Hello again

I will give solitaire a try but I know QDock works cause I use it on the 6.69 Amiga SE installation that I have. That is why I decided to buy it separately to use it on my other installations. I really doubt Vampire is the issue because everything runs perfect from Amiga OS 3.1, 3.9, 3.1.4, 3.2.1, Amikit, ClassicWB including all sort of programs and applications I use, from very demanding ones to simple ones.As far as the icon.librady I use the very latest one form PeterK 51.4.568. The one which comes with QDock is the one before that 51.4.567. Regarding png library I don't have any and I never heard of any before. Do you mean png.datatype? I just tried Solitaire and it works just fine. Very nice quality by the way

hmmm, ok. This is strange, I'm to release a new QDock tomorrow and it has a startup bug(Random) I believe is fixed now, I'm testing testing... Maybe it will fix your issue !? You have it installed in sys:system ? otherwise it will not work

Hi there

OK I will try the new version tomorrow and see what happens. Yes I do have it in sys:system . I did it manually at the beginning and didn't work so I deleted everything and decided to run the installation script which did exactly the same and still didn't work either.

UPDATE

I tried it in 2 other 3.2.1 installations and on a 3.1.4.1 and it doesn't work in any of those. Same exact behaviour in all of them. Maybe you could send me privately today the new version to try it and see if it makes any difference.

UPDATE 2

I even tried it on a 32SE light installation which I have from you and it still doesn't work

Hello again. Just tried it and we have made some progress. Now the bar and its icons are visible but half of it is hidden beyond the lowest part of the screen and the settings menu is not accessible. Also a small part of the dock has different colour to the rest of it. Please see photo.

edit in CIU folder prefs file, first 2 lines are dock coordinates, set them 250 & 250 and restart, it should not be possible to go outside screen? hidden overscan ?? just add icon or remove and it will fix background color ... this is because one icon I set is not on your system ;)

Hello again. Just tried the Dock as well. Followed your instructions and all is ok. I attach photo. Settings work fine too. Sometimes toggling between different types of dock looses completely the position and you can see the dock hanging just below the top WB bar. Regarding the position of the dock is better if someone sets it in the prefs file himself. That way the dock appears exactly where you want it to be, otherwise not exactly. One thing I noticed it doesn’t support is the ability to sense when dragging a file over it that needs an action (ie I had an extracting tool on my dock and when I dragged an archive over it, then immediately it started de archiving it). That is something for the next versions maybe.

The last thing I want to mention and I don’t know if it is a dock issue or not is the fact that sometimes I experience a lock up on the menu of apps that are open and I will explain why I say it here. I first experienced it in the new 6.70 32SE installation and didn’t know what to make of it. Then swapped CF card and used one of my 3.2.1 installations which is rock stable and I installed the QDock there. All went fine but for the first time I had a lock there too. It locks on an app menu and it needs turn off in order to come back to life.

Maybe you could look into it. I will continue to test it and swap between WBDock2 and QDock and see results.

It is a great dock though and I really want it to make it work flawlessly.

If you need me to test something just let me know.

Thanks a lot

PS. I just saw there is an even newer version 1.51. I will test that tomorrow morning. Do I just copy the QDock main file and it’s icon or I need to copy over all files? Or do I just keep the prefs file and change everything else? Thanks a lot and congratulations
