. So change your line calling getDatabases.sh to the following:

output = `./getDatabases.sh`

And make sure the getDatabases.sh file is inside the action bundle.

Hope that helps!

Yeah, great idea. I will look into this.

It's been added because Apple has made it so dragging to the top of the screen now activates mission control in El Capitan, 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

If you disable it then you can still drag onto the Dropzone menu item.

I've added this ability in Dropzone 3.5.5. You can now right click on items in Drop Bar and click 'Lock Items' - a padlock will then be overlaid to show you the items are locked and the reference to the files will remain in Drop Bar until you remove them or unlock them and drag them out.

Here's a screenshot:

You can update to Dropzone 3.5.5 by clicking 'Check Now' in the updates in the Preferences or by downloading it from https://aptonic.com/dropzone3/latest

Did you follow the steps here to get your Dropbox UserID - https://aptonic.com/dropzone/destinatio … ropbox.php

You need to enable Dropbox Public folder by going here: https://www.dropbox.com/enable_public_folder

Then you have to get the right User ID by right clicking a file in the newly created Dropbox public folder and doing 'Copy Public Link'
You can then copy the right User ID out the URL and paste this into UserID field in Dropzone.

It should work under Mavericks. What output do you get in the debug console?
