DropIt

[tproli]

An easy workaround could be using TEMP as the ini location. So if the ini paralell to DropIt.exe is read-only, use TEMP dir instead. Remove the ini on close.

It wouldn't be necessary to move to a temporary directory, I don't do that for ProEject (only when Ejecting from the same drive ProEject was started from.) I have a Function that checks if the Folder or Drive is writable and then if so write the settings and log file. This would be easy to implement instead of moving files to the temp folder, trust me

Code: Select all

Func _IsWritable()
	Return (_WinAPI_IsWritable(StringLeft(@ScriptFullPath, 1) & ":") = 1 And StringInStr(FileGetAttrib(@ScriptDir & "\"), "R") = 0)
EndFunc   ;==>_IsWritable

It could be a feature for next release

Now I'm uploading the stable version 3.5

Great software!!
1st a request - Would love to have a folder monitor, coupled with a print function....
2nd some help - I have a user who prints a large amount of PDF's without the need to read them. (A folder monitor would be great for this) So I am trying to setup a pattern to print PDF silently. the first attempt is just a standard non Silent print

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" -p "%File%" 

When I drop a PDF on the target the PDF opens with the following message -

There was an error opening this document. This file could not be found. After clicking OK the file opens but no print command comes up.

The next option I am going to try is Readers Silent print

Code: Select all

AcroRd32.exe /t path "printername" "drivername" "portname"

If anyone has a better idea on how to do what I want please tell me

[tproli]

That should work but there's a bug in this release as I came across with this issue yesterday.

Well done!

Something I've been adding into my applications recently is retrieving the language of the OS and displaying the available translation. This supports 19 of the most popular languages in the world and I checked to see if the DropIt translations were included and they are. I was going to add to Dropit in the SVN, but I didn't know if you would want it added.

Code: Select all

MsgBox(64, "Language File", "The default language translation will be " & _GetOSLanguage() & ".lng")

2nd some help ...

As reported by tproli, the second problem may be caused by a bug.. I'll post a new test version next week that may solve this and few other issues..

Congrats.

Great!

_GetOSLanguage()

Thanks! language auto-detection added

[fra diavolo]

Really a masterpiece!

A suggestion: it would be great to be able to switch/cycle profiles using mouse scroll wheel on the floating DropIt image.

Thx for your work

Yes ..but I recommend to use only official releases, because SVN updates may include several bugs..

This is the first beta version 3.6 available for download:
http://www.lupopensuite.com/files/dropi ... rtable.zip

Current changes:
- improved interface
- improved support to Unicode for patterns
- added auto-detection of OS language
- added support to add paths of dropped files in clipboard (hold Ctrl+P at drop)
- added support to copy dropped files in a selected folder (hold Ctrl+C at drop)
- added support to create shortcuts of dropped files in a selected folder (hold Ctrl+S at drop)
- added support to move dropped files in a selected folder (hold Ctrl+X at drop)
- added support to switch profiles with mouse scroll wheel
- fixed minor bugs

I'm unable to override general settings with profiles > customize> context menu > options

I want to list all the files in a dir (and subdir) I got general settings "enable associations also for folders"= true and when I tried to override it only for the profile I've created... it didn't work as expected... (I mean profiles > customize > context menu > options > "enable associations also for folders" > disable for this profile...
...did I make something wrong?

Thx
