ZestDrop v0.0.2

This update adds the ZestDrop icon and easier shortcuts for desktop file drags.

What's new

  • Shift opens the conversion menu while dragging a file from the desktop or File Explorer.
  • Ctrl+Shift opens the tools menu. Pressing Ctrl after Shift switches to tools immediately.
  • Once the menu appears, you can release the keyboard keys and keep holding the mouse button until dropping onto an operation.
  • F8/F9 remain available as alternative shortcuts.
  • Modifier shortcuts require mouse movement from a shell file window; ordinary Shift typing does not open the menu. Non-file drags are dismissed, and Escape cancels the menu for the current drag.
  • Switching menus preserves the dragged files and keeps operations in copy mode so originals are preserved.
  • New application, tray, and window icons, with nine sizes from 16px to 256px.
  • Updated README and tray instructions.

Download and upgrade

Download ZestDrop-v0.0.2-windows-x64.zip, extract the entire archive, and run ZestDrop.exe from the ZestDrop folder. Keep its backend, runtime, and DLLs together. The bundle includes .NET, Python, FFmpeg, 7-Zip, and the required Python libraries.

Before upgrading, finish or cancel current jobs and quit the old application from its tray menu. Extract this version into a fresh directory and launch it. A SHA-256 checksum is attached.

Requirements and validation

  • Windows x64; the interface is currently in Chinese.
  • Office layout exports require the corresponding desktop Microsoft PowerPoint, Word, or Excel application.
  • The executable is unsigned. There is no installer, auto-update, or startup registration.
  • Shortcut state checks cover modifier ordering, held keys, Escape, and unrelated mouse/keyboard interactions. Actual file-drag events have also been observed with the new shortcuts; broader testing across Explorer configurations and display scaling is still needed.
  • Existing PDF/OCR and multi-frame image limitations continue to apply; see the usage guide.
