PIL just kept crashing on me, so here’s a version without PIL:

Replace in def pictureDropped:
if os.path.exists(url):
qIcon = QtGui.QIcon()
qIcon.addPixmap(QtGui.QPixmap(url), QtGui.QIcon.Normal, QtGui.QIcon.Off)
item = QtGui.QListWidgetItem(os.path.basename(url)[:20] + “…”, self.ui.listView)
item.setStatusTip(url)
item.setIcon(qIcon)

i would like to thank you for this post. it indeed saved me at least 2 day of search and try.
although i want to mention that your “if event.mimeData().hasUrls:” is allways true as (i think) that you test for the method of mimeData(). i guess you wanted to test whether the thing you are draging is some kind of file. thus you should test “if event.mimeData().hasUrls():”, which tests the actual presence of an url in the mimeData.

5. [...] You won’t be able to change any preferences anymore after performing the ensuing steps so change you Terminal to suit your tastings as well such as setting transparency.

You can just use the keyboard-shortcut apple-, for opening the preferences. You’re also able to make new windows of the “traditional” kind with apple-n.

Thank you – finally I have m yakuake replacement for the Mac .

Your tips did not work right out of the box though. So let me point out what I had to change to make it work:

1. Step 7: String not number type for LSUIElement

LSUIElement
1

2. Step 8: tell application “VisorTerminal” – not “UserTerminal”

3. I don’t know if this was really necessary, but I changed a few more strings from terminal to VisorTerminal in the plists of Visor.bundle and VisorTerminal (like suggested here: http://www.metaskills.net/2009/8/18/visor-terminal-on-snow-leopard)
