Hello guys, long time no see :)

Been thinking about resurrecting RK Launcher with the arrival of the new Visual Studio 2010
so do you think it's worth continuing development after all this time ?

Good to see you back.
Speaking personally, I'd like to see an update to the dock, taking into account Windows 7, and any other features you can squeeze into it.
Any beta testing required give me a shout.

Absolutely,

Even now many,many people are using Rk Luncher i think they would be excited with new release.
Especially new dock who will take some advantages of Windows 7/Vista...

Keep up.let's see what will happen.

Yes indeed very long time no see.
Really happy that after all this time you decided to bring it to life again.
Hope to see some new elements in RK Launcher cause it's the dock that stayed
longer on the desktops of most people around here.
It deserves a heavy update in order to continue using it for long time.
Nice seeing you around again.

Don't tease us like that ;)

Yes, breath some new life into the launcher scene; when would you think you'd start up again?

Also, keep those default icons you paired with your dock back in the day.. what were they called? Element? Elemental?

That is fantastic news. Of all the launchers, this one is the most stable. ObjectDock is frozen for a very long time, same with RocketDock.

The only feature a really miss is beeing able to move the launcher above the regular taskbar.

I think I just had a heart attack.

With all the docks I've used, RK Launcher has always been the most consistently stable. I had almost lost hope for a new version.

Please, continue development of this wonderful program.
Welcome back!

OMG YES!
PLEASE!

some feature suggestions:
--instead of having reflected icons, maybe have the dock reflect the icons itself, like the nexus dock.
--maybe make the task thingy a stack instead of a speach bubble.
--add some more minimise effects
--Make the stacks do what leopard does, if u click a folder inside a stack, it becomes a stack itself.
--make it so it reserves space, thats one of the main things that bugged me. it would be great if u could do that :)

If you could do those, the dock will be perfect in my eyes.

YES PLEASE!
Continue this project!
Is there anyway I could help?

I say: Object Dock is the "original", but it's a bit heavy, and it has that annoying shareware ads that make me feel that I am not using the full version, although the full one does not have any functions I need.
Rocket Dock is like Object Dock but a bit lighter, but it doesn't bring anything really interesting, and it often crashes when emptying the recycle bin.
Other docks, well, they aren't generic, they intend to make you use new functions that do NOT work in every dock.
RK Launcher is almost the best, but it has serious problems with stability. Many times, when I drag an icon to the dock, the icon can't be inserted, or when moving a dock icon to another position, the icon sticks to the mouse cursor and I have to restart the RK Launcher.

Seriously, please tell me if there's anything I can help you with.

And PLEASE, check this: the itemlist.ini does NOT save it's text with latin characters. I have the Office folder in this path:

Quote

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Menú Inicio\Programas\Microsoft Office

and the Stack Docklet doesn't work because when I close and restart RK Launcher, the word "Menú" in the path changes to "MenÀ" and the Stack comes with no content.

oh hell yeah! rk launcher continues to be the dock of choice.

now im on windows 7 the things that don't work are the tray docklet and the right click empty trash but i really can live with that since rk launcher is so good.

any help with testing, graphics i would be more than happy to help.

cheers

If you could make it work with the new stacks docklet that would be fantastic, after 3 years it is still the only dock that works for me on 64-bit.

Yes, I was forced to buy objectdock because of it's features and lack of RKL support..but I'd much rather use RKLauncher!
