New trick – Print instantly with Dropzone
We’ve just added a pretty neat destination – If you drag a file or image onto it, it immediately prints it to your default printer.
You can also drag multiple files onto it – e.g. if I want to print a bunch of text files or PDFs I just drag them onto the Print destination and they’re sent to the printer.
And it’s 3 lines of code. No joke. Download here.
Dropzone Launched
Download it if you haven’t already, and if you like it, support the project by buying a copy – As promised, it’s only $10.
I’m really very proud of it, and have come to depend on it in my day to day work. Although it can take a while before it feels a natural part of your OS X workflow, once you ‘get it’ it becomes an indispensable utility, a lot like Quicksilver or TextExpander.
I see this as just a beginning, and I hope you’ll help me build on it using the Dropzone scripting API. Some pretty neat stuff has already been built. I also need your feedback on how to evolve the API to make it even more useful.
There are many more features I am working on for future releases, such as SFTP, WebDAV and MobileMe support. So if you need these, rest assured they are coming soon.
Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy using the app and let me know what you think of it!
