[quote who="Uvah" reply="172" id="3732322"] Just a mention. The Atmospherica theme has three buttons on each dialogue...green which does nothing, amber which is a rollup and red which closes it. This would be an interesting feature I think. Add them to the grid stack and when you move it you can also roll it up. What you think?

Don't forget: the quickest and easiest way to customize icons in the dock and Regular Shelf tabs (especially if you want to customize a bunch of icons at once) is NOT by going through each of those items in turn clicking Entry Properties but by opening the folder with all your custom icon images in Explorer and then dragging and dropping those images, one by one, into the icon in the dock you want to customize. If you are doing it right, the icon will start glowing when you h

Here's a new one for next beta to help boost your productivity: New Search Filter: As you know, the Shelf, Drawers and the new Grid Stacks can display the contents of folders in your hard drive. Folders, in turn, can have hundreds or even thousands of files. Locating the file you want can thus become time consuming, and this

Could be a video driver problem then. Anyway, in relation to this beta I forgot to say what's new (besides the obvious fixes and all the other fine tuning): Icons in Grid Stacks are now cached, so the second time you open them should be much faster. You can now set folder type Shelf Tabs, Drawers and even other Grid Stacks to open folders in them as Grid Stacks by default (You can do that in the Tab Properties dialog or in the Contents tab of Properties). You can

Nothing to do with the thumbnail: it had to do with the tab getting unexpectedly refreshed while playing the delete animation (which is why you saw the icon re-appear when it should not do that) and that being the last icon in the list.

Ross, do you have WorkShelf set to ask for confirmation before deleting items? Also, what do you mean by 'the dialog didn't appear right away' and 'opened halfway' ? You mean the error dialog, right? And finally, do you remember if when you deleted the picture file it was already showing the image's thumbnail or was it still showing as an icon?

For me the best AV software ever has been, without a doubt, ESET Smart Security. I got in touch with them back in 2006 (so a few years ago lol) as a software developer to report a Nod32 false positive on Winstep applications and they immediately invited me to become part of their beta testers group (talk about good customer service lol). I have been running ESET AV software ever since then and I only have GREAT things to say about it, absolutely love the thing. <
