[feature request] ObjectDocks taskbar should not show all tasks

Wednesday, November 26, 2003 by emeff | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

In ObjectDock there should be a dock item specific setting to decide if this item should be displayed in the dock's taskbar.
E.g. I have a dock item for Lotus Notes to access the application. A running indicator shows if the app is running. But I get the same icon in the taskbar section. For this item (and some others) there is no need to displayed twice in the dock.

I think that MobyDock has this option, but ... OD is still the best!

What do you think about that?

You can turn off the feature you are talking about. My dock never shows my running apps. I turned it off in the OD config box.

I know but this is a general setting to display all or no items in the OD's taskbar. But I like this to have access to SOME running apps (not all) because my windows taskbar does not show all tasks due to the 'virtual desktop' object in DesktopX.

therefore: item specific setting would help

APPENDIX:

item specific setting should be on program or window's class level

useful?

Should not be to hard to make a custom app for that, just remove the isInTaskbar style from the application If I have time, I can do

AndreasV, on the one hand I know that you have less time (read it in another post) , on the other hand I know that you will make a superb solution (sorry, but we set great expectations on you, your docklets are great).

Beside that: who is Francesca???

Nice to hear
I will try to make it this evening (it's evening here now). Do you have some e-mailaddress or a MSN-address to where I can e-mail it, if I have some version ready?

Beside that: who is Francesca???

That will remain a mystery forever

Andreas, it seems that my request is more complex than expected.. Or are you still busy with other great things?

Well there are some things I like to change in the app, but didn't had much time last weeks (a lot of university stuff to do). This weekend it is vacaction time, so I have some time to look at it again. I've sent you an e-mail about it btw
