Hi,
beautiful app, thanks.
I have a little problem with the option "always on top" that don't works in fact the icon goes under other windows and under the Windows 7 bar. Can you solve this problem? There is a hotkey to bring the icon in front?
A request: can you add zoom command (ctrl+scrollwheel) for the icon? Now I use more profile with different icon dimension.

Thanks

I have just started to use Dropit and find it very useful. I have a couple of questions.

1 When setting up rules in associations and selecting files say arduino. Some times the file names is all lower case sometimes all caps and sometimes the a is a cap. This makes the rule quite long . Is there a easy solution?

2 Is there any way to have the same associations copied to different pcs

3 How can I use dropit in a Linux system?

Bug or feature request:
File compression don't work on multiple folder. If you use this rule "MyFolder**" and drag and drop multiple folder that respect it, only the folder under the pointer is compressed.

Now I use winrar rar.exe command line to solve the problem with the same rule and this destiantion:
"C:\Program Files\WinRAR\rar.exe" a "%ParentDir%\Backup\%FileName% %CurrentDate%.rar" "%FileName%"

Sorry for the late..

@Daneel:
- I answered you on SourceForge topic about "always on top" (I think it was your topic too).. it works for me, can you give me few more info? Have you selected "always on top" in Options? Do you always have this problem or only in some cases? Do you use a 32bit or 64bit system? DropIt is installed or portable version?
- Instead I'm not sure the zoom feature is needed.. you can define icon dimensions during profile editing and the scrollwheel already allows you to switch between profiles..
- I'll check the problem of multiple folders compression.. thanks for the report..

@hengis:
- normal DropIt rules are case insensitive, so you can create associations without case problems..
- you can right click an association and click "Copy to..." to copy that association to another profile..
- currently DropIt is available only for Windows because coded with AutoIt (that it's only for Windows), but it is open source and I could help users interested in create a Linux or Mac clone..

@will123 Waiting for Lupo reply if you want you can use my solution:

1- New txt file wher you want
2- Open it and write:
@echo off
set /a cut=%3 + 1
set path=%1
set name=%2
set source=%path:~0,-1%\%name:~1%
call set newname=%%name:~%cut%%%
set dest="%newname%

ren %source% %dest%

3- Rename file in ???.bat (i use cutX.bat)
4- In Dropit:
4.1- Name: what you want
4.2- Rule what you want
4.3- Action: Open With
4.4- path+name.bat "%ParentDir%" "%FileName%.%FileExt%" 2 (e.g C:\Users\User Name\cutX.bat "%ParentDir%" "%FileName%.%FileExt%" 2)

Attention 1: don't change "%ParentDir%" "%FileName%.%FileExt%"
Attention 2: the number at the end is the chars to cut from beginning
eg. This is a try.txt
C:\Users\User Name\cutX.bat "%ParentDir%" "%FileName%.%FileExt%" 2 = is is a try.txt
C:\Users\User Name\cutX.bat "%ParentDir%" "%FileName%.%FileExt%" 3 = s is a try.txt
C:\Users\User Name\cutX.bat "%ParentDir%" "%FileName%.%FileExt%" 4 = is a try.txt
C:\Users\User Name\cutX.bat "%ParentDir%" "%FileName%.%FileExt%" 5 = is a try.txt


For Lupo:
Can you add special variable field? Like this #var=abc# and when DropIt find this field execute the command in it to store a var in %DropItVar% and then use %DropITVar% in the real command.
E.g.
Action : rename
TextField: #myvar=%FileName:~2%#.%FileExt%
First execute #myvar=%FileName:~2%# and store it in %DropItmyvar%
and then execute %DropItmyvar%.%FileExt%

or

Action : rename
TextField: #myvar<abc.bat %FileName%#.%FileExt%
First execute abc.bat %FileName% leaving the user to set value in %myvar%
and then execute %myvar%.%FileExt%

or an option popup with:
Variable name: myvar
Textarea with batch code to execute


p.s. I love dropIT :)

@Will123: currently the Daneel solution is the only one supported, but I'll add your request in the list of planned features. Ideas to implement this and other improvements are welcome (and for example the syntax to use).

@Daneel: from the Abbreviations menu you can create Custom abbreviations, you could test if it is possible to include an abbreviation into another. Or do you have something else in mind?

With the collaboration of Daneel, we are working to add some improvements and starting to plan the future major release 5.0 with multi-actions, files loaded at the beginning and much more!

The major release will needs a lot of development time, so the idea is to publish a version 4.6 with some useful new features and bug fixes (several new abbreviations, support to exclusion rules, support to extend abbreviation uses using modifiers, various fixes).

I'm also developing a Localizer tool to simplify translators work. Opinions and requests are welcome to improve and fix it!
In particular I need to know if it works with different character sets (like Chinese, Russian...)
You can download it for tests from here: http://www.lupopensuite.com/files/dropit/Localizer.zip

Hey there Lupo! Ciao!

The program has a nice and clean UI but it need some improvements on the code as it could use less resources and provide more options.
Here are some suggestions for DropIt:

- allow multiple actions for a single rule
- allow timing on actions: schedule, delay, ...
- support for .ico files (not only .png)
- option to beep/play sound when action is executed
- option to show tray balloon when action is executed
- check if target file is being used by another process
- When DropIt is IDLE it should not use the CPU at all!
- replace 'multiple instances' by 'allow multiple profiles'
- Use LESS memory!

Congratulations for de program!

Hello everyone,
I am just starting with DropIt; I would like to know if you could help me with an association to create target folder names, based on a substring of the source filename for instance the first 5 characters of %FileName% ?
Thanks
Jean-Pierre
