- New mouseover effects

- And much more!
You can take a walkthrough of some of these new features here. ObjectDock has both a free and Plus version. Current ObjectDock Plus users can upgrade to 2.0 for $9.95, and the Plus version is $19.95. Users who pre-ordered OD+2 can update via Impulse.

Question do you have uninstall version 1.9 before installing 2.0

Hopefully not!

It's been a while, but I believe you do. Remember to backup.

You could run the beta and 1.9 side by side. Dunno about the release version.

Still having issues with the icon browser. You can't scroll down with the mouse wheel, it just jumps around at the top; and it's still resetting only my Microsoft keyboard settings icon.
I also noticed the "adjust tab font" option is back, although it doesn't seem to work. Every time I try to change it, the fields are empty, and reset back to empty even after I've tried changing the font.

Download of the free version at Download.com is blocked by Eset's Smart Security (and probably NOD32 too) as 'probably a variant of Win32/Genetik trojan'. False positive, no doubt, so you might want to let Eset know about it so they can fix it on their next virus definitions update.
A good resource to see if other AV suites are flagging a false positive is http://www.virustotal.com
Been bitten by my fair share of false positives as well, so I know what that is like.

Okay, so it's finally released. But what about those who got 1.90 very late in its life as part of the ODNT renewal bundle package?

I can't (and don't) speak for Stardock, but the policy since forever has been that going from say, 1.5 to 1.8 or 1.9 has always been ok... but the way Stardock considers going from 1.8 or 1.9 to a major change like 2.0 is different, and to add to that, OD 1.9 pre release Beta of OD2+ required a pay in of $9.95 (US) if memory serves (in addition to an active subscription to OD+). I would say you're out of luck, sixshot, but I could be wrong and the best way to find that out would be to fire off an email to [email protected] .
Hope this was helpful.

I actually went back to 1.9 because I have numerous individual files in my tabbed dock and in 1.9 I can right click to context menu and do a copy so I can paste file elsewhere as needed. This capability does not exist in 2.0

Probably a dumb question. but several docks/zoomers etc are in OD2's files but not in the program. How do I import? Shouldn't they show up automatically?
Reply #17 Wednesday, October 13, 2010 6:09 PM
minor question.... what happens with the plus/minus images.
Reply #18 Wednesday, October 13, 2010 6:13 PM
More like a major question. That was one feature I wanted in OD and I don't understand why it's not in this latest version. This is one reason why I probably won't update to this latest version...I don't understand why features are always taken out of some updates. Kind of takes away from customizing.

I'm beginning to think not having Object Dock is a good thing judging from all the problems I'm seeing. I just got Nexus Dock. I'll stick with that.
