Had a nice Idea, while cleaning my Desktop from old files/Downloads etc.
A floating Icon for droping Files/Folders, which opens a menu with configured Move/Copy(while holding Ctrl+drop) Paths.
- with Window Levels: Normal, OnTop, Desktop
- lock/unlock position of icon
- png skin support/Transparency Slider/Icon Size Slider
Would make move/copy actions much more easier.

http://customdesktoplogo.wikidot.com/This seems like it could be an extension of Custom Desktop Logo so I added in drop folder capability into Custom Desktop Logo V2.0. Screenshots below:  1  2  3  4  5  6 With the drop folder option enabled in the tray icon or the settings panel, you can move the logos around as well as still have them animated or static. Custom Desktop Logo uses PNG images so it does alpha blending on the graphics to make them look smooth when displayed on the desktop. Multi-monitor support should also work. Hold down CTRL while drag and dropping to copy instead of moving. Change the paths of the target folders in the "Drop Folder" tab of the settings panel. You can specify an alternate name for the folders or leave the name field blank to tell Custom Desktop Logo to display the folder path. Click on the logo itself to get a list of your target folders that you can simply open. All the file copying and moving operations are done in a multi-threaded fashion so you can perform multiple copy/move operations at the same time. There are a couple of limitations with the drop folder capability right now. (1) I hard coded the program to limit it to 20 drop folders in the list. (2) I would like to have a copy/move status indicator for large operations. Download Custom Desktop Logo 2.0 at http://customdesktoplogo.wikidot.com/. Source code is included on the source code download page (written in C#). Requires .Net 2.0 Framework or later to run it.

That is weird. Are you on XP or Vista?

I just tested on XP & Vista. Seems for some reason it runs on Vista but not XP. I'll try debugging it.

Hmm, I don't think it should matter where it's placed. I have taken down version 2.0 while I try to find out what's wrong since I know version 1.0 works fine on XP and Vista. I've recently switched over to Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Pro from Express and I think it mucked up some of the compilation settings.

It is definitely something funky with Visual Studio 2008 Pro. Still figuring this one out.
As for the settings panel, click the minimize button to make it go away instead of the X button, which will close the program.

Alright, I've reuploaded Custom Desktop Logo V2.0 to the website: http://customdesktoplogo.wikidot.com/downloadI've tested it on XP & Vista and looks to be running fine now. For some reason Visual Studio Pro is compiling the program differently than with Express so I compiled this as a release edition. Tell me if there is any other problems getting it to start up. |

Glad it works now. I think you may have posted the wrong image of the Cat because the one you attached doesn't have a transparent background. I'm seeing white. |

@skrommel NICE! a spartan way to setting up, but it works.
improvements:
-small gui with Transparency Slider/Icon Size Slider,
-right-click-menu for icon to change the icon and del/add Folders and maybe recently used Folders, Window Level setting, Lock/UNlock position
-alpha blending for png files
-Ctrl+Shift+Drop a Folder to add Folder to the List
- a way to chose a Folder Path and name the menu item diffrently. exmpl. C:\privat\blah\temp, Menu Namen= Temp Folder
- save last position/change position for start
@VideoInPicture
Very good implementation of the Idea, but with .Net Framework 2.0 anyway, great work.
Looks more userfriendly to me.
Edit: worked first time, now crashing while right-click on trayicon and sometime at the start.
Edit2: How to close Configuration Window without closing the program? O_o
Edit3: Crash appears after starting the program but in a diffrent location.
)Edit4: Possible png alpha-transperancy with gdi+ [http://www.autohotkey.net/~tic/Gdip.Tutorial.3-Create.Gui.From.Image.ahk])

Nope the problems are gone! thx.
suggestions:
-Lock/Unlock Position right-click-menu item
-Ctrl+Shift+Drop Folder to add FolderPath as one new Location (maybe with Folder-Name prompt)
Edit: When the file is already in the Move-Location, the program should warn you about Overwritting the file/files/folders.. etc.

There are two programs from http://www.codesector.com/ that I use everyday that do just about everything you are talking about. TeraCopy Free utility designed to copy/move files faster and more secure. Can resume broken file transfers. Direct Folders Quick access to your favorite folders and files. Jump to any deeply nested folder in a single mouse click. Both are available anytime, anywhere in your system when you are working on files, not just on the desktop. Great time savers. |

Actually Teracopy does what the others do in 2 clicks or less also. Directfolders complements the program by allowing you to find or make a directory quickly if you are not sure where you want to put the files. |
