I created Drag N Drop basically to test myself and see if I could learn how to recognize files and folders and work with a drag and drop interface. A graphic designer/programmer friend of mine who has a Mac made something similar and is always bragging about how great Macs are so I sorta wanted to show him PCs can have a nice drag and drop GUI too.
Drag N Drop is made to make maintaining an Installer.app repository easier (though it has countless uses). When a .zip file is dragged onto the drop zone its MD5 CheckSum, UNIX TimeStamp, and filesize in KB are displayed with easy-to-use copy buttons (see pic 2). A slightly more beta feature (that I’m not really working on but would be willing to if someone wanted it) is the ability to drop a .artwork file onto the drop zone. Drag N Drop will then unzip the .artwork file into a separate folder of .png images. When this folder is dropped onto the drop zone, it is zipped back up into a .artwork file. Right now this only works with Other.artwork files and there are a lot of unhandled errors and exceptions that can occur so I would recommend using my iPhoneShop application to deal with .artwork files.
It’s also worth mentioning that the Drop Here image (along with pretty much all of the images in my applications) was created by Allen of planet-iphones.com.
