No selective option to launch individual bars. Must open all docks at once.
Cannot choose which bars to open when launching application.

I"ve been using ObjectDock for a while now and I've learned about an interesting limitation - I'd appreciate it if anybody can correct me if I'm wrong.
1. When you create your tabs and docks...you're NOT allowed to selectively launch the bars you make. You have to launch ALL of the tabs/bars at the same time...or you can't open ObjectDocks at all. For example...If I create three bars of my favorite shortcuts, etc...ObjectDock will open alll 3 objectbars no matter what. ObjectDock doesn't allow you to choose which bars you want to work with.
I wouldn't have a problem with this limitation ASSUMING I could save the current set so I can create a new set of objectbars to open afterwards. This is not the case. Once you create the 3 objectdock bars...you cannot save a current set so that you can launch a seperate set of different ObjectDock bars.
This limitation should be addressed in ObjectDocks 2.0...whenever the developers reach that milestone.

I just tried this technique...and it works! I CAN save my current setup and create a new set of icons! OMG...this is fantastic! Just one question...where are the saved sets located (which subdirectory) so I can back these up to memory stick, etc?

If you are running 1.9 they will be in C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\ObjectDock Library\Backed Up Themes

Right click on dock, Themes, Save current dock. Create and save all the different configs you want, then when want to change select Load previous dock and select set you want.
