DRAGON(1)

💜 DRAGON(1) — bestie, it's the dragon-drop page

okay so you're in the General Commands Manual, section 1, and the star of the show is dragon-drop. she's literally right here. let's go 🐉

🌸 NAME 🌸

dragon-drop — the lightweight DnD source/target. that's it, that's the name, no notes 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

dragon-drop [-x] [-t] [-k] [-p] [-a] [-A] [-i] [-T] [-I] [-s] [-v]
FILENAME

dragon-drop [--help]

dragon-drop [--version]

like, you give her a FILENAME and some flags, or you just hit her with --help or --version and she's like "say less" 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so picture this: dragon-drop is a source and a sink for drag-and-drop operations. literally both. main character energy.

here's the tea 🍓 — a lot of programs, especially web applications, now expect you to drag files into them. and if you're someone who doesn't habitually use a file manager?? that's a whole problem. a crisis, even. 😭

so Dragon creates a small window instead — a cute little zone you can drag out of, or drop files into. that's the whole vibe ngl. problem solved, no file manager required ✨

💖 OPTIONS 💖

so many little flags to play with, let's go through them one by one, no skipping, we don't do that here 🎀

• -x, --and-exit — she dips after a single completed drop. one drop and she's out, periodt 💀
• -t, --target — flip the script: act as a target instead of a source.
• -k, --keep — with --target, keep the files around so you can drag them back out. hoarding? no, curating 💅
• -p, --print-path — with --target, print file paths instead of URIs. paths, not URIs, don't mix them up bestie.
• -a, --all — drag all files at once. all of them. at the same time. icon behaviour 👑
• -A, --all-compact — also drags all files at once, but only displays the number of files. minimal, mysterious, slay.
• -i, --icon-only — only show icons in the drag-and-drop windows. no clutter, just vibes 🦋
• -T, --on-top — make the window always-on-top. she refuses to be buried, honestly same.
• -I, --stdin — read filenames from stdin. piping in, iykyk.
• -s, --thumb-size — set the thumbnail size (default 96). yes, 96 is the default, don't come for me 🔥
• -v, --verbose — be verbose. she'll tell you things. 💬
• --help — show help. when in doubt 🫶
• --version — show version details. the lore 🌈

ngl that's the entire option list — nothing hidden, nothing extra, we're keeping every single one exactly as it is, always 💜

⭐ a lil sign-off ⭐
