It may or may not be a classic "bug", but now when you try to edit icon->change image a list of the standard Stardock OD folders for icons appear. That's dandy if you use just those folders. What happens if, like me, you keep your "games" icons in your "games" directory? Is there a way to add more folders to this pseudo library within the choose icon dialogue?

Google Chrome is the best browser on the market for me . Not as a so-called "secondary" browser but as a primary. Why? Because it is a superior experience for me than Firefox, Opera, Safari, or IE. As a tablet OS, I feel it will be a superior experience for me than the iPad, Android, webOS, BlackBerry, or Windows 7. I took umbrage at your presumption and fi

1) More flaw than bug. There is no hourglass icon when opposing sides are moving, giving the impression of frequent freezing and stuttering. One should be added. 2) Clicking on level-up notification icons (right side of screen) causes the unit to be highlighted as well. If in an army, it is easy to unintentionally move the unit without the army. This behavior should be changed. 3) My opponent (Ulrim or whoever the yellow dwarf-like faction is) somehow g

But here's a question for you. How much of this stuff you see is insincere? Does it rub you the wrong way because it's silly decision making or because the sucking up is entirely too thick for words? I get respect, relationship building, trust, cultural intelligence, etc. Insincere flattery is icky. I get making business decisions based on a relationship too. He's more expensive, but you trust the guy and he's come through before. That's honest.&nbsp

I can't wait to join that world, eh? My friend at an electronics measurement company tells me lots about sales teams who have too much sway over the course of product development. Of course they promise the moon in a bow "just cause the ocmpetition has it" and divert resources from products and strengths that would actually make the company a better competitor. Then he tells me about the near full year of documenting product lead content for European regulatory reasons and

Probably too late for this beta but worth putting out: The ability to open zip files with OD and have them auto-install to the proper directory just as WindowBlinds does. Messing with windows explorer to extract files is anathema. Edit: Yup. Navigating to the program folder and manually unzipping is soo 90's. Worse are the zip packages that incorporate tab *and* zoomer docks in one folder. I don't have the time to manually go in an separate

You know what would be cool Brad? If at the end some of the beta testers got a chance to contribute to a post mortem and talk a bit about what they learned about the development cycle and especially this development cycle. It would be very enlightening to see both yours and the layman's impression of it. (just the inner teacher in me coming out)

It was a general rant Aesir, not directed at you at all. It's just a rather strong reminder about those "taking a cold shower" and "getting flies with honey" aphorisms. I suppose it's ok if you just want to vent, but that's all you're getting out of the deal. Probably losing if you're getting a "reputation". It's a small world out there.

Good gravy peoples. What's wrong with realizing what the policy was all along, that you did an oopsie by not archiving, and quietly and politely asking if there's a way you can re-get the older version? Surely that'd work far better than copping a "My rights has been violated!!" attitude and pissing off the owner/president. I mean, no need to be a wilting flower, but no need to be a either. There's a time and place for pissing off Brad (like explaining

@c242: That's why texting exists. It's a polite way of carrying on a conversation without bothering people around you. It's perfectly reasonable if you're in close quarters to say "Pardon me, but would you mind too terribly taking it to text? The conversation is getting a little distracting, thanks."

Man, Boeing should never have dropped their bid to create service. That would've been a very profitable business. Criminy, the only thing that's kept Boeing up lately has been the missteps of the other aerospace companies.

Just came up with a feature idea. I occasionally use the same icon for multiple programs (similar programs or different parts of a suite). It would be cool to add something like a sub-text or super-text. That way I can have (as with the icons I used a moment ago), swiss army knife A, swiss army knife B, and swiss army knife C. That way the icons are differentiated visually without me having to crack open photoshop to change colors, add stuff, etc.

Two questions: - Should a 'dock user expect to pony up for version 2 and/or beta or is this a subscription model (no loaded meaning, just want to gear expectations correctly). - Will backgrounds be packaged for quick double-click-install the way wb files are? It would make life much much easier.

Thanks for the responses. Let me return in kind. 1) Search results sticking: this was a bug, it should be fixed now. so you know, there are still some issues with the way "most popular" sorting works, I am still looking into the backend reasons why this is happening but be assured this is not desired functionality, its just not all working yet [e digicons]:)[/e] You can't say fairer than that.

I gotta pile into the usability complaint. I apologize in advance for being annoying, but... I'll do it anyway. Forgive me. Searching is getting worse by editions, not better. Searching should be functional, fast, and intuitive to the user. Right now, all the filtering options are everywhere so it's not quick. Many of the interactions between the search options surprise me and take me awhile to figure out which hurts intuition. That I
