Hello again
Just tried the 1.53 version of QDock. The Drop on icon feature doesn't work and the responsiveness of the dock has gotten a lot worse and it is almost unsuable. Clicks don't register at all or when they do, the app opens a lot later. Same app mix ups like before where you click one app, it doesn't open and then another app opens (without clicking) depending on where your mouse is.
Hello again. Hope you are well. I have been trying the new QDock version 1.63. I can confirm that it is again usable.
Drop on icon feature works except for one of my apps which I am looking into it to see why. My app is a de archiving app which executes a bat file (script) in S:. I have added it in the Drop on app list but it doesn’t do anything when dropping an archive over it. I have called it XAD->RAM and wrote that exact name in the list. My app works fine in WBDock2. Also in UNpacker when dropping an archive on it, it doesn’t show an output window to know what is doing. If you just click the unpacker app and de archive a file then it shows.
It seems that there are no more lock ups and clicks register normally.
One remark is that when you click on an icon to open an app you should not move away from it immediately because the app usually doesn’t open. You should leave the mouse on that app icon you try to open for like a second and then it opens fine no problem.
Also changing Dock style with (X) it can mess up the position and it usually disappears from screen and you need to change the coordinates manually in prefs file to see the dock again.
That is all for now. Great effort, we are getting there
Hello there. Hope you are well.
Just tried QDock 1.67 and I have to say that the improvements are great. Positioning works fine now by just using the asterisk and if you reboot, it re appears exactly where you had it. Responsiveness has also been greatly improved!!! Well done. Drop on icon feature works fine (except my app).
One small thing regarding positioning. When I position let's say the dock to be in the middle of the lower part of the screen and I add or remove apps on there, the icons are added but the central positioning of the dock is lost and you have to repositioning it with the asterisk. Would be nice to be able for the dock to keep it's position and add the apps centering it's position automatically.
Anyhow the dock works fine now and it is a pleasure to use it. Well done again
I am copying over QDock to all my other installations and in one of them (again a 3.2.1 one) drop on icon doesn't work. I did a clean installation of QDock in that one but still it doesn't. Any idea why that happens?
Also, when you choose the full length dock style (X), on reboot the position is not right and instead of re appearing on the full length on the bottom of the screen where I left it, it appears shifted to the right and the left side of the dock is almost in the middle of the screen and the right end of the dock is beyond the right edge of the screen. You need to click the asterisk and bring it back to place on every reboot
Update for the drop on icon issue I had in one of my installations. It was my fault cause parm.library and WBRun was missing.
