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

Thanks, I've been thinking on expanding position with center when dock is not in full width/height. You can try using a wrapper for your app, in 32se AmigaOSse/menuicons/Autorun look how i did it... ;) hope you get it working ;)

Just tried the 1.71 version and those 2 last features you added made it the perfect dock for me!!! All features work fine including the unpacker output and also the script and ARexx support. My extraction tool now works fine!!! Well done and thank you

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.

Thanks for the input!

I've never seen dock outside screen, can't drag it either outside. I have a version that puts dock more correct way, hope it helps!

Your last update 1.72 fixed that too. Now when in full length, it stays in it's position in every reboot. In general positioning in all styles (X), with all backdrops and overlays now work fine. Changed my docks in all my installations (about 10) and now use QDock instead of WBDock. Well done again
