Not really a request, as I don't intend to install QT in the near future Wink

But someone with a QT build environment might be interested in packaging this tiny dropbox client http://lawand.github.com/droper/downloads.html

I tried to build in these days

no missing dependencies, however:

when i type:

qmake

a warning is shown about consumerdata.cpp (not found) and an error is produced in final step

Ah - well done.
Are you able to share how to build a consumerdata.cpp (you don't have to show an actual consumer key and secret)?

Excuse my ignorance, but in order to use this app, does dropbox itself have to be installed?

No, this does not require the normal Dropbox client - it is a lightweight alternative to that.

Thanks for the information, Dingo. Lucky the Droper author is so much more helpful than the dropbox people!

Thanks. Need to give this a try. Dropbox is currently a 39MB install, though I currently run it as an sfs.

I know I can download a file from my Dropbox folder with Droper, but is it possible to download multiple files from my Dropbox folder as well, can I actually download folders from my Dropbox folder using Droper? I am using Droper 0.3.4

Could you please clarify what you are asking? Are you asking about downloading multiple files all in one go, rather than one at a time?

rmcellig · Posted: Thu 05 Jul 2012, 05:13 Post subject:

Yes. Multiple files as well as folders. It seems I can only download one file at a time? Maybe I'm wrong here? I like Droper. Very simple.

Those are features the author mentioned they were considering... after they dropped support for desktop OSs Sad

I looked at the changes in the code in later versions, and I think it wouldn't be too hard to get the various improvements into a desktop OS version (even I might be able to do it;)), but obviously that wouldn't help for features which aren't yet in the latest version.
BTW I remember the feature that was most obviously missing for me was drag-and-drop support.

Yes. Drag and Drop support would be the icing on the cake. To be able to drag from/to the Droper window would be awesome for sure Smile
