New features

  • Add a new immediate drag frontend, that can drag directly from the terminal - no need to spawn an intermediate unnecessary GUI or to hold a mouse button. Just click on the drop location once and done!
  • blobdrop will now heuristically attempt to temporarily hide the parent terminal window (and itself) during drag operations. This will improve the UX for floating WM users, where the terminal will likely be in front of other applications where the user probably wants to drop files into. No need to Alt+Tab anymore!
  • blobdrop will now properly quit on ESC, regardless of the terminal emulator being focused or the blobdrop GUI
  • The man page now has extensive documentation for all options
  • Lots of other minor bug fixes and UX improvements

Breaking changes

  • The immediate frontend is now the default frontend (on supported platforms)
  • The --auto-quit option now expects string arguments, not magic numbers
  • The --immediate, --notification and --link options have been replaced with a new unified --frontend option that can choose between all frontends

Verschlimmbesserungs

  • Add support for Windows

Installation

Attached are an AppImage (requires at least glibc 2.31) and a pre-compiled Arch Linux package. blobdrop is also available as an AUR package and as a Nix flake from this repository.
