And one request, is there any way you could give the user the choice as to whether they drag-and-drop copy or move by default, and the other being the 'shift' enabled?

Thanks for this release, the widget dock is slowly taking over my desktop with your contribution..lol

#307023

drag and drop copies the file and drag and drop(holding shift down)moves the file are you asking to be able to change the shift to the copy instead of the move?

and I will fix that text over run

#307026

yes please

#307034

see what I can do there is also a bug when you resize sometimes there is a gap in the images I have fixed this already will upload it later( bed now)

#307036

Thanks for your hardwork. I need a possibility to chose between single-click and double click to open/execute the target of the icon.

Thanks in advance, and maybe some 2 images for a folder: closed folder in the normal status and opened folder when the user moves / copies some in the folder.

Good suggestions I will see what I can do.

#307087

Can you add the ability to move the label to the right or left of the icon? Also how about sub labels?

Something like this :

Ya I was going to add that later I have a few bugs to work out then add more features less bugs to deal with at one time.

#307239

Why would anyone want resource-hungry Konfab icons when we've got AveDesk? Nice work, though.

Same problem with my one.

#308300

Still dont have the text problem solved yet it is on a lower priority but single click and double click are fixed now folders are animated with option to use images from outside the widget.And a few other fixes.Working on sublabelwhen I get it working right I will go over the whole label thing I want to be able to place the text on any side.link has been updated

#308311

This is going to be a stupid question, but how do you create multiple instances?

I tried using this last night for a while, but was only able to have 1 kcon open at a time.

I tried it as a standalone widget and from the widgetdock.

Otherwise, I really like it.

#311401

I use it with the widget dock right now but this weekend I will try to add spawning not sure how that will go I have not messed with spawning code yet but it is needed.With the widget dock when you add it make sure you set it to spawn multiple instances and it will work fine.Also I will upload a new version by the end of the weekend with fixes and hopefully spawning.

#311471

cool, thanks.

I'll give it another go next chance I get.

#311948

OK, I re-downloaded and tried it again.

Same issue.

I looked in the widget dock config file and found the spawning tag for the kcons item which was set to 0. I set it to 1, but nothing changed.

Is there another way to get the spawning option? I didn't see it in any of the context menus for the dock or the widget itself.

#313292

when you add the widget with the widget manager there is a check box to the left make sure you check it twice and it should work for you . Make sure you are using a .widget file not a .kon file the widget dock wont spawn a .kon file

#313302

I'm using the .widget file.

I never noticed the multiple items change to the checkbox, that's pretty slick.

When I tried it this time, it closes the existing kcon and then relaunches it, so it still isn't working for me.

It's late, and I need to go to bed. I'll try and mess with it some more tomorrow.

Thanks for the help.

Im working on adding all of that in my spare time(which is not much) also trying to fix bugs as I go.

#313836

Any chance of snagging this file from somwhere? The original link points to an MP3 file now.

#357706

First post updated, There will also be an update to this widget soon.

#357856

Sounds good...can't wait to try this out...the existing widgets I found at the Yahoo repository don't seem to do folders well. In reading through the thread did I see that you can single-click to open one? THAT is nice...I like to be able to single-click my folder widgets/desklets and none of the Yahoo widgets I've found can do that like you can with Avedesk desklets.
