The one and only goal of this topic is to make sure the problems I got with MobyDock are commons and in the same thought, give the author (if he ever comes here) some feedback about his nice app !
) if I ever trash something through the dock, it won't work anymore... it still grow/shrink but I'm no longer able to launch an app from it... ) memory leaks : longer you use it, bigger it becomes in RAM... So I kill it and restart it at least twice a day... Delete() ?Does everybody know it's built for those who have a good Video Adapter ?
I'm running it on a Duron 1000, with PC100 DIMMs and a (the BIG point) GeForce-4 MX 460.
In Low resolution, it runs smooth as a native Apple Application... no lag and no frame skip. Even while running Photoshop 7 over a couple other apps... It shows how it has been developped to uses hardware capabilities : Excellent (for us who have the hardware
)Suggestions for the developper :
) The "click" sensitive zone is small, and should be (my point of view) at least 4/5 of the reserved space (so the zone grows as the icon does) (4/5)*(actual icon width) ) implements right click instead of properties automatically (I strongly suggest an external app which will connect to the dock to allow config) as well as external apps for restarting and stoping it... (could be the same with args...) - removing the no-longer-needed Properties Panel... ) Use SHFileOperation to handle Trash operations ) Implements "kind of" system variables so we can refer to "X:\Program Files", "X:\Windows", etc... automatically. Reverse look-up could even be instancied so the portability of configs would be transparent... ) Offers a basic mode for those having not an "Alpha Blending Hardware Handler" so they can use it without using 100% CPU @ each hover...Need a hand on Web/Perl-CGI/dhtml/Photoshop/VB-ASP/Tweaks&Tricks ?
Feel free to ask me... the pleasure will be mine to give a hand !
