Hiccups on the path to greatness...
Published on April 2, 2007 By CerebroJD In Docks
Well, we're now into the beta testing phase for the popular graphical shortcut and taskbar replacement, ObjectDock!  However, with all developement, there are growing pains as well.  Its best to get them all gathered together here in one place, where the developer can pop in and keep us all up to speed on changes and fixes.

Without further ado, I declare this thread open for business!

WOW, been playing with the newest beta and I am just getting more impressed. Thank You !~!



*.. Jeff, wanted to point out messiah1.wincustomize.com and his newest docks, both tabbed & nontabbed. He has used gradients as well as made great looking single tabs. I had stopped using tabs bc I only wanted 1 tab and other skins looked awful with just 1.

I have upgraded and now clicking on any of my taskbar icon in OD don't bring the application windows to foreground (or minimise). Any ideas? Is it just me?Ian

Open the OD configuration & select General options and Miscellaneous options and make sure to check...when a shortcut is run, if program is already running bring it to the foreground only

IanAdd: is your dock on the top or left side of the screen? We were tracking a bug around that, new update should be going up later on today.

At least it's easy for me to get to WC. All I have to do is click any OD icon that goes to a URL and I get here...
Take your time, I can wait for the update. Thanks!

It's on the left side of my primary monitor.

The change to shortcut setting is not appropriate, that does something else which I don't want anyway. I did try it just to check tho

..And if I move the dock to the bottom of the screen it works, so you are on the right track.

Psyke! Update's actually coming tomorrow morning...not tonight. Hoping this can be the final beta for v1.6, I'm very happy that incidents seem to be low other than the few biggie-obvious ones that popped up / were taken care of quickly. I'll post here when it's up on SDC, i'd imagine before 1pm EST. Thanks for all your help in testing everyone hope enjoyed the sneak peak at the new tech

Jeff: Yep, the taskbar dock was on the left and the sys tray on the top. Both under 128. Thanks for your work. OD+ has been an indispensable program for me since it was very first released (in beta). I love it. Thanks again.

Two issues with OD build 531u on Vista 32bit:

1) I see there is a new feature called "Use minimize animation in Vista". What is this supposed to do exactly? Turning it on or off has no effect. I still get the same old Vista minimize animation which appears to be minimizing it to the next free position on the (hidden) taskbar. I presume this feature is supposed to replace the default Vista animation with one that actually minimizes it with animation to its position on the dock?

2) I've notice that even though I have "Always show windows as thumbnails" checked in Vista and show minimized windows on the dock, I either get only the icon and not a thumbnail OR I get the full sized icon over top of the thumbnail instead of the thumbnail and small icon in lower right. This was actually a problem with this same feature in OD 1.5 Plus under XP.

Screen shot attached... Note how after repeated opening and minimizing, one of the Samurize applications icons is covering the thumbnail. The other is working properly. I have not set an image association for this application or either running instance.

I'm seeing something that Lotherius mentioned in reply #58: The mouse cursor occasionally freezes while OD+ is running. It usually happens when applications (including OD itself) are in the process of displaying menus. Once the complete menu is displayed, the mouse cursor un-freezes.

  Windows zoom in and out if you have teh video card and Vista version to handle it.  It's very cool.

rickbert: does the mouse cursor itself freeze? or does just ObjectDock's zoomign freeze? Thanks!
