Drop Spot plugin - Xyzzy - 09-13-2006 What do you think?: A plugin being a place on toolbar, where you can drop files (via drag&drop) to perform different actions, like run a batch resize on images or run proper player depending on file type. Sometimes it is most convenient to simply drag a file from file manager to perform some action on file. How it looks like Just like a normal icon on toolbar. I think adding optionally some recessed frame around icon would help to differentiate it from other items. Features - Support for dragging multiple files with confgurable handling of dragged items, like creating temporary file list with file names to feed some command line program if needed. - Support for configuring different actions depending on factors such as: file type file path&name file size number of files etc. - Possiblity to talk with other programs via DDE (fe. for adding files to filelist of already playing player) X. - Anam Cara - 09-16-2006 Looks good. I was thinking of something similar where a drop spot would copy files to pre-configured locations depending on filetype. - Yuri Kobets - 09-16-2006 Thank you very much for suggestion. This is very interesting idea. Usually I drop all files to the desktop and desktop become ugly. This plugin can help ![]() I'll release this plugin soon. But I need to update TLB before, to support drop into plugin feature. |
