The Portable Freeware Collection Forums

I have published a new release today
It includes the support for different profiles and fix some minor bugs. You can try it...I'll check the code to try to resolve your issue.

ps: make a test using a different destination folder, to understand if the problem is the use of the temp folder..

Hi,
tested the SendTo with the new 0.8 version, but still NOK.
I tried on another PC with clean download and install of v0.8.
I'lll check some more tomorrow on another PC.

I'm very pleased with the profile setup ! Thanks for being such responsive.
Is there a command line startup possible as well ? Would make it really complete for that part.

Ex. c:/dropip/dropit.exe -s home where -s stands for start profile 'home'
Would be very nice for integration in a laucher you know.
Another command line paramater option could be: -h (hide; start minimized in tray)

BR,

May be in next releases

Hello,

does someone also have the same issue with the SendTo function that doesn't work.
It's not working and it's a real showstopper here.
Any idea's what might be causing this?

Thanks in advance.

It works very well here: winxpprosp3x86.
'Just created a shortcut for DropIt.exe v0.8 in "C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\SendTo" folder.

Have you tried to change the destination folder?

I have released a minor update today, that fix few bugs and implement the support to receive the "-profilename" command (to run DropIt with the specified profile).

Thank you Lupo73 for the command line option. Works great and in combination with Executor launcher it's just what I was after. Well done.

I have checked the SendTo with some different destination folders on 3 diff. PC, but still no success using the SendTo. I have no clue what I'm doing wrong.
Could it be some bug ? Don't know if other users have same experience.

I will check tomorrow with the new version at work as well.

REQ1:
Would it be possible to 'hide' the droppicture when double clicking on it.
Doing the same in the systemtray makes it visible. This would be very convenient and a fast way to get the blue arrow when you want to drop files to it. I prefer not to have it always visible. A hotkey assigned to get it visible or hiding it, is also on the wishlist.
I'm a fan of the keyboard you see ...

REQ2:
Is it possible to get a list of destination folders for the active profile, when you right click on the dropit image. clicking on a folder in the list would then open the folder. Is an easy and fast way to check/access the content.
If possible make it such that one can define his/her preferred browser. In my case TC.
As extra option:
Maybe even make the list such that you have 2 columns. First one showing the 'pattern', second one aside to it, the destination folder.

1. I tried to improve this feature a month ago, but I'm not able to do it..I can't solve some conflicts in the code.
2. I'll consider if add something like it.

If someone would like to help me with this autoit code, I'd like to implement some useful features:
- support for png images as target
- support for transparency gradient
- hide target image with double-click

so Yay!
no more popping up when i try to move files via SendTo, Awesome, ^-^
...not that Dropit is going to be much help now that my portable HD died, but eh, still like it,

but i did find a bug? mebey,
if i try to send two files at once, i get a popup box that says:
and yeah, i downloaded the lastest version and set it up just to check if this was still happening, and it is,
not greatly annoying or anything, but SendTo for more then one file at a time would be nice, ^-^
(least, once i get me a new HD and all anyways, )

and why no, im not ever happy,
nah, i love the program, i was using it alot before the HD bit,
just thought you might want to know about this, thats all, ^-^

Strange problem, it works fine for me. Have you autoit installed? (you could help me to understand the error, running the not compiled version of it.. to know the correct line error)

Can you send me your DropIt packaged and an example of files that cause the error? thanks

well, its going to get a little stranger,
i downloaded AutoIt and compiled the script,
and this time i got the error:
im sure youll agree thats odd as your script only goes up to line 937,
(Im thinking this might be a AutoIt bug given the line number)

as for example files that caused the error, honestly it was random files that id gotten from people, .exes, .pdfs, etc,
but for my last few test, since my HD is dead, i just did this:

new desktop folder named 'Test'
new sendto shortcut to newly compiled dropit then just created two new text files on my desktop,
selected them both, right-clicked / sendto / DropIt
and it crashes with that error,

as for running a non compiled version, both that and the official package works just fine when dragging files onto the DropIt icon,
im not sure how to set that up as a sendto shortcut though,

as for sending it to you, well with my HD went KeePass and my email password, so i'll have to go about resetting that first,
but id need an email to send it to, as i didnt find one one your site,
(you can just pm it if youd rather)

but i didnt change Anything in your script, and i get the same problem with the offical release, though it just says 'line -1'
so i doubt it would help much?

Thanks.. I have understand where is the problem. In the weekend I'll check the code to understand if it's a bug of my code or of autoit.

I have released a minor update today:
- improved "Pattern ambiguity" window
- fixed some minor bugs

@Firewrath: may be fixed also your bug..
