17 <h2>SliTaz Drag N' Drop tool</h2>
19 <p>TazDrop is a small window which can run in a corner of a screen and as an
20 expanded panel and let you Drag N' Drop any kind of content and perform an
21 action on it. If you drop an URL to a site it will open a browser to its
22 location, if the URL is a file (tarball, ISO, PDF, etc) it will download it.
23 It can also handle email addresses, SliTaz Packages (drop one on TazDrop and
24 it will install it) and if you drop a folder it will create a tar.bz2 archive
25 of it. You can even drop one of its options, try to drop: <tt>--notes</tt></p>
27 <p><b>Note:</b> This tool is separate from tazboxes since it runs permanently
28 and has quite a few lines of code.</p>
31 <h2>Auto start the DND window</h2>
33 <p>To start TazDrop with your Window manager you have to put these lines in your
34 autostart script (For Openbox: <tt>~/.config/openbox/autostart</tt>) to have
35 a DND window with some text:</p>
37 <pre>
38 # TazDrop Drag N' Drop handler
39 tazdrop --dnd &
40 </pre>
42 <p>To use an image as DND box, you can configure the image path via
43 <tt>tazdrop.conf</tt>:</p>
45 <pre>
46 # TazDrop Drag N' Drop handler
47 tazdrop --dnd-image &
48 </pre>
51 <h2>Misc notes</h2>
53 <ul>
54 <li>Dropped folders will be archived to tar.bz2</li>
55 <li>Text content is written to <tt>$HOME/.cache/tazdrop.notes</tt></li>
56 <li>Applications are logically configurable as well as the tool behaviour</li>
