Application: EraserDrop
Category: Security
Description: EraserDrop is a drop target to easily and securely wipe files and folders using the Eraser API.
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.
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.
EraserDrop Portable has been release as an official PortableApps package. Please find it among the package downloads. Thanks everyone for your support!

Uhm... I think the splash screen should be the one John gave you and not the development test one that is currently here.
May the Shwartz be with you
Awww nuts. I must've recompiled the launcher before I replaced the splash in the source directory. Doh.
Fixed.
Just some further internal optimizations I've been meaning to get around to.
I'm happy with this version now for final release.
John, anything else need to be done to get this ready for final release? I'm happy with this version and no bugs have been posted. If we're ready to go I'll compile a final installer for you.
I think we're good. I'll get it in the set of updates this week as long as you're happy with it. Let me know if there's anything else you want in the main description of features.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Nope, I think I'm good. Let me check through everything one last time tomorrow and compile a final version. I'll post back when it's ready. Should I just post it in this topic, or send you a link by email?
Ok, it's ready. I checked over everything again and compiled a final version. Let me know how I should get it to you.
Just drop me the link via email. The standard developer email address on the contact page.
