winegold

A hackable drag and drop tool built with web technology

Winegold is a swiss army knife for every drag and drop. It is built on Electron.

3 steps to use winegold:

1. Download the favorite CLI app you love to use
2. Create a simple trigger for it
3. And that's it! You can use every terminal/shell/CLI with a simple UI

• Read the script documentation

Yes, I expected to be simple as this example.

One drag and drop, detecting what to do with this file. Or asking what you want to do with the files you've just dragged.

What you can do with winegold

• Convert a file in multiple formats
• Process multiple files
• Use autolaunch feature to make a "one move drag and drop" easier than ever
• Convert your old shell script to a nice trigger who writes output in a file.
• Read content of a file and use it to do evil 🙈
• Use JavaScript or bash (equal everything!), what is your favorite flavor ?
• Create your own scripts to use you drag and drop box

What we want to do

This is a wanted feature

Detect the kind of file you added, and give you a way to process it. So, I need to create a way to handle conversion cli tools (like Calibre ebook-convert, ImageMagick) into a multi-platform downloadable dependency on the need.

If you want to convert a kind of file, dependencies are downloaded if you need, and your file is processed.

Other (& simpler) todo:

• See the todo page.

Everything is scripting

We want to put file into the center of everything.

For this example, here is the script you describing how everthing works :

name: Convert to mobi

trigger :
  fileExtension:
   - pdf
   - epub

cmd:
  exec: ebook-convert {{file}} {{file}}.mobi --verbose

autolaunch: true

To understand, this script executes the shell command ebook-convert when a PDF or EPUB is found, and convert it to mobi. You need to have ebook-convert on your computer to use this script, but we work on another way to do this.

This script auto launch the command when file is dragged.

As you can see, we using YAML to provide a human readable kind of file.

You can add your own script by dragging a script called "myscript.add.yml". This action adds a trigger and a command for your own needs.

• Know more about who YAML works
