frogDroplets per gli editor di testo Mac by Shiny Frog

Shiny Droplet

Shiny droplets è disponibile al pubblico!

Cosa è Shiny Droplets?

Shiny Droplets è un insieme di piccole applicazioni che si integrano con la toolbar del finder fornendo un rapido accesso ai vostri editor di testo preferiti.

Come funziona?

Per una spiegazione chiara e veloce basta guardare il nostro screencast di 1 minuto!

Features:

  • I files trascinati su uno dei droplet verranno aperti tutti nella stessa finestra dell'editor, tramite tab o buffers (solo se l'editor supporta tali funzioni).
  • Con un click sul droplet i files selezionati nel finder si apriranno in finestre differenti dell'editor
  • Integrazione con il finder (aspetto grafico dei droplet e lettura dei file selezionati).
  • Shiny Droplets è una serie di programmi gratuiti e open source!

Feedback:

Il vostro editor preferito non è supportato? Preferite un diverso comportamento del droplet? Vi piace tutto di Shiny Droplets? Lasciate un commento per farcelo sapere... ci aiuterete a migliorare Shiny Droplets

Thanks for the feedback, we're planning to make a second release with some more editors in a near future.

Ah yes, and you shoud probably support Mac OS X's own Texteditor - TextEdit. For some people it does the job.

At least my opinion. Great job btw!

Hi there

This is great work!

Do you have a "droplet" for launching Terminal like the App ">cd to.."

Nice job!!

Should be very nice to have an icon that contains all this droplets and shows them as a "drop down menu", so you don't have to use much horizontal space in your finder window to have all of them...

Hello Oscar,
Your idea is great, unfortunately can't be done with simple .app files, but with some more sophisticated tecnique (e.g. pathfinder)

Really great, thanks. One thing, perhaps you can add instructions in text with the download rather than have a video show how to install.

Thanks for your piece of advice Bobis, we add text instructions ASAP.

Nice, but...

The icons aren't a high enough resolution to look good - they appear blurred.

Also, I have my Finder window set to use 'small icons' - they resize to be smaller than the rest of the buttons (I'm not sure who or what is at 'fault' here though).

Functionally sound; aesthetics need improvement.

Thanks!

The icons appear blurred only in the finder view, for the real use (put them in finder toolbar) the resolution is correct :)

That's true, but the icons are resized by the Finder, there is nothing to do about that...

Thanks for the feedback!

How about support for PC editors running on the MAC using Parallels or Fusion?

In addition to those already listed, how about adding Bean (for rich text format) and Komodo Edit (for text and source code).

Why not simply drag the App of interest to the Finder window Toolbar? An icon/Alias for the App will be created.

I wanted to create my own Shiny Droplet but for AppZapper. So i took the source and got it to compile but when i add it to the finder toolbar and drop an app over the droplet nothing happens.
I think it has something to do with the .plist file inside the app bundle. Could you point me to the right direction please? (I will send you the source when finished...if needed)

Nevermind, got it working now. But i took a different approach.
