dennisalcayde Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 ...... It's just a shame, that's all. ...woh, you are something man. your rudeness overshines the politeness. Link to comment
dennisalcayde Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 hey Matonga, i hope you wont give up your hobby thanks for the update. there's much to praise about. Link to comment
matonga Posted November 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Everyone: fixed problem with fan when clicking an item and got wrong one executed (the one below or the one above instead of the one choosen). Now it works incredibly accurate. @glove99: you're right, I forgot to include the patch Link to comment
matonga Posted November 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 please have a look, a bug? ... thank you. Ok, now solved that one... mostly. Link to comment
glove99 Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Hello,I really like this docklet. Thanks for all the work. I can imagine having to support so many platforms is quickly making your hobby less than fun. I appreciate all the work you have done!Now for the bad news, here are two issues I am experiencing:My environment: running Object Desktop Plus 1.9 on XP. I have 2 docks. The one on top uses the zoom effect and has on Stack docklet. The one on the left uses the flash effect and has 3 Stack doclets.First problem: On one dock, if I click on stack A (grid), then stack B (grid), then back to stack A, OD crashes right after stack A shows its grid. Let me know if the OD crash report would be of any use to you.Second problem: If I click on stack with zoom effect, the stack icon magnifies (as expected), then click on stack icon on a different dock. The fan disappears but the icon stays magnified. Only way to de-magnify it is to drag it off the dock, then back on to the dock (or move it to another position on the dock).Thanks again,Greg Link to comment
matonga Posted November 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Ok, now special folders appear with proper names instead of english names (works at least here in spanish) Sorry to mention this but, this new version crashes the dock when trying to change a docklet from Automatic to Grid mode. This is probably a memory leak somewhere else (inside my docklet, of course). I'll see what can I do. @glove99: About the first problem, I'll consider to install the dock and try, but first I'd like to be sure I'm not missing anything else I'd like to add to the docklet. I'll then probably test it not only with Object Dock but RK Launcher as well. I don't have the problem described, here with RocketDock (which is the dock I use). I know some people bother me about writing an Object Dock Docklet which doesn't work with Object Dock, but the problem is no dock gives me enough integration to write a proper fan / grid docklet (the nearest thing to that is flyout effect) so I have to do it by hand, and of course, bugs arise then. About the second problem, I'm afraid I won't be able to test that, because I'd have to buy the Plus version to test it Link to comment
boogerrogers Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Hey matonga just a bug report, the latest version is unstable on Objectdock, whenever you try to go to docklet properties objectdock crashes, hope this helps! Link to comment
vemod Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Hi Matonga!I'll buy you the plus version of ObjectDock, do you have a paypal account? Link to comment
syedyackub Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 sorry montango i wont agree with you it works fine with me it would be a clash with your os or other programs Link to comment
neologan Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 such a shame its not fully working in object dock, but i know in the end you as a developer won't be able to resist sorting it out Honestly, i think OD with Stacks is the best combo out there by a mile, it just crashes Link to comment
jfty009260 Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Sorry, it was only just now that I got the time to revisit this thread. Here are the screenies you were asking for, matonga. In this first screenshot, you see that the My Documents folder has 18 items. However, when I access the stack docklet for the same folder... Whoa, where'd the other items go? It may have something to do with the "adjust stack according to resolution" feature. Or maybe not. But all the missing items are folders...suspicious, isn't it? Link to comment
jfty009260 Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Sorry for the double post, but what happened to the latest version? It made my RocketDock crash upon starting it so I can't run RocketDock now. Exact mesage:---------------------------Finder: RocketDock.exe - Application Error---------------------------The instruction at "0x7c9f2edd" referenced memory at "0x20d04ff0". The memory could not be "read".Click on OK to terminate the programClick on CANCEL to debug the program---------------------------OK Cancel ---------------------------I'm running Windows XP SP 3, using RocketDock.If anyone has a link to the version just before 1.0.0.349 (1.0.0.307, I believe), please share it for those who may be experiencing similar problems. Thanks. Link to comment

jfty009260 Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Thank you very much! Now I can get back to using StackDocklet for now.Oh yeah, matonga, the file name display problem still exists. The one where if you have a period in the file name, the docklet interprets it as a file name extension and thus won't show it. If it has been already solved, then I'm sorry for the redundancy.

Features are always more fun to code than defects/compatibility work-arounds. For the second problem, I will see if I can replicate using just a single dock. Also, I second Vemod's suggestion. I would gladly donate to the cause, whether its for OD Plus or a big bottle of Fernet-Branca! ;-) Greg Link to comment
itsme22 Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 I'm using RocketDock on Vista Home Premium, these are some problems I've encountered.When I try to run RocketDock with the stacks in now crashes. When I add the stacks and click on one, it causes the dock to freeze until the stack is closed. When I create a stack for a "special folder," it doesn't show the icon I choose at all. Link to comment
tengshj Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 in Fan model, clicking on one item opens other program. ps. the label in grid may need some modification Link to comment
matonga Posted November 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 in Fan model, clicking on one item opens other program. This has been solved in last version (yes, the one which crashes when you close the settings window... ) I'll do a merge of the version previous to the last one, with the corrected fan issue of the last one. If someone has some good tutorials about correctly using IShellFolder and PIDLs in Delphi or C++ non .NET (specifically those, as I already have lots of tutorials but for managed platforms), I'd greatly welcome them. I've already done some stuff (even the Special folders in stacks works that way) but I fail to implement it correctly and get memory leaks. BTW in last version it crashes while extracting icons via SHGetFileInfo or something like that (i.e. I have problems with the Shell API in general). Link to comment
xNoFrostx Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 New version looks greate!!!!... Link to comment
nodeffect Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 there's a bug on Objectdock.... every time I click on the stack, the icon blinks, but not for rocketdock.... hope you could fix this, thanks.... Link to comment

If I understood right that you just need to load objects from any folder (special or fs)? In this case Delphi's example in "Delphi7DemosVirtual Listview" can be enough for it. I hope Borland works with pidls correct Link to comment

(I didn't install the demos... d'oh!) Thanks man! I really needed this one. Link to comment
af14 Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Congratulations, best docklet ever. Anyway, I´ve noted you change the animation in grid mode. I think doesn´t work very well with many items (too slow and delay between items and background). Personally, I like more the animation you use in version 1.0.0.151. Again, excellent job.

Guest bugmenot724 Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Is it possible to hide Control Panel from the My Computer Special Folder?Thanks! Link to comment
