1 SliTaz Drag N' Drop tool
2 ================================================================================
5 TazDrop is a small window which can run in a corner of a screen and as an
6 expanded panel and let you Drag N' Drop any kind of content and perform an
7 action on it. If you drop an URL to a site it will open a browser to its
8 location, if the URL is a file (tarball, ISO, PDF, etc) it will download it.
9 It can also handle email addresses, SliTaz Packages (drop one on TazDrop and
10 it will install it) and if you drop a folder it will create a tar.bz2 archive
11 of it. You can even drop one of its options, try to drop: --notes
13 Note: This tool is separate from tazboxes since it runs permanently and has
14 quite a few lines of code.
17 Auto start the DND window
18 -------------------------
19 To start TazDrop with your Window manager you have to put these lines in your
20 autostart script (For Openbox: ~/.config/openbox/autostart) to have a DND
21 window with some text:
23 # TazDrop Drag N' Drop handler
24 tazdrop --dnd &
26 To use an image as DND box, you can configure the image path via tazdrop.conf:
28 # TazDrop Drag N' Drop handler
29 tazdrop --dnd-image &
