- | === Abbreviation: === | ||

- | === Action: === | ||

- | To decide what will be processed with an ''Action'', you need to define how your files and folders will be filtered by DropIt. You can do it defining some Rules for your ''Association''. They can be Rules with normal syntax (you can find some examples from the "Rule Settings" button in that field), or can be ''Regular Expressions'' (for advanced users, they can be enabled from the "Rule Settings" button). | ||

- | === Target image / Floating icon: === | ||
- | DropIt uses a special minimalist interface. It is defined as Target Image or Floating Icon. It floats on your screen and you can also move it with drag&drop. To process files and folders, you simply have to drop them on the Target Image. You can right click it to open the ''Main Context Menu''. You can also modify and change the Target Image from ''Profiles >> Customize''. |
