Thanks for the request. I think this is a really cool idea, but it is also quite a big departure from how the app works currently.
I have often wanted the ability to switch in different grid configurations myself and maybe it wouldn't be so hard. I will keep it in mind during future feature planning.

Re: Run Shortcuts from Dropzone via an action (6 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)
Oops, yes I've just tested this and there is a bug in the Setapp version which is preventing the Run Shortcut action from showing in the dropdown. Thanks for finding this - I will fix it in the next update which should be out in about a week.
I will update here to let you know once this is out.

We don't send out emails for every release however the app will tell you when there is an update. Will update you here when this fix is out also.

Re: Ability to use an external program for the Youtube Downloader (3 replies, posted in Feature Requests)
This turned out to be easier than anticipated and version 2.7 of the YouTube Downloader action is now out and uses yt-dlp instead. It is definitely much faster at downloading videos and should hopefully fix the 403 errors also.
You can get this by opening the Dropzone preferences and in the Cloud Actions tab clicking 'Check for Updates' or installing the action from the link below:

Re: Ability to use an external program for the Youtube Downloader (3 replies, posted in Feature Requests)
Hi Dennis,
I ran into this slow speed with YouTube Downloader myself and am currently working on changing the YouTube Downloader action to use yt-dlp instead. This should be out in a few weeks and I will update here once this is out.

Re: dz.add_dropbar causing Dropzone to crash (6 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)
Hi Ryan,
You'd want to do this instead as os.path.abspath() will not expand the tilde as you expect:
file_paths = [os.path.expanduser("~/test_file.mp4")]
dz.add_dropbar(file_paths)However I've just tested this for you and unfortunately I accidentally broke the dz.add_dropbar() API in the latest update and calling this will always cause a crash even when using the correct tilde expansion above. I have made the fix which will be released with Dropzone 4.3.1 in a week or so and then you can give this another go.

Re: YouTube Downloader error (5 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)
The proper fix for this issue is now out. This will make the YouTube Downloader action work again under the latest version (currently 12.3) of macOS Monterey. And there is now no need to install Xcode or developer tools.
You can get the fix by updating to the latest version of Dropzone 4 (by going into the preferences, then the updates tab and then clicking 'Check Now') then also reinstall the YouTube Downloader action - by going here: https://aptonic.com/actions/install.php … Downloader
Then the YouTube Download action should work again as expected. You need to be on Dropzone 4.2.9 or later and YouTube Downloader action version 2.6 or later for it to work. You can double check these after updating in the Dropzone preferences.

Re: YouTube Downloader error (5 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)
OK thanks. I think for now the only solution may be to install Xcode from the Mac App Store which includes python so you could try this for now. I am working on a full solution to this issue and will update once this is out.

Re: YouTube Downloader error (5 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)
Actually I just had another user email me about this and I have investigated further. The YouTube Downloader action is currently not working due to the removal of python under macOS Monterey 12.3. The solution for now is to open a terminal and type 'python' which should trigger install of developer tools (this includes python).
A proper solution (python bundled with Dropzone) is coming soon and this will make it work again without this extra step. Will update here once this is released.

Re: YouTube Downloader error (5 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)
Can you try reinstalling the action from the link below:

I think you may be running an outdated version of the action.

Re: SCP upload action has stopped working - output is a Ruby error message (6 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)
Folder upload is definitely planned for the SFTP action as well although this may be a little while away. It doesn't really make sense to maintain both SCP and SFTP actions separately as most SCP servers will also support SFTP so all further development is going to be done on the SFTP action in future.
In the meantime if you open a terminal and do:
gem install net-scpThen that should make the SCP Upload action work again. There may be one or two other gems you need to install as well as these are no longer included with Dropzone, but see how you go trying the original action after installing the net-scp gem to begin with.

Re: SCP upload action has stopped working - output is a Ruby error message (6 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)
Hi there,
Please instead setup an SFTP action (this will work same as SCP) with the same credentials you were using on your SCP one. That should work again as expected.

OK thanks, can you please open a Terminal and type:

It looks like your system is not finding the python executable for some reason.

Re: Watch folder to Drop Bar? (3 replies, posted in Feature Requests)
That's a brilliant idea. I like it so much I'm going to add it to my list of features to implement.
I just need to have a think about the UI for how to set the watch folder and how to workaround sandboxing issues. Will keep you posted.

Hi there,
Can you please close Dropzone 4, move it to trash and then re-download from the below link:
https://aptonic.com/dropzone/latest
That will hopefully fix it.

Hi Ward,
Thanks glad you're enjoying the app!
Here's the release notes for 4.2.0: https://aptonic.com/sparkle4/releasenotes/4.2.0.html
But I agree there should be a section to view these. I will add to my TODO list.

Re: Difference between sandboxed vs un-sandboxed version (4 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)
The unsandboxed version of Dropzone 4 is now available both via Setapp and direct from our website at the below link:
https://aptonic.com/dropzone/latest
The only sandboxed version of Dropzone 4 is the Mac App Store version which is available at this link:
https://apps.apple.com/app/id1485052491?mt=12
The non-Mac App Store version of Dropzone 4 also provides a lifetime purchase option for $40 USD whereas the Mac App Store version requires a $1.99USD subscription to unlock all features. The non-Mac App Store version direct from us is the preferred version due to the lack of sandboxing enabling more features and also because it provides the lifetime purchase option allowing more flexibility if you decide you'd like to upgrade to pro (thanks!).

Re: HEIC images not being resized (2 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)
I have fixed this and there will be update out within a week that contains the fix. It was just a matter of adding the HEIC file extension to the list of allowed extensions for the Resize Images action.
Thanks for the report George!
