Description:

A zip utility with an extremely minimalist interface.

Well, what can I say? Run it and follow the tooltip :-)

To move ZD, you grab it by the edge. It's a bit tricky but it can be done. Quit ZD (see below) and it will remember its position.

Drag files and folders onto ZD to start your collection. Folders will be zipped with all their contents, recursively.

When you are ready to zip the collection, middle-click on ZD. Sorry, two-button mouse owners (both of you?). If you select an existing zip file, it will be freshened and any new files will be added to it.

To quit, right-click on ZD.

ZD is set to appear on all Workspaces but not in the Deskbar. Get it in place, put a link to it in  /boot/home/config/boot/launch and you won't believe it's not a replicant :-)

New in V0.1.1: No longer requires ncurses, Binary and yab source included.

Oops, forgot to mention that like all yab apps, it requires ncurses.

If ZipDropper is the first yab program to be launched, it prevents all subsequent ones from being visible in the Deskbar or the Switcher. This will be fixed in the next version. For now, just right-click on the executable, then select Add-ons, FileType and deselect "Background app". Restart ZipDropper and all will be well.

This is the problem of all apps compiled in YAB. They're grouped into first run proggy in taskbar. ie. If You run firstly ExtractNow and then file for example ExtractOne.. extractone will be in extractnow tab on deskbar..

zipDropper is a nice idea, but can you add a config part to setup the position of the dropzone?
