A question about ObjectDock Plus
Tuesday, June 19, 2007 by MetalGear08 | Discussion: ObjectDock
I am considering upgrading to Plus, but I had one big question: can I group shortcuts and files together into groups?(Kinda like OSX Leopard's stacks)The reason I ask is because I can't seem to get a straight answer off the info page, and my current Dock is filled to the brim, so grouping would really help. If Plus does allow me to group things, then I'm buying it immediately.

You can create seperate tabs for groups of things.
You can also create custom flyout menus.
You can dump all your grouped items into a floder (somewhere in My Documents maybe) and then drag that onto a dock and set it to open in a menu.
It won't be exactly like stacks . . but you can get the same productivity.

You can see all the catagories in the tabs of the dock.
In the first example you can see the folder as menu option:
And here is a flyout menu of the same folder:
While that example uses a folder, you can create a custom flyout with whatever shortcuts you want.

The flyout menu was what I was talking about. So basically, I just drag a group of icons to the dock and it automatically makes a group? Also, can I just take icons that are already on the dock and drag them to a group's icon?

It's not quite that easy . . but close.
