Yeah, that's me — and a very high-end microphone that I managed to borrow from someone. ;) The mic made all the difference.
A hack for getting good audio on screencasts: sit in a closet with a blanket over your head while you record the audio. It makes even a built-in Mac mic sound good.
Hello, a quick question... my Mac cannot be upgraded to Lion. Is there a slight possibility of making it work for Snow Leopard? And if not - I would like to know - just for general interest :) - what is the blocker.
Partially Apple's fault, undoubtedly, but are you deliberately redirecting people to the App Store? Or is that some freebie that comes with embedding an App Store link/banner?
I can't get the gesture to work reliably on a (magic) trackpad, and with a mouse I usually don't bother to use D&D. Also, you cannot stash things and then move them to the desktop, which is my #1 use case. If you put things into Dragon Drop, then reveal the desktop, the Dragon Drop window will move out of sight too.
Also, maybe bloat but can u add plug-in system so we can have things like a right click with send to twitter, imgur, pastebin, etc?
im sure you can think long and hard about a better user experience than a right click, maybe whatever 'providers' you choose can appear as a logo to the right of the main dragondrop box, and you can drop on them if u want to upload to them. Or if you drop it in the regular dragondrop box, u can just click on the relevant logo.
Also can you add a buffer of say the last 10 or so items copied, like a stack. That way if i am composing something i can chuck a load of things in dragondrop then yank them back in reverse order, or all at once.
Oh yeah and maybe can do other stuff with this buffer, like zipping if its a loada files. You can then drag the zipped file off, or concatenating PDFs if its a load of pdfs. Or uploading an imgur album if its a load of pictures. Watch out for that bloat :p
Anyways just some ideas man, good luck great app. I'm sure it can be even better!

Absolutely correct, the wiggle does make it happen. One of those "Why didn't I think of it" interaction technique. Kudos to the developer. Just a (very) minor change will make it better for me: slightly less opacity for the pop up window. On an 11inch Macbook Air, I think it'll help. I just bought the app, it's fantastic and worth every penny.
I have problems performing a "correct" wiggle, especially on my trackpad. Corners would be more reliable.

Nope. This is not about copy/paste at all. Windows and Mac lets you drag objects and drop them on target. This works in normal scenario where the object you are trying to drag and the target are easy to identify. It gets very difficult if your target is hard to reach. This app has a brilliant new UI which makes those drag-n-drop operations super easy. Please see the demo video to understand the app: http://www.youtub…
Sorry, what I meant to say isn't this simply equivalent to copy and paste? In windows at least: http://superuser.com/a/252104 I can think of only a few scenarios where dropping is the only option and pasting isn't available - but clearly those scenarios were real pain points for people!
Any ways - congrats; but not for me :-)

An alternative use-case would be when using a program such as Adobe Photoshop, rather than launching Photoshop, clicking File, open, navigating to your desired directory, selecting which files to open the pressing open; if you already have the directory open, drag the files onto the Photoshop icon and it'll open them.
Anyway, extremely interesting to see, so thanks for not all downvoting my ignorance immediately!
Well done as well to the OP for battling and getting his app released. Seems as though the hard work is paying off!
I wonder (judging from other comments) if people know the hack whereby you can start a d'n'd and then use command-tab to switch apps while dragging. Saves a lot of grief.
