ObjectDock submit rejected!!!
Sunday, December 25, 2005 by Phoenixheart | Discussion: Community
I uploaded some of my very first works, the ObjectDock icons, all in 128x128 PNG. Then I waited. And today I received an email telling me that my uploads were all rejected 
The reason was, as they said, file must be in ZIP format, when I uploaded pure PNG. But how about this guy?
https://www.wincustomize.com/download.aspx?LibID=29&SkinID=8913
[Note: link died, as was taken care of
]
His work is in PNG, not zipped.
I'm totally discouraged. Please help!

That would be cool Jafo! At this point...since its gone on for so long it would be a huge task to sort it out...But if its possible and your willing and need help, I'd be more than happy to tackle it with you.

I, for one, am amazed at the alliteration skills of some of the posters in this thread!
(reference reply #17)
As for seperating the icons from the docks, I'm not against it at all...and will help in anyway I can, just so newbies are directed to a place to find icons that will work on their docks when the download the programs...I wasn't trying to start a debate, or God forbid, a petition...It's just in all my time here I have created nothing but icons and I kinda took offense at the supposed tone that all png/ico should be rejected. I understand gizmo's line of thinking, and will submit my icons into whatever gallery they eventually wind up fitting into. I'm just saying, if we move them into the icons gallery, we need good signs to direct folks to where they can find icons for their docks, not just for windows or other OSs.
I have read this post over several times, and can not find anywhere that two consecutive words begin with the letter P. I would like you to read it over again see what you think...pretty please

Reply #25 Wednesday, August 2, 2006 10:46 AM Bandit...Calm down bud...the petition reference is kind of a long running joke...and the issue of icons/pngs in the ObjectDock library has been a topic of discussion amongst some of us for some time now...in other words...its nothin new...And I personally don't want to see anyones stuff rejected...my gripe has always been the mixing of libraries...it should have been stopped some time ago but at the time I think the staff was short handed and it never got handled. As far as newbies needing directions...I think the library titles pretty much handle that. Its like Bichur said..."When I go to the Object Dock gallery I'm looking for docks." And that pretty much sums it up. But your not doing anything wrong, so like I said...don't take it personally.
I think once your here a bit longer and get to know the regular posters better you'll get a better understanding of when someones joking around. You have to take some comments witha grain of salt.

alas, I was only joking myself and was playing along...so darned hard to convey tone in a text only format! All of this, including the first "what did I ever do to you?" post was all in jest!...geesh fellas...my entire last post was a play on the alliteration posted above it...gotta just start posting "yep" or "nope" instead of long tirades that get taken wrong....I'm trying to fit in, be funny, not talk too much...darn! I'm doing it again...time to visit the Ritalin salt lick...

Misc Icons: This was supposed to be for icon packs and the odd icon which wouldn't fit into Icon Packager. Only .ico icons are accepted as they are intended for Windows' use only. Volume of single icon submissions have corrupted the library however.
Object Dock: This was supposed to be for all Object Dock related items, docks, png icons etc. Again the huge volume of icon submissions has overwhelmed the library. It was supposed to have sub-sections to separate dock and icons, but that never happened.
The whole lot needs a re-think.

OK cool Bandit...and your right...hard to get a jest across in text sometimes...thats why I use the smiles thingies just to make sure people know I'm only kiddingor I will say so outright just to be sure. Some people take things the wrnog way some times so I "try" to make sure they don't..sometimes it doesn't work though.

A cool thing would be that there were sub-sections to separate the docks, docklets and png icons.
Just a thought.

Theres really not much to debate about it...the Icons already have a library and the Pngs are basically the same thing since you can convert them either way, so they should be in the "Misc Icons" library as well. The only thing that should be in the ObjectDock library are docks and docklets which of course have some sort of icon or png as its logo or what have you. Thats really all there is to it.
JAroche...As far as sub-sections...I think the advanced search already covers that and to be fair, the docklets are as much a part of ObjectDock as the docks are. Its really all about the application...ObjectDock is about docks & docklets.

an icon is an icon is an icon
An icon (from Greek εἰκών, eikon, "image") is an image, picture, or representation; it is a sign or likeness that stands for an object by signifying or representing it, or by analogy, as in semiotics; in computers an icon is a symbol on the monitor used to signify a command
whether it be ico or png
Gizmo is correct in his statements and it would make things easier
I will need someone to lend me a wheelbarrow, however, in order to move my stuff from the OD gallery to the Misc. Icons gallery. and I said lend not rent (smiley posted)

It would be easier to create a new dock/docklet library and migrate those over to it and then just rename the ObjectDock library to Misc Icons 2...since there are more icon/pngs in there than dock/docklets.
