Yes, the two programs in question do not start if I remove the path statement from the Starts In box from either a regular windows shortcut or a PIDL shortcut

I did a link/shortcut from my desktop and dragged it onto the bar. The app would not start even though it did start using the shortcut. I manually pasted the path to the .lnk (including the .lnk) into the File Path box and the application still doesn't start.

I started editing the XML for myself since I don't care about a tabbed dock, I really only need a straight dock that I am using like drawers from the side of my screen (have them sliding in equal to the number of icons 'in' the drawer). I am not much of a Java/XML programmer so I wasn't going to touch the backend. Maybe I will look at the calling functions and see if I can find anything to help.

My time is consumed with work/family also, so I completely understand. I will say that 3 of my neighbors have seen my 'drawer' effect and want it also! Great work, I do still love it.

Hi there -

I think I found a solution (I messed this up originally by only extracting the path to the *.exe from the shortcut and start that instead of getting all information ).

So I changed a few lines in the javascript file and it should work now if you use a shortcut/Link instead of the real program (the link contains all information).

So, please try this:

Go to the directory of "TabbedDock" (C:programs...AveDeskDeskletsAveScripterTabbedDock).
There's a file called "main.js":

- Back it up (in case the new file is not really compatible - I'm not sure I changed more stuff since the last release..)
- replace it with the new "main.js" from this zip-file...
- restart AveDesk/reload the AveDesk Theme...

This should work - please give me some feedback if it does, so I can use it for the next release, too

-------------
edit:
As there seem to have bben problems downloading, I uploaded the file again -
hope it works now...

Ok, don't know what in the world I am doing wrong, but it will not download. I keep getting a 0 byte file. I tried both Firefox and IE... PM sent with email.

Nice Work

Sorry, my browser stuffed, hence the double post... but while im at it...
forgot to mention that it plays only at the end of changing the volume. Is it possible to make it play the noise every time the volume goes up a notch? Cheers, and nice work

Ok, it is working now... I am still using the two version that you emailed me, but I installed AveScripter 1.0.7 and now the application that was not working IS working now.

I went and used _1, _2, and _Test (_1 was the one you sent in this thread) and all three work with the new AveScripter. I did NOT try to use the original file.

But heck, its working!! Thanks for the prompt updates/debugging.

I love this tabbed dock but I do have a few questions....

1. I can't seem to add "my computer". how can I do this? (everything else work)

2. How can I delete extra empty shortcuts? or extra tabs?

3. How can I set the icons layout a little curvier?

Hi there -
hope I can answer this satisfactingly...

1. Typing "explorer.exe" in the shortcut field or pointing to a link to My Computer should work
2.Not in this, but in the next version it should work - however you can switch the "empty shortcut" pic to a less visible one...
3. By editing the xml-file, there should be sth. about that in the help file. However don't spend too much work, also it'll take a while till the next version comes out, things will be a lot easier then...
