Aqua-Soft ForumsShortcuts are still not working. Neigther in Rocketdock 1.3.5 nor RKlauncher 0.4
Is it a Windows problem?? I am using XP SP2 and I updated gdi+
Stacks Docklet
That's strange, even though the code for that is loosely written. ¿Querés decir que haciendo click en cualquier parte del icono, no abre?
Yeah, I mean, I click on the text "open folder" but it does't open, it's very weird.
Never mind, I don't use that item.
And i still see default window's icons, sorry, and i can't see the open folder image neither
Works fine for AveDesk now!!
Alt+left-click really did the job...
Screenshot as proof below.
I can second that. It's working absolutely fine with Avedesk on my setup, I haven't tested with a dock, though.
Well I was afraid of that your latest version broke shotcuts with RKLauncher good thing I still have the previous.
EDIT
My bad guess I save the wrong one shortcuts not working at all anymore.
just a feature request, in the Leopard's stack, whn you have too much object in you folder insted of "show in finder" it shows a text like "12 others in Finder" (in italian "12 altri nel finder") it is possible, it's marginal but it will be a better emulation ^ ^

Works great on RK Launcher except for a small bug 
when I tried using an icon that was outside of the RKLauncher/icons main folder, no icon showed but then when you move it into the icon folder (out of icons/more for example) the icon now shows.

is that including shortcuts?

For the dock icon I can use any image from my hard drive or my external hard drive without any problem.
RKLauncher 0.41 Build 239
It really works fine (very smooth y fast), but the icons looks very bad. Could it be possible that they were a little small. Thanks, and sorry my english
Shortcuts and icons, open folder and everything working here on Rocketdock 1.3.5 and RK launcher 0.41 (282). Just the set "icon" doesn´t work in RKlauncher. Stacks version from 17-12-07 9:00.
All is shaping up very nicely! Some things that I'm experiencing though, some shortcuts are getting the link overlay while others aren't.
Adding multiple stacks causes a "Class already exists" error pop up. After hitting okay, it works fine but it happens every time I start RKLauncher and it's one of those things that after while...you know how it is. 
I'm also getting the error where icons need to be in the root image folder in order to appear. It's not a big hassle but I'm sure many out there have their icons arranged in a certain way and having to move them will get annoying.
A possible suggestion for the icon image problem. Maybe an ini file or XML database which the stack would look at for possible icon paths to use, if none are found then extract the icon. This could either look for just the file name and ignore the path (probably the best bet) or use absolute paths for the files.
Example:
firefox.exe=C:Documents and SettingsBlah blah blahfirefox.png;
VSCExpress.exe=C:Documents and Settingsblah blah blahvscexpress.png;
and so on
This could be done manually by the user (the tedious way) or a quick program could be whipped up that would allow the user some simple features, mainly drag shortcut > drag image > spit out the ini file.
Just a suggestion.

wether they look bad or not depends on the quality of your icons. for example if you have things with 32x32 sized icons in a folder it will look stretched out and pixely, but if you have 128x128 icons they would look normal and high quality
Runs like a champ with RocketDock 1.3.5 (Windows Vista)
Ok, thanks, I´ll use 128x128 icons in the shortcuts.
I think to help matonga with RK launcher we should make sure we are using the same build I updated to the latest build 282 and I get the same as Sranshaft
Edit
Ok the problem with "Class already exists" is a RK problem I get the same thing with systats when loading 2 of them.
ok I found why my shotcuts were not working if I use Iconworkshop to hide the shortcut symbol they dont work I put that back they do also working in builds 239,282,275 of RKLauncher like I said before the "Class already exists" seems to be an RK thing you will have to find a build that allows multiple docklets.
like I said before the "Class already exists" seems to be an RK thing you will have to find a build that allows multiple docklets.
I have the same thing. Hope there will be a way to make RK shut up.
and what about hiding the icons in the back of the icon?
i mean, i would like this because that way you don't see where they hide.
Just found out, that external icons are not diplayed.
I use IconPackager and the icons I change in there are OK, but if I change them from the context menu, they are not diplayed in the stacks (instead the original icon)
This is an astonishing application matonga!! My warmest congratulations to you.
You are a huge force in the emulation world and it is an honor to have you contributing so heavily.
I use generally use Mac and only recently have I found the time to install your app on one of my XP systems (Rk Launcher) and it works perfectly.
As some people have mentioned there are a few things that are not quite right but I did a back to back test with starting your app up after a cold system boot - on both an XP and a OSX system. It might interest you to know that your application fired up a tiny bit quicker on the XP machine than it did on my OS X based system
Sensational. I look forward to seeing where you go from here!!!
I did some updates:
Now you can sort by name, time created, time last modified, time last accesed, and kind (file extension).
Also I tried to make the animation more similar to Leopard Stacks one, based on video posted by frangio. Can't make exactly like that (gave reasons in a post above) but at least it looks as a closer emulation... maybe.
I don't know why it doesn't open shortcuts on certain systems... if anyone over there is a programmer, I have a question:
I'm using ShellExecute( ) from Windows API. Is this right? Should I use something else instead?
Ok, and I'll try to support customized folder icons to appear correctly in the stack stay tuned for that.
nice update! sos un capo

I don't know if Delphi has an equivalent but in C# I use Process.Start. This allows me to add in parameters such as the working folder (this might be the cause of some links not working correctly as I ran into this problem on Vista when links didn't have a working folder.
Ok, let's see:
Added Sranshaft suggestion to include the default directory, with ShellExecute call in this case.
Completely rewrote the icon extraction code. It seems to work much better! Here is a hint in c-pseudocode:
#define HKCR HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
IImageList systemimagelist_extralarge;
void AtStartup () {
SHGetImageList (SHIL_EXTRALARGE, IID_IImageList, systemimagelist_extralarge);
}
HICON GetAssociatedIcon (String filename) {
String extension = GetExtension(filename) // debe devolver por ej. ".txt", con el punto incluido
If (registry.KeyExists (HKCR, extension)) {
String filetype = registry.ReadKeyDefaultValue (HKCR, extension);
If (registry.KeyExists (HKCR, filetype+"DefaultIcon") &&
registry.ReadKeyDefaultValue (HKCR, filetype+"DefaultIcon") == "%1") {
// SHGFI_SYSICONINDEX doesn't work with this kind of icon handlers
struct SHFileInfo fi;
SHGetFileInfo (filename, 0, fi, sizeof(fi), SHGFI_ICONLOCATION);
short index = fi.iIcon;
return ExtractAssociatedIcon (application.hInstance, fi.szDisplayName, index);
}
}
// Use SHGFI_SYSICONINDEX method
struct SHFileInfo fi;
SHGetFileInfo (filename, 0, fi, sizeof(fi), SHGFI_SYSICONINDEX);
HICON icon;
systemimagelist_extralarge.GetIcon (fi.iIcon, ILD_TRANSPARENT, icon);
return icon;
}
In case I got anyone too confused, here is the code for Delphi 5 as well ;-)

That's great mate. Thanks a lot for that. I'll definitely have to drop this coding into some of the projects I've got mucking about.
Edit: Just tested it out and let me be the first to congratulate you! The icons are looking beautiful now!
I'm testing it on RK launcher and yes, the icons are smooth now, but my folder icons don't change to the icons I applied with iconpackager... are they supposed to?
actually, the My Pictures, My Music, and My Videos icons changed, but not the regular folder icons
