EraserDrop Portable 2.1 Released by PortableApps.comSubmitted by wraithdu on October 13, 2009 - 9:04am
Features
The image for the drop target can be changed on-the-fly. Simply choose a PNG graphic you like, place it in the Data\images directory, and select the image from the Open File dialog. The window will be sized accordingly. Transparency is supported! Hide the target by right-clicking and choose 'Hide', or press the hotkey. To bring it back, click the tray icon or use the hotkey (default is unset). The hotkey can be defined from the context menu. See the readme for details. EraserDrop also includes the ability to wipe the Recycle Bin and wipe drive free space. Right-click and use the 'Tasks' submenu. Flash Drive Note: Most modern flash drives use wear leveling to spread write operations out over a device. This interferes with EraserDrop's (and other secure deletion utilities) ability to wipe single files. Wiping an entire drive or erasing a file and then wiping free space should still work securely, though it will put additional wear on your drive. PortableApps.com Installer / PortableApps.com FormatEraserDrop Portable is packaged in a PortableApps.com Installer so it will automatically detect an existing PortableApps.com installation when your drive is plugged in. And it's in PortableApps.com Format, so it automatically works with the PortableApps.com Suite including the Menu and Backup Utility. DownloadEraserDrop Portable is available for immediate download from the EraserDrop Portable homepage. Get it today! ( categories: )

EraserDrop's target accepts any combination of files and folders. The target can be moved about the screen by holding the LEFT SHIFT key, LEFT-CLICKING the target, and dragging. The window position is saved, but will be corrected if it goes beyond screen boundaries - ie if you move from a screen with a high resolution to one with a lower resolution.
Thanks
Thanks for all your work on this one, Erik. I know it was a long time coming. So congratulations on your first public release!

Congrats wraithdu! Glad to see some of your work finally released and recognized.
Too many lonely hearts in the real world
Too many bridges you can burn
Too many tables you can't turn
Don't wanna live my life in the real world
ditto
I recently rediscovered this and use it a lot!

Replacement
So is this intended as a replacement for Erasure Portable or as a compliment to it?
Its an addition.
Eraser still has its advantages but this one has most of them too and sometimes I find it nice if I dont have to start Eraser but can just drop my files onto the Icon.

Either Or
Either way is fine. Some people will prefer the full interface of Eraser. Some will prefer the easy to use nature of EraserDrop.

Yay! But I still like the old name, Eraser Drop Target better.
Never trust an EXE, this means you...
Thanks everyone. It's a good
Thanks everyone. It's a good day
It already has 5 times as many downloads as all my betas ever did.
Keep them coming~
Congratulations on your release, wraithdu~!
Thanks!
I've been using Freeraser. This looks similar so I'll give i a try! Hopefully it's a bit faster.
Open Source
Functionally it's a bit more feature-rich as it has two additional destruction methods, including a more-secure DoD method. Additionally, it's open source and based on the very popular (and well-tested) Eraser, which is a huge plus with security tools.

EraserDrop Portable
this doesn't check out very well with VirusTotal
i certainly trust this site and what is offered here,
just curious why the poor showing with EraserDrop
This would be the reason...

Signature??? Isn't that the thing you write with a pen? Why would I want to put it here?
AutoIt Error
Line -1:
Error: Subscript used with non-Array variable
XP Pro MCE SP3 w/amd cpu running sharpe shell (explorer.exe is NOT running)
be nice to see what it can do, or rather undo.
Until then, migale eraser is the schnitz for portable data deletion.
I'll take a look. However
I'll take a look. However I'm not officially supporting 3rd party shell replacements. They mess with too many things when you have an application interacting with the desktop / explorer.
