Blobdrop\n\n[![Continuous Integration](https://github.com/vimpostor/blobdrop/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/vimpostor/blobdrop/actions/workflows/ci.yml)\n\nDrag and drop your files directly from the terminal.\n\nhttps://github.com/vimpostor/blobdrop/assets/21310755/1957b6a7-475c-4930-80b9-18564ef39eb9\n\n\n# Installation\n\nNote: For Arch Linux users there is an [AUR package](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/blobdrop-git), for Nix users there is a [flake](flake.nix) available and an official package in [nixpkgs](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/by-name/bl/blobdrop/package.nix).\nYou can also download an AppImage from the [latest release](https://github.com/vimpostor/blobdrop/releases/latest).\n\n## Building from source\n\nMake sure you have a C++23 compiler and the latest Qt with the Declarative and Svg modules installed.\n\n```bash\ncmake -B build\ncmake --build build\n\n# install the build/blobdrop binary\ncmake --install build\n```\n\n# Usage\n\n```bash\nblobdrop [files-to-drag]\n```\n\nFor more options see `blobdrop -h` or the man page `blobdrop(1)`.\n\n## Features\n\n- Drag files to other applications\n- Pipe filenames asynchronously into stdin\n- Start drag automatically without a GUI\n- Hide the parent terminal emulator while dragging\n- Automatically quit once all paths have been dragged\n- Auto-hide the GUI while dragging\n- Show mime icons and thumbnails for media\n- Drag all files at once\n- Act as a sink and print dropped files to the terminal\n- Optionally keep the window on top\n- Quickly open files with a single click\n- Respect system dark mode\n- Shell completions\n\n### Frontends\n\nBlobdrop implements multiple frontends to drag the files from:\n\n- [From a normal window](https://github.com/vimpostor/blobdrop/assets/21310755/d86f5039-05cd-4444-9e43-cc51cf4073db)\n- [Inside a desktop notification](https://github.com/vimpostor/blobdrop/assets/21310755/482b4bc1-2f15-43e3-b980-1f573c494a91), using the `x-kde-urls` Notifications extension\n- [As an immediate drop to a click location](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/21310755/266832800-519773b6-d154-4fd7-9faf-dfb25217055c.mp4), this works on all EWMH-compliant window managers\n- As clipboard content, allowing to paste the file URIs to other programs\n- As an [OSC8 hyper link](https://github.com/vimpostor/blobdrop/commit/3ba601c690571460fc8cd130abb57c7a15c67cf1) in the terminal emulator, but currently there exists no terminal emulator that can drag and drop OSC8 links\n\n# Alternatives\n\n- [dragon](https://github.com/mwh/dragon) - A GTK implementation of the same concept\n- [clidrag](https://github.com/rkevin-arch/CLIdrag) - A CLI-only implementation\n- [ripdrag](https://github.com/nik012003/ripdrag) - Like dragon with GTK, but rewritten in Rust\n\nNote that none of these alternatives provide a workflow similar to blobdrop's immediate frontend (except clidrag, but it lacks many UX improvements).\n","funding_links":[],"categories":["C++"],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fvimpostor%2Fblobdrop","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fvimpostor%2Fblobdrop","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fvimpostor%2Fblobdrop/lists"}
