paul@560 5 TazDrop is a small window which can run in a corner of a screen and as an
paul@560 6 expanded panel and let you Drag N' Drop any kind of content and perform an
paul@560 7 action on it. If you drop an URL to a site it will open a browser to its
al@813 8 location, if the URL is a file (tarball, ISO, PDF, etc) it will download it.
paul@560 9 It can also handle email addresses, SliTaz Packages (drop one on TazDrop and
paul@560 10 it will install it) and if you drop a folder it will create a tar.bz2 archive
paul@560 11 of it. You can even drop one of its options, try to drop: --notes
pankso@556 12
paul@560 13 Note: This tool is separate from tazboxes since it runs permanently and has
paul@560 14 quite a few lines of code.
