Stacks Docklet

[jeanmw]

I downloaded the first stacks docklet and it's perfect,

but this one makes my rocketdock get closed automatically when i restart my pc.

I use XP SP3

[armoda950]

Help anybody,

I've downloaded the latest version of matonga's 'Stacks Docklet'. Its perfect on ObjectDock, no problem at all. But now, I'm using RKLauncher. I've encountered some problems using 'Stacks Docklet' on RKLauncher, such as;

On the first image is when the 'Stacks Docklet' is added and on the second one is when its right-clicked and the browse button is clicked. Other than that, the wanted image for the docklet doesn't appear and when I tried to move the position it suddenly disappears or RKLauncher suddenly closes. Please help.

Warmest Regards,

armoda950

You have to delete all stacks from RKL, then install an older Stacksdocklet.dll before 13.11.2008.

Then you can add them to RKL. SHould work now. Close RKL. Update Stacksdocklet.dll and it should work.

Just the adding isn´t working. I added v244, which I tested with RKL and is working.

StackDocklet v244.zip

another problem may be that ur using the same stack for different directories

Hmm... each time I try to edit a docklet in ObjectDock in Vista it just crashes the entire application. I've noticed some people having some issues with it as well in earlier posts. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get it to run correctly, or is this a known unresolvable issue?

looks like we can not use stacks docklet till matonga makes his magic

I tried the latest version of the stack and it works like a charm.

I'm using RocketDock and Vista Home Premium SP1 x64.

Why can you not use it?

Damn, don't get it, It still crashes when going to the setting window.

[Björn]

Does it work with V244?

[ArchDevil]

No, not even v244. it crashes the dock (rklauncher) every time you go to setting window. It's a common error i think:(

EDIT: forgot to mention it i have the latest build of rkl and i have xp sp3

Works perfect for me!

RKL build 282 (latest), Stack v349 (latest), Vista Home Premium SP1 x86.

I am in the same boat. I am using RKLauncher (the most recent version from http://home.cogeco.ca/~rklauncher/). When I insert the stack docklet, every time I click to get to settings, or left click it, the RKLauncher crashes. I have tried pulling it out, removing the docklet from RKLauncher entirely, and readded it, still nothing. once, Once I got it to work (not on the first try though), then it crashed and it has not worked since. I don't know why it worked the once. I am going to try other docks.

[vespucia]

As an update, I just installed Rocket Dock and tried using this docklet in there, same issue. The icon shows up, I right click and then select "icon settings" and then the program crashes. It also crashes if I left click. I am using the Current version: http://matias.securityconsultant.com...et-preview.zip version).

However, when I use the If you experience crashes while using it, please use this version instead:

http://www.aqua-soft.org/board/showp...postcount=1603 (thanks Björn) version, it seems to work. I think that I was using this version when the ONE time it worked happened on RK Launcher.

I am able to get Bjorn's version to work with both RocketDock and RKLauncher.

Thanks so much Bjorn!!!!!! You're rocks!

For those of you who are crashing when you click on "icon settings" with the latest version, this was happening to me on Vista x64 until i ran RocketDock as an Administrator once. After that it has worked perfectly. Give that a try and let us know how it goes. Obviously this is not a solution for XP users, sorry.

I know it's a stupid question but where can I find the different download versions?

I would like to use Stack dock because I love it but every time I restart my computer it forgets my settings and I have to re-do everything.

I use RocketDock 1.3.5, Vista 64, and I don't wich version of Stack but I downloaded it roughly one month ago on the RocketDock website. Sorry for my bad english

[maeddes]

thanx for the update.

this app rocks!

Copy Rocketdock to "My Documents" for Vista.

[robc]

For Vista it's enough to install RocketDock (or any other app with the same problem) to a folder which is NOT "protected" by the OS, for example a "tools" folder like C:Tools or whatever you like, then there will be no access rights issues like not being able to save settings etc. I've always had my installation under C:ToolsRocketdock and never had any issues either with Rocketdock or the Stacks docklet.

When I try do move it to the Documents, That's what he shows

I could find what my Tools folder is , maybe it will work there...

Maybe you have Rocketdock open?...

I think you need to close rocketdock first.

I found a MAJOR bug on the current version of the stacksdocklet [today is November 24, 2008 just for reference]. Okay so far I got the latest version of the docklet and moved them to my OD+ folder. I had one stack for my User folder and it only shows the AppData folder, an Apps folder I created, the Games folder, and a shortcut to the public folder. But the thing is it doesn't show the System Folders like Contacts, Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Links, Music, Pictures, Searches, Favorites [renamed to Sites], and the Videos folder. This is a major problem that wasn't present in the previous version I had.

Another bug I found is if you delete the stacks from the dock, as in dragdrop&poof, its gone but after you close the dock and restart it it reappears again. This shouldn't happen and i just wanted to let you know.

And the following are request please think them over Matonga;

1: To add the option to enable/disable hover over text effects, because to me it looks better and thats the way it is in Mac OS X.

2: This may be a bug or done intentionally but, when you open the stack the icon set for it disappears then reappears when the stack is fully open, when closing it it still stays there. Can you please make it so when you open the stacks the icon doesn't disappear? Thnx

3: May be you can implement this in the future, but in OS X.5.4 the stacks got upgraded and was given the "List feature" that behaves like a menu in the windows taskbar, like quicklaunch for example, when theres a folder in that folder it expands and shows what's in that folder. Apple included this because of consumer demand and this is a real great feature. Notify me if you have questions about this.

Thankyou and please look at this and notify me on what you think. You're a great developer and I know you can pull this off. Also nice job on the live previews for the stacks. Thankyou and please message me on your thoughts questions and so on.
