I have a bug to report: Sometimes the dock will cut off the end of some of the icons when zoomed. I cannot pinpoint when this happens. To resolve, all I do is just open up the control panel and close it and everything is fixed. Here's a pic.

My system:

P4 2.53

512 MB

Geforce4 MX440 (drivers 44.03)

DirectX 9

I have the same bug. I have the same Video card, Processor, 256MB of RAM. Same drivers.

#39891

[*]Sometimes when an app is on top of mobydock (even if the dock is set to be on top) the text of each item gets behind the window.

i've got exactly the same bug as contrasutra/smerickson.

It was there in 0.75 as well. its not too annoying cause it doesn't impair the docks function - you can still move over to the hidden icons and they will reappear from behind the shroud.

The line beyond which everything disappears seems to be where the separator is when the dock is not zoomed anywhere - if thats important ask one of us to check it.

my lil compy's stats:

1.3 GHz mobile celeron

onboard trident cyberblade xp graphics <-----grrr :cry:

512 MB of pc133 ram

the problem with the cut off images is on my computer too, but not with any of the default backgrounds, only the ones I added.

my stats:

Pentium IV 2.53 GHz

512 MB PC 2700 Ram

GeForce 4 Ti 4200

Detonator 44.03 Drivers w/ DX9

This has happened on several occasions. I click on an icon and suddenly it sticks and starts pasting itself several times on the screen and when the mouse passes over the dock while this happens, it grabs another icon and does pasting too. I could not get it to stop and have to reset the computer. Since I couldn't get a standard screenshot, I used a cheap webcam to get the shot as you can see below.

hi,

this look cool !!

but i think it isn't the error the others get somtimes! happens to me as well, but it is hard to figure out why, coz it only happens around once a year !

the error you(GameBoyzGB) get, is completely different and probably an incompability between your card/drivers and mobydock !

VERY strange,

Moby

The mail check item and the weather item don't work for me.

The mail check worked fine in the previous version.

I'm told it might be because of my network switch's internal firewall, but I don't understand why that would make the mail check suddenly stop working.

hmm i "may" be able to get an idea why that happens because that happens to me ONCE in a blue moon... well.. how it happens to me.. is at the EXACT moment im dragging an icon and in the task bar an item leaves... it sticks to my mouse and will leave trails on the desktop... like once an icon in the task area fades out and the dock rearanges it self the icon im moving at the exact moment sticks to my cursor

but that only hapens once in a blyue moon for me

When i try to start the MSN feature from the dock, Mobydock crashes to desktop

i have MSN Messenger 6.0

#40190

Sorry to break it to ya, but the MSN item is only for MSN 4.7...

#40193

Hi,

the msn-item works with MSN Messenger 6. but in order to get it running, Microsoft Messenger 4.7 has to be installed. You don't have to use it. this is because the Messenger API needs it (dlls, Registry ...) !

Here is my FrontPageXP crash report (Moby, if you remember, also the previous version had this bug).

My sistem:

Compaq Presario 2710EA (look at Compaq site for detailed specs)

- RAM 256 mb

- CPU Pentium Mobile 1.3 GHz

- ATI Radeon Mobility 32 MB

- Windows XP Pro (NO SP1, but I've tried also with SP1 )

- Lastest drivers.

Go Moby, go !!!

#40220

Oops, sorry for the misinformation, I thought the MSN item ONLY worked for 4.7, my apologies.

Update on my report, though, it seems the weather icon is not ALWAYS 'n/a'. It will, maybe once or twice daily, show me the weather report for my area, but then as soon as it updates again, poof, it says 'n/a' for another long period of time.

#40244

I've noticed a potentially GIGANTIC problem, of which I'll post a screen shot here. In my 3 hours experience using MobyDock, I noticed it climbed from 9MB of memory usage to 270MB of RAM usage within a short period of time! If these numbers are displaying correctly, there are HUGE memory leak issues with this program! After a little testing, I determined that it seems to happen while launching programs off the dock, and when the "bounce" feature is on. I've yet to test it with the bouncing off.

Stuff like this NEEDS to be cleared up, or this program will be nigh unusable. I'm so adamant about this, as I have found MobyDock to be the best of the three dock programs to use.

Screenshot:

Great Job so far Moby!

d503: Does your computer feel slower? Because it could just be a small bug in the labeling, it may not actually be taking up 200MB.

For example, There was a bug in XFree86 and it said that it was taking up 350MB on my computer. I only have 256MB of RAM, so I knew it was just a bug in the labeling.

Moby: I have the same crash problem in Frontpage 2003 beta, so it seems that its not a FP problem, but a dock problem.

#40300

hi contrasutra,

i have no frontpage installed. i always hear from web-designers that it is a piece of sh##. but i will install it asap to fix it.

btw, does it also crash when you disable the running-processes (taskbar-section) of mobydock ?

moby

#40338

@ contrasutra:

Honestly, I couldn't tell ya b/c my specs are pretty high, and it "barely" effects them. I have 1GB of RAM and a 2.53ghz P4...so missing 270RAM actually isn't much of a hit...but I turned off the bouncing, and that has cleared up all memory "leakage"...

But I've noticed another "bug" of sorts. I can't close trillian message windows from the dock, I have to do it from the windows taskbar, or from the window itself. Having full taskbar context menus on tasks would definitely solve that though, *wink*.

moby

yes, for me still crashes with the taskbar option disabled.

#40340

same for me too.

FP is a piece of sh## compared to dreamweaver, but hey, I get it for free since I beta test Office.

And I don't do a lot of website designing anyway.

y, I agree: it's a fat, slow, buggy application but in my boss still love it grrrrrrr...

Yet another followup to my bug report (damn I wish this board had an edit button.. )

-=edit=- Well that's really strange, I can edit this post, but none of my previous posts. The board's makin me look like a liar! lol -=/EDIT=-

I decided to try a new clean install of mobydock, reconfiguring everything. Mail check item works once again, I guess something was screwed up in the settings or something, but the weather item is still on the fritz.

If it IS my switch's internal firewall screwing stuff up, is there possibly a way to assign a different port to the weather check that the switch might let through? I'd really like to have this guy workin.

#40509

Ok, I'm having a serious problem with Mobydock. From what I've learned, it's probably something to do with my video card. I downloaded the newest version of Mobydock. It launched fine, but the icons just plain don't work. I click on them, and nothing happens. They magnify and the name displays, but clicking does nothing. These are my specs:

Pentium4 1.6ghz

128 RAM

NVIDIA Vanta with latest drivers

20GB Hardrive

Also, I found that if I run my cursor quickly across the dock, it makes QCD jump. But anyway, does anyone know what the problem could be?? I really want to start using Mobydock. :woot:
