ObjectDock 2.0 any time soon?
Seriously, when was the last update?
Friday, April 11, 2008 by Aeon-Slayer | Discussion: ObjectDock
that is the ability to drag files/folders/links, etc INTO a "Flyout Menu" !! that annoys me so much!! You have go into the fly out menu and then manually add the files, what a pain! Just model 2.0 off of the new OSX dock -- that thing works well.
In Example for the above, i want a flyout menu called "recent projects" or something like that, where i can drag in files and such of recent projects, but as is now i have to creat a whole TAB to do that!! i don't really like that at all.
The other (less major) problem is the lack of a link to "My Network Places"...? whats with that? i tried to import it using the shortcuts option, but it isn't possible.
Oh, and another MAJOR thing is the complete lack of DECENT docklets! who wants to know what the weather is!? give me a WORKING RSS reader anyday (i use Yahoo! widgets for my RSS only now!). i have searched the web but havn't found any good third party docklets, so if someone could steer me in the right direction? or are there seriously NO good docklets?
Anyway, could someone please get back to me with facts about the reality of 2.0 (or above) / opinions about my ideas? Thanks

In the case of Stardock you are paying to test the product, I know it also includes the purchase of the produt. The question is after the testing I do not want the product would Stardock refund the money, I think not.
That is the difference, no matter how you spin it.
So what? You have the choice of not paying and not try the beta too. That's fact, no matter how you spin it. It doesn't prevent you from waiting until the final product is released in any way.

OK!!! I get it!!! you don't want to pay 10 or 20 bucks to pre-order the app. that's your prerogative. nobody is making you shell out the dough. but, and it's a HUGE but, that doesn't mean you have to make numerous posts to state your displeasure. one post would have done the trick.

I also refuse to be pay to be a Beta tester, not even Mincrosoft does that.
Yes they do....eg via TechNet Subscription ...
When I pay to see a stand up comedian, I don't pay to see the supporting guy while the main act nips off for a quick snack/toilet break
Yes you do...it's included in the ticket price.
\Only if I elect to purchase the product. I have not paid a dime to tech net to test office 2010. I may or may not purchase the final product.

Mike...the free version is not the same as the Beta OD+2.... You probably know that...just added for folks who don't.

yea i know, but someone complaining about paying for it and then deciding they don't like it, don't buy the beta, wait until final and try the free version. simple as that. i jumped to pre-order for beta access, i love stardock stuff. $10, i mean really complaining about $10? anyways, i was searching for a new dock and while doing that, i saw the pre-order email. i jumped on it and stopped looking for a new dock

You can't try the OD+ features in the free version though.

So just to clarify here: (need to set myself at ease) 
I bought this app about a week ago - without realising that OD2+ is so close (probably a minor mistake on my part not to do proper research beforehand) - what are my choices now, exactly?
Do I buy the 'beta-rights', or will I be offered a free upgrade to OD2+ once it's officially released due to my recent purchase? And if I DO purchase the beta-version now, willl the final version be made available to me free of charge once it's released?
Sorry if I missed something and am repeating a question.

You are Pre ordering the final version and by doing so you will be given access to the beta test!
Reply #152 Wednesday, February 17, 2010 8:07 PM
Awesome - order placed. I really don't mind paying a little extra...the program was cheap to begin with, and very useful to me up till now! 
Now all that's left is the wait.....

In the past, like with WB7, if you had bought WB6 within say 6 months of 7 coming out, I think you got the upgrade free (or maybe at a discount, I don't remember).
