Sorry you're out of luck. That action requires a ruby setup that just isn't supported under 10.8.

Re: BitLy wouldn't work (14 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)
Ah, I see the problem - Sorry but OS X 10.8 is no longer supported by Dropzone. I know on our website it says 10.8+ but this is inaccurate. I will update this shortly. You need 10.9 (Mavericks) or later.

Re: BitLy wouldn't work (14 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)
Strange. Possibly something odd about your Ruby version. Did you overwrite the default system Ruby or anything like that? What do you get if you run:
ruby -v
In a terminal?
Also can you please try downloading the non-Mac App Store version from:
https://aptonic.com/dropzone3/latest
And see if you still have the problem.

Re: Add clipboard contents to the Drop Bar (2 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)
This is a feature I've wanted to add for a long time - the ability to take a screenshot and then have it auto uploaded using a specified action. I will definitely try and add this at some point.
Also you're right there isn't a way to add to Drop Bar using the API currently. This has been requested many times and is now a priority item. Unfortunately there are a literal ton of other fixes I need to get out first but your feedback has been noted

Re: Ruby Errors with dropbox (3 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)
Yeah that was an issue with an old version of the Dropbox action. It was fixed in an update. It's best to go into the 'User Actions' tab and do a 'Check for Updates' from time to time to make sure you have the newest version of the actions.

Re: Constantly being asked for Serial Number (3 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)
There was an issue with the Mac App Store certificates recently that caused people who had transitioned from the Mac App Store version to the non-Mac App Store to have the trial alert screen show. Rebooting will resolve this.
This was not related to the issue mentioned by musicscramble at the top of this thread which was caused by a different (now resolved) issue.

Re: ABsolute noob with no idea... (1 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)
That webpage you found is not related to Dropzone at all. That's a different project that just happens to have the same name. You don't need to know how to code to use Dropzone.
Dropzone is a Mac app so your band members would need to be using a Mac to use Dropzone. You can download Dropzone from our website at https://aptonic.com
You are correct about Dropzone being a sort of FTP for dummies though. You can indeed use Dropzone to drop a file onto it and have it upload to a predetermined folder.
Once you have it downloaded and running, you need to add an 'FTP Upload' action. You can do this by clicking the Dropzone menu item and clicking the white plus then choosing 'FTP Upload' from the list - from there you need to put in the settings for your FTP server which you'd need to get from your web host. Once the action is setup you can then drag items to the top of the screen to open the Dropzone grid and then you drop them on the FTP action you've setup.
I've added screenshots below to clarify the steps to set this up. Hope that helps!

Can you try installing the one linked below instead:

That one installs fine for me. If that one fails to install for you, please make sure you're using the non-Mac App Store version available from https://aptonic.com/dropzone3/latest

Re: Zamzar Conversion (2 replies, posted in Feature Requests)
Hmmm. I have to admit that looks very interesting indeed. Thanks for showing me that. Of course being a paid service I suppose users would need their own Zamzar accounts which I guess is the only downside.
But I will have a play around with their API and see if an action could be easily made for Dropzone.

Re: Menubar icon size in 3.5.4 update reduced (2 replies, posted in Feature Requests)
Thanks, glad you like the update. And I appreciate the way you've asked this - giving me a chance to explain first rather than just demanding I change it back. Very refreshing.
So the reason I've made the menu item smaller is that you can now drag files directly to the top of the screen to open the Dropzone grid so you don't need the wider target. Also, some users have many apps in their menu bar so having a wide icon that took up two spaces was less than ideal. Also if you want to open the grid to click an action you can assign a keyboard hotkey to do this now (the default is F3). So you don't really need to click on the menu item any more either. This means that the menu item is now mainly for showing task status and for clicking to open the grid if you forget about the keyboard shortcut.
That said, there's a bit of an issue that has arisen under the El Capitan beta where when you drag files to the top of the screen it sometimes opens Spaces. I'm not sure why or if this is a bug (maybe it's for dragging files between spaces). But I can't see a way to disable it and it makes dragging files to the top of the screen to open Dropzone not work nearly as well, so I might have to reconsider bringing back the wider menu item if I can't find another way to workaround this.
I could probably make having the wider menu item an option. I've resisted this so far because I feel that many apps are bad in that they try to please everyone by having options for everything and the app just becomes a complicated mess of Preferences. I'd prefer to just make a decision that works for the majority of users and then not have a lot of options, because in my experience opinionated software is the best.

Re: Crash (1 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)
This doesn't sound like a Dropzone problem. I'd recommend you check Console.app for errors or visit your local computer repairer for assistance.

Re: Email icon Grayed out (2 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)
The mail action will show in your add actions list (shown when you click the white plus in the top left of the Dropzone 3 grid) if you're using either Mail.app or Mailplane as your default mail client.
If you're using another email client (such as Outlook) you can try adding your Mail client as an 'Open Application' action and that will usually let you just email a file.

Re: Imgur 'Authorization Failed'?? (11 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)
Thanks for that Jonathon!
I'm going to wait a bit and see if Imgur fix this themselves. It's just the Google OAuth method that's broken just now - all the other methods (Facebook, Twitter and Yahoo) are currently working. If it's not fixed soon then I will implement the workaround in Dropzone you have suggested.
For any others looking for help with this, first make sure you download the beta build from:
http://shipsomecode.com/misc/Dropzone-3.5-Build763.zip
Then choose an authorization method other than G+ for the time being. Using a proper Imgur account or choosing Twitter, Facebook or Yahoo methods should all authorize fine.

Re: Imgur 'Authorization Failed'?? (11 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)
OK, I've fixed it. Looks like there were some changes at Imgur and a bug in OAuth was introduced that I've had to do a workaround for. Here's a beta version of Dropzone 3.5 you can download with the fix:
http://shipsomecode.com/misc/Dropzone-3.5-Build763.zip
You should close and trash your current version of Dropzone first. You can stick with this version and you'll still receive an auto-update to the final build of 3.5 when it is released.
Let me know if this fixes it for you

Re: Imgur 'Authorization Failed'?? (11 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)
Hmmm, yep same problem here. And yes it's caused by authenticating via Twitter, it works fine if authenticating via a normal Imgur account. I'm looking into it now, hope to have a fix for you soon.

See this forum post: https://aptonic.com/forum/post/626/#p626

Hopefully that fixes it!
