[quote]being able to drag and drop files into folders that are on the dock would be sweet[/quote] Currently, ObjectDock only links to items (directories, shortcuts, etc) and has no capacity for file manipulation at all. The problem with allowing file manipulation in ObjectDock is that it could cause problems with files getting misplaced. I could potentially see this in ObjectDock, but not by default.
[quote]Just wondering what to expect here -- 3, 6 months, a year, etc. [/quote] Sorry, I don't have any specific information regarding future ObjectDock beta releases.
Fences can only be locked in the sense that the fences themselves can't be moved. The contents, however, can still be moved. While the Fences installation itself can be shared between accounts, the registry entries are not shared between accounts, so the settings don't carry over.
What makes you say that Impulse is a resource hog? How much of your RAM and CPU is Impulse currently utilizing? I'm downloading a game right now and it's at ~20 MB RAM and 2% CPU.
So that you can try before you buy, there is a free version of CursorFX available for download here: https://www.stardock.com/products/cursorfx/downloads.asp
I'm glad to hear it! The thought of losing files can be a scary one. A few years ago I lost my primary and backup hard drives at the same time, so I know data loss can be very inconvenient. I definitely recommend making a backup of important files, and making two backups of very important files.
The amount of demand for this product doesn't warrant a whole lot of developer time. There has been talk regarding a new iteration of WindowFX, but I'm not aware of a release schedule at this time.
Thanks for the suggestions. Many of these are already logged as bugs and wishlist items. I have added the remaining items to the list.
ObjectDock only links to directories. ObjectDock doesn't even have the capacity to do any sort of file/folder manipulation. If files are moved and/or missing, then it isn't related to ObjectDock.
There is currently no list functionality, but you can adjust the size of icons on your desktop by holding down 'Ctrl' and scrolling with the mouse wheel.
To try to resolve the crash, try verifying ObjectDock through Impulse: -Launch Impulse. Right click on the entry for the application and choose "Verify Installation" -Impulse will check the integrity of the installed application. You should be given feedback as to the state of the installed application. -If errors are found, an update should be made available in Impulse. This is not an update to a newer version, but simply Impulse using the update mechan

I don't know of any plans to bring Window FX to Windows 7

One thing to note is that if you plan on using both versions, they do share the same settings folder. This means that any changes made to one version of the dock will affect the other.

If Impulse verifies that Fences is installed correctly, I recommend sending an email to [email protected] referencing this thread.
[quote]The free Ubuntu bar have beautiful effects, that this program yet do not implement.[/quote] There are a lot of dock programs for GNOME and KDE. Which one specifically are you referencing?
It's worth noting that when our applications are written, we don't test them on Windows XP x64. However, that doesn't mean that they will always fail, it just means that Windows XP x64 isn't a supported platform. In other words, it may or may not work, and if it doesn't we won't be able to provide technical support to aide in making it work.
At this point, are you able to change the cursor to anything? Are you able to revert to the Windows default cursor?
At this point I can only suggest to uninstall and reinstall, as verify installation doesn't always work on third party games.
[quote]When I access Internet Explorer 8 from an icon on Objectdock 2 beta, it doesn't run flash on webpages.[/quote] Please ensure that the Internet Explorer shortcut isn't set to run IE without add-on support.
[quote]Understood, but is it at least being actively worked on? Or has poor JB been moved back on Impulse again? [/quote] I don't have the information you seek. I can tell you that Jeff is always busy with multiple projects, though. That doesn't mean he isn't going to set aside time for working on OD+ 2 in the future. When specifically, though, I don't know.
