Stacks Docklet

[slurm23]

Hi again and Merry X-Mas! Any news on the Y'z Dock version of Stacks Docklet? Have you given it a try yet? I don't want to be a nuisance, but it would make a great X-Mas gift for the Y'z Dock community.. THX and a Happy New Year!

[chrisdfh]

I use stacks docklet without a dock, i use it inside windows as a controller for the QuickLaunch bar.

I tried the new version ( i think i use version 1.0.0 ) and as i replaced the dll file, with this new version the fan and/or grids when open they close right back. Am i doing something wrong?

i already had it working with previous version, so i re-replaced the old dll and it worked again.

Do you know what happens?

thanks

hey, registered here to post this and first off would like to say that this applet is awesome, however I've run into a rather annoying bug that I'm sure has been posted and re-posted in this epic threadnaught but after an hour of searching I can't seem to find the answer I'm looking for.

I'm using the standalonestack version, and it all works fine except once the applet window closes I get a windows error message saying "Show Mac OS Leopard Stacks in your desptop with a simle shortcut - use the StackDocklet from Matonga has stopped working".

Please help me!

I installed RocketDock and then downloaded stack docklet. It cam in winrar and I extracted it to the right spot but every time I try to do that i get

! C:UsersGeorgeDownloadsStackDocklet-preview(2).zip: Cannot create folder StackDocklet

! Access is denied.

! C:UsersGeorgeDownloadsStackDocklet-preview(2).zip: Cannot create folder StackDockletImages

! The system cannot find the path specified.

What am I doing wrong?

I fixed my problem, just in case this happens to anybody else, just extract the folder to your desktop and then drag it into place.

I'm having problems with the Icons disappearing from Objectdock when I reboot. They work but are not there. The the main Icons that are assigned as stackerdocklets. I would try restarting Objectdock If I knew how. Maybe someone can help, I was so close.

Vista OS, latest release of stackerdocklets, free Objectdock.

Thanks

Also, having advanced options for magnifiying docks wood be cool like glow, even if it disappears to load.

Hi Folks!

I just found StandaloneStack, which is great, expect I also suffer from open and close bug like "chrisdfh" if the taskbar aligned to the top.

Any idea?

Easy, just put your shortcut that you created inside the QuickLaunch bar.

Loot at the screen cap that i attached

I love this standalonestack very much also. The author seemed had stopped the development.

Maybe matonga can create a small application which can run stack without dock himself.

Hi. First of all I apologize if this problem have already been posted but it would seem that the stacks will not work with objectdock and rocketdock on my computer. For both dock the stacks works fine will I first add it to the bar but when i quit and restart the problem always come up.

Problem with rocketdock:http://www.aqua-soft.org/board/attachment....=1&d=1230614203

As for objectdock, I can't get it to open once I have added the stack

Rocketdock ver. 1.3.5

Objectdock ver. 1.9

and I am using the latest ver. of Stack given on the frist pg

Please help me fix the problem.

THANKS for this great piece of software!

There's a bug bugging me using StackDocklet with RocketDock however:

1. start RocketDock

2. plug in second monitor and set it to primary monitor (RocketDock is set to appear on primiary monitor)

->RocketDock appears an the freshly plugged in monitor

3. click a StackDocklet icon -> nothing happens

4. restart RocketDock

-> everything is fine again

The same applies in the opposite direction (unplugging the monitor).

Since I frequently plug/unplug my secondary screen (big 26" LCD, the other one is my notebook 's screen) this bothers me every time. I'm running my notebook VistaSP1, RocketDock v1.3.5 and StackDocklet 1.0.0.359

Hi mate,

Firstly amazing work ... so refreshing to find a product that is so activley developed and supported and without doubt has saved rocketdock!

On a more down note when running this

http://matias.securityconsultant.com.ar/St...let-preview.zip

on vista 32bit sp1 I get a crash as soon as i attempt to get the icon settings.

for now I have reverted to the version that does not support special folders ....

any ideas on a fix or work around ?

regards,

Daniel.

Hi,

I'm new on this forum, and very interesting in the StackDocklet.

I'm using OD plus 1.90 build 535u. on Win XP SP3.

I've downloaded the stackdocklet and put it in my OD folder.

2 times OD goes down (Why?), but now it works.

I saw all the before posted messages but I didn't found what I need.

Grid mode and automatic mode works, but fan displays automatic mode.

I've tried to use %d more... in global settings, without Open folder text, but it wouldn't work.

This is the docklet where I was looking for. I'll use it instead of the Flyout of OD.

One more question: Is it possible to open the docklet with a mouse over instead of a clic?

Thanks for your reply, and sorry for my English,

[[ UPDATE: ]]

Hi,

This morning ObjectDock wouldn't start.

I've removed Stackdocklet and it works again.

I tried it 3 times, same result.

Is there something to do?

I'm using Stackdocklet.dll 1.0.0.359.

Thanks,

This same issue occurs when I remote desktop to my PC. I run Vista, and I have a quad monitor setup. When I remote desktop, the Stacks docklets no longer work. When I come back to my desktop, they continue to not work, forcing me to close RocketDock and re-open it. My coworker also noticed this behavior, and he's running 3 monitors. I assume the same is true for dual monitors as well. Note that I have RocketDock running in my primary monitor, so it's not just that the stacks docklet is opening in another monitor.

I'm not aware of any kind of fix for this issue, but I'd be greatly interested in one.

I can confirm this same problem when turning on/off dual monitors.

@Matonga

Could you add a "doubleclick" barrier for the stacks activating/deactivating, like real Stacks?

Because your Stacks are a little buggy, when i make a tripple click on a stack.

[shlvment]

hello everyone!!!

i seem have a problem using stack docklet.

im using rocket dock 1.3.5, xp sp2.

the version of my dll file is 1.0.0.371.

i've already follow the step on how to install the docklet but everytime

i click the shortcut icon, it give a weird warning. (see attachment)

for information i've group the shortcut in a different folder such as GAME, WORK, APPS and etc.

please help me, i'm stuck!!!

[matonga]

@shlvment;

There is a file in the .zip where Stacks Docklet comes.

The file is named run_this_if_you_cant_open_shortcuts.reg

Did you try running such file?

[shlvment]

i try to run with the reg file but i dont know how to do it.

every time i double click or right click and then select merge the file,

it only show this(see attachment).

i dont have a clue...

[ToMoFFeL]

Thank you for this docklet! awesome work!

Works for me in Vista x64 german with ObjectDock+ 1.90 build 535u

[chatpristi]

@shlvment : This is probably because there is a problem with your file associations for .reg files.

Try this :

Right click on Matonga's file and select "open with", then "choose program"

scroll down the list and see if you find "regedit", if so, then select it (and you can check the "always use that program to open that file type" box at the bottom

if regedit isn't there, clisk on the "browse " button and find it in "c:windows"

That should work now, double clicking on the .reg file should now call regedit to write the file's information in the registry. (it should display a confirmation window to make sure you really want to write data to the registry, click "yes" and that's it !)

[matonga]

@shlvment:

You can also just run regedit.exe and then choose File / Import and select the .reg file (you'll have to extract the .reg file somewhere first, for example into My Documents).

But I encourage you to follow chatpristi's recommendation, so you won't have problems when double-clicking reg files in the future .
