OD 1.6 Beta Bug Reports
Hiccups on the path to greatness...
Monday, April 2, 2007 by CerebroJD | Discussion: 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!

c242: oh yeah, yeah zooming docks only currently. I have interest in doing something for tabbed docks as well... just wasn't positive how I wanted it to look so hadn't put it in. I guess the option might just turn off "tabs-always-on-top" when there's a maximized app? Since docks are usually autohidden anyways.

Yes, both docks are on the left side of my screen, and the magnification settings are under 128 pixels.

1) With the new systray dock, I no longer have any right click function for my dialup connection icon.
2) I have one tabbed dock set at the top of monitor #2. If I set this dock to "Reserve edge of screen", the dock moves down below the area the dock occupied before.
When it rolls up, it acts as if the edge of the screen is 100 pixels below the actual edge.
It can't be moved up, (even after turning off the Reserve edge of screen), until OD is unloaded, and restarted.
This is minor, since a restart appears to correct the problem, but I can see this really confusing someone............ (someone like me
)

Don't see that option anywhere in the zoomer dock config........? Not that I'm really interested in it, just wondering why I don't see it.
But what if the tabbed dock isn't set to autohide? Sometimes I set mine to autohide, but usually not.

New mode: "keep on top, hiding off-screen for maximized applications"

Anew OD+ problem for me! When I click on an icon to go to an internet shortcut, it always takes me to the WinCustomize 'test' home page. I have a dock entry to take me to my msn.com mailbox, always worked perfectly 'til the latest upgrade of OD+, Dock Entry Properties/Link says the proper link for my msn.com mail acct, but it goes to WC home/test page. I have a shortcut to my ISP where I can check my quarantined emails and my current on-server mail if I wish. It's the home page for http://home.ida.net. Clicking on that icon/link in OD+ now only takes me to WC home/test page. The Dock entry Properties/Link is filled in correctly but the icon, when clicked on, always goes to WC home/test page. Been doing it now since the OD+ upgrade. Beginning to be annoying... What can I do?

Now my Photobucket shortcut's doing it too. Dock Entry Properties/Link says the link to my Photobucket acct, as usual, but OD+ ignores that and when I click on the dock icon to go to Photobucket, it takes me to the WC home/test page! 
What up w/that?

Now THAT'S customer-support feedback! Thanks, JMB. Your program is the best part of this site, as are the artists/coders/other magic-makers with the backgrounds, icons, docklets. OD+ makes my entire PC experience enjoyable and efficient. What a crew!

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.

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
