FilesDropper addresses those needs by providing a minimal, lightweight, and easily accessible multi-purpose UI.\n\n![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/853f70d2-c54e-47d2-b94c-866d70549d9f)\n\n**Become a power user too with the click of one button!** *(I hope I'm doing that marketing thing right)*\n\n## Features\n- Transparent overlay UI (always on top)\n- Copies info from files you drop onto it into your clipboard, then exits seamlessly\n- Auto-detects and ignores non-text files (prevents junk in clipboard)\n- Drag \u0026 Drop files and folders from within Visual Studio!\n- Provides THREE different ways to visualize your files\n- Right-click or press escape to exit instantly\n- For absolute transparency, releases are automated by github workflow\n- Single and portable EXE - no dependencies needed (-.NET runtime)\n\n---------------------\n\n## Three different modes:\n\n### Plain Text Mode\nWhen you drop files into the window, you get the content back as text, directly in your clipboard.\n\nhttps://github.com/user-attachments/assets/eef69c80-fe96-4d3b-ad3e-f0457b39fb81\n\n###### This can/will include whole directories (after your confirmation). Allows easy paste of whole projects.\n---------------------\n\n### File hierarchy mode (Ctrl+Drop)\nIf you hold `Ctrl` while dropping the files, you get back a visualization of the hierarchy instead of file contents.\n\nhttps://github.com/user-attachments/assets/04ccc65f-bbb8-4fdf-af65-9abf47069905\n\n###### Allows textual visualization of project structures for easy debugging. Check how pretty it looks on the ^ video!\n---------------------\n\n### Folder Info mode (Ctrl+Alt+Drop)\nWith `Ctrl+Alt+Drop`, you retrieve a hierarchical visualization of directories, including their size and file counts.\n\nhttps://github.com/user-attachments/assets/4476fa12-674d-4b24-9e0c-48019f4932f5\n\n###### The files are not rendered as icons in this mode, but as numbers instead. Useful to analyze and optimize large projects at a glance.\n---------------------\n\n## Usage\n1. Download the latest version from the [Github Releases Page](https://github.com/Lyrcaxis/FilesDropper/releases).\n2. (Optional, but highly recommended) Pin to Taskbar for easy access.\n3. Drop some files in! Hold `Ctrl` or `Ctrl+Alt` while dropping for different modes.\n4. The text will be copied onto your clipboard directly, and the app will automatically exit.\n\n![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d0c3fb67-5ace-40e7-a7aa-d4eebb19ee38)\n\u003c----- FilesDropper's rightful place\n\n**Tips for Safe Usage**\n- Clipboard contents can potentially be accessed by other applications on your system. While FilesDropper is completely safe, it's always a good idea to ensure your system is malware-free when working with sensitive data.\n- Make sure you're not using a heavily outdated browser. Modern browsers protect your clipboard from websites.\n- Only download applications from their official source. For FilesDropper, that's the [Github Releases page](https://github.com/Lyrcaxis/FilesDropper/releases).\n- For full transparency, this app's code is open source, and the build/upload are automated by Github from source. This section was not made to scare people, but rather to promote safe software usage and prevent mishaps.\n---------------------\n\n## Notes\n- FilesDropper should be able to handle symbolic links properly.\n- Color shifts indicate active mode (blue/purple/dark blue).\n- Files that can't be accessed are skipped, and an info dialog will notify you.\n- Sadly, I couldn't make it support VSCode. Open to contributions as it would be awesome!\n- Also, I'm not the **best** UI/UX designer. Your UI/UX improvements and ideas are welcome!\n\n## License\n- This project is licensed under the [MIT License](https://github.com/Lyrcaxis/FilesDropper/blob/main/LICENSE).\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Flyrcaxis%2Ffilesdropper","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Flyrcaxis%2Ffilesdropper","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Flyrcaxis%2Ffilesdropper/lists"}
