Sorry if I seem to be asking a **** question or something, most of the time I would just download this thing and try it for myself, but I really am curois as to WHAT this docklet does. You say that it creates a "Virtual Folder"... so in essence, the docklet creates a temp folder of where you can store anything? Also, do the files within this fake folder stay even after a re-start or will it empty and forget? Thanks for all of you time, and either way, its a great work for you to be making docklets!

I've been using this docklet and it's useful and all, but whats the difference between the docklet and putting a folder on the dock?

#43119

@TheRaginAsian: this docklet creates real folder with path witch you give it in .INI file. It doesn't delay any files even after reboot computer. You can co/move files there by drag&drop. Virtual folder it's only a name that's all.

@Ludge: now in v0.1 it's zero deference betwean vFolder and folder on the dock. But in v0.2 it'll be additional file where you been able to specify files types and directories where this files should be copy/move.

Eg. Documents: .txt,.doc;

All TXT and DOC files will be copy/move to Documents folder

@TheRaginAsian and Ludge:

You can create shortcut folder on Y'z Dock. However, it doesn't allow you to drag files to it to copy or move to that folder. So the solution is this vFolder docklet.

What it does is after you configure it to point to any folder on your computer, you can then drag files to it and do a copy or move to that folder.

@GAngel:

Your docklet works great. I have some suggestions for you. This is my TODO list for developing vFolder, but didn't have the time to work on it.

- Ability to store more than 1 folder

- Ability to select a folder via a menu without the need to restart the docklet

- Add Keyboard keys while dragging to indicate a copy/move.

Dragging + Shift Key --> move

Dragging + Ctrl Key --> copy

- Ability to add/remove folders via a dialog window without the need to restart the docklet (and update the INI file as well)

- Ability to update the INI file with the correct icon when I change the docklet icon using the "Property of Dock item..." selection from the menu

- Adding a progress bar under the icon indicating % complete of copying or moving

Thats all and Great Job so far! :own:

#43132

I don't know why, but I changed the folder and it work now!
