OD Pause Button
Monday, September 26, 2005 by aimzzz | Discussion: Docks
Is there an OD docklet for tabbed docks that allows the user to 'pause' the dock with drawer open for a while? I envision a toggle that resumes autohide when clicked again.
Alot of times, I want to use the shortcuts on a particular tab for a while without dealing with autohide. An alternative would be some way to have extra non-tabbed docks that could be turned on when wanted & off when not in use, but I don't know of any way to do it.
I'd appreciate any suggestions or info I'm not aware of

Basically....if you pull the dock away from where it is docked just a tad it will just sit there without dropping back down. I do this all the time when I'm working on creating new docks.

Right-click an empty space on the dock and choose detach from edge. You don't have to move it. When you want it to hide right-click and choose attach to edge. You may have to click on the desktop or a window to get it to roll-up.

Have done detatch, but never got it to roll up again without opening Config Dock & clicking the Drawer option. 
Will try it again

I think that's by design: detatched = not-autohiding
or conversely: autohiding = docked-to-edge

I usually have to click the desktop before it'll roll back up.

That logic led to my question-suggestion re. a Pause button. I tried Lantec's approach & clicked the Desktop, which worked, so the design must allow this option instead of adhering strictly to the definitions (or it's a bug with a helpful side-effect)
