BTW, does anyone know if it now is possible to drag and drop files onto an app in OD?

Nightwisher,
I also have a proplem clicking on dock items. Sometime I have to click 2 or 3 times to get them to work.
I didn't have this problem in the begining with versions 0.50 thru 0.65....When 0.70 or 0.75 came out, I started having this issue.
Also....
I have the same problem as BtEO, the issue with video overlays, but mine is with playing DVD's.

ok well does it fix the problem that i have. i can see the words of the icon through other programs. like the names shows up up if i roll my mouse over where the dock is, even tho it is under another window. but i dont really care too much about themes. BTW is that memory usage TRUE!! i always get 21, 000 around there. that would be sweet if it was true

Things I've observed about 0.88 (or 0.87 in the about box as mentioned above):
* The minimize screenshot is a bit more stable but still gives black boxes sometimes.
* Still no way to set a Working Directory in OD so many games won't launch properly.
* The dock in Auto Hide mode no longer pops out when you have a window maximized (big ouch! >
).
* The new memory usage is MUCH improved!
Overall, it's a good upgrade unless you use maximized windows and auto-hide. Hopefully, SD will continue development on OD.

Hrm, after playing around with it a bit more the problem with auto hide seems to occur on windows that are full screen in size but not actually "maximized". It's still a bit awkward.

I don't use OD to launch games, but I have no problem with other apps that want a working directory. Instead of referencing the EXE in the dock item properties, I use the Start menu shortcut to the app. If the LNK doesn't list a working directory, putting in the LNK fixes it.
I know it seems obvious and overly simple, but did you try that?

Anybody else's say .87 instead of .88? Works great though.

Thanks Floyd. It seems like an unnecessary step to add a shortcut to solve the launch problem. I guess I'm just spoiled by Y'z Dock which has the Working Directory feature built in.

yeh, it seems as if it wouldn't be too hard to add that to OD. Just the same, it's a small price to pay, as I think OD looks better, and it definitely runs better/faster on my machine.

As a person who *does* use autohide and maximized windows, is there any way I can go back to .7 until this bug is fixed? I think I saved over my old copy of OD.;

Hmm -- it turns out the autohide will appear over maximized windows, if you hold down on the left mouse button and drag off the screen. Then the dock appears and you can release the button.
Strange... but at least I can use the dock now.
