Will ObjectDock 2 add submenus
Thursday, August 5, 2010 by harris48154 | Discussion: ObjectDock
I use ObjectDock Plus and like it very much. My only complaint is the lack of submenus. I find KKmenu very clumsy to configure and Stacks docklet can hardly be configured at all. Will ObjectDock 2 add submenus?

Sounds like you're saying that there is no new submenu in ObjectDock 2. Too bad.
Yes, I can add a folder, then not control the order of objects or their icons and have no wizbang theme display. I find the flyout menu of no value. It's OK if you need only 2 or 3 items on it. When objects are off the screen, it's not much help. How about a simple submenu that looks similar to the dock and that I can add objects to?

Off screen?, I just aligned my dock to the right, side on which a flyout is now at screen edge, when click the flyout opened offset to icon so all items are visible.
If dock is on left or right screen edge, the first sub on a flyout seems to go off screen if it is to close to screen top or bottom, moving it up or down in dock will solve this.
The Impulse dock has sub menus, if you have Impulse installed it will be under the My Software tab.
One draw back is it can't be skinned as OD is, to change the look you would need to edit the images for it, found in (XP path) C:\Program Files\Stardock\ImpulseDock\DockData\Skin\Common\Images.

It makes no difference where on the screen edge you put it. If you add enough objects to the flyout some will be off the screen. Little arrows will appear that permit scrolling (actually more like rotating). Absolutely useless, in my opinion. I was truly hoping for added functionality in OD2. That would certainly make it worth upgrading OD Pro. As it is, I see little reason to upgrade.

There is the Flyout menu docklet with which you can create custom menu, tabbed docks work very well as a main then sub in that tab. Any folder you have on a dock can be set to show as a folder. IMO, not sure what more than this is needed.
