Stacks Docklet

Hi, It's running like a charm on ObjectDock, the only issues are the ones my fellow beta testers or I have reported sofar.

This is getting greater and greater... and so fast!

In the Fan mode doesn't work custom text (Show in Finder). It is still Open Folder.

tested in RKLauncher.

@szekelya:

Is Service Pack 4 installed in your Win2K? Just to confirm. In such case, I can't give support for 48x48 icons in Windows 2000 :(

Can you actually set Explorer in Windows 2000 to show 48x48 icons?

SP4 is installed, and I can set icon size in display properties, which I guess is changing desktop icons only.

@nickdc.

just make a special folder for stacks, like nickdc, in this folder make the needed shorcuts, and customize the icon only in this shortcuts.. Done

@DZGH_Operator:

Oh, now I understand! Yes, I have to fix that.

@mtasquared:

Mmm... I can't do that. It must be done by the docklet's author (I think it's StarDock, in the case of Object Dock) :(

@szekelya:

Ok, I can add support for Win2K, but you will get blurry icons, or smaller (32x32) icons. What do you think?

:I'mNotWorthy:

Smaller icons sounds just nice. The aim is to be as beautiful as can be, blurry icons just don't have this touch. And of course many thanks is advance.

Hi,

First let me say great work on the stacks and flying cow too!

I may have found a bug that I wanted to pass on. I have been using a stack for recent items (C:Users...AppDataRoamingMicrosoftWindowsRecent) with the latest Objectdock in Vista RC1. Whenever I clear the list of recent items in the start menu they never get removed from the dock stack.

I have tried deleting the docklet then clearing the recent items, restarting and then reinstalling the docklet in Objectdock, but every item that was ever in the recent items folder still continues to show.

Your doing super work! Please keep it up!

I made a shell32 leopard for myself. The big folder for preview, i did leave blank, so you just view the four thumbnails of the pictures in the folder.

It seems that the "open folder" shortcut doesn't change the text on a fan...:

I'm using Objectdock

#484305

@ K8ch: I already mentioned that and matonga is working on that ;)

Btw: I suggest to use "Öffnen" instead of "Ordner öffnen" because that's too long in Grid-Mode. It will only display "Ordner öff..."

#484306

oh sry, I'm new to the forum^^

ok, I think I'll do that...

this docklet is great! so functional :D

#484307

I'm using Rocketdock,everything works fine

#484315

That's the best docklet that I've ever seen..

btw, is it possible to have multiple stack docklets in the dock without having the message ''Category existing already'' when i start the dock?

#484316

s it possible to have multiple stack docklets in the dock without having the message

That seems to be a dock problem I had that with a different version of RKLauncher so I dropped back to a previous version. You could go into you docklets folder copy the stacks docklet rename it to stacks 2 and do the same with the dll stacks2.dll then you could run it but you would have to do this with every stacks docklet you wanted in your dock.

#484323

thanks!

thats no problem, i have just 3 stacks :D

#484324

I am not sure if others have experince this problem, but sometimes ( most of the time ) the stacks docklet lags with it's opening animation. I can get it to stop lagging sometimes when I change view from Grid to fan, though sometimes that does not work.

#484325

@matonga if you decide you would like to go into docklet development for awhile a nice pop mail checker that uses ssl would be nice, also an rss feed widget that displays number of unread and when left clicked would display a window like the stacks docklet to display the feed. Just a thought I think you could produce some of the best docklets seen since the Dock was made for windows.

#484331

O_o when this came out???? omg! cooooooool : - )))))))) A problem though, keep clicking the stackie thing (fast fast fast) and notice the speed lag :) If all items in the Fan or grid can be manipulated, (context menu options such as rename, delete etc etc) then it would be AWESOME! Also, if current view settings such as (Thumbnail, Tiles, icon, List, Details) are respected then, COOLEST :D

#484344

This application is already near perfect - stable, smooth and fast here - thank you!

#484345

I put the text "FINDER" in the first of 3 stacks I have, the first one works fine but the others all say Open Folder even tho' they have the same text in it. Ideas?

#484347

No doubt about that :D Keep up the good work Matonga ;)

#484348

@ gogsythreat: Let me have a guess: The Stack which says "Open Folder" instead of "FINDER" is in Fan-Mode, right? This is a know issue and Matonga will fix that. Just give him some time :)

#484355

I've just dicovered a new minor issue, sometimes the folder icons have a white outline. To get rid of it, I have to set the link to any other folder, then reset it to the the folder it pointed to initially.

#484373

Work great in objectdock.

I can only say THANK YOU for this great piece of software.
