Reply to ObjectDock 2.0 any time soon? in ObjectDock Stardock Forums

[quote who="Julien" reply="10" id="2018586"]That's what happened, right? You contacted them and they proposed to give you a refund?[/quote] Nope... they said they'd have it fixed up right away! Four months later and I can't even get the version of the software that I had when I made my purchase. Support had me "try reinstalling" which downgraded my version. I can't even get back to where I was when I paid for my subscription!

Reply to New User with Questions on MS Outlook, Quicken and Locking Dragging in ObjectDock Stardock Forums

Bug #1 and #2 are caused by the respective programs. They treat the screen differently than other programs so OD can't get a proper capture of their window. It's something that Stardock should work on, but definately not caused by them. I believe that Bug #3 has been fixed in the latest paid versions of OD. I used to have the same issue a while ago, but now all is working as it should. There are third party recycle bin docklets, but I had problems with those as well.

[quote]I'm currently experience the screen flicker/repaint issue[/quote] This is totally a Quicken issue. It even does this with a fresh install of Windows. The flickering issue is definately not caused by anything made by Stardock.

[quote]When will this be fixed?[/quote] Probably never. There are some bugs in ObjectDock that are YEARS old and haven't been fixed. If OD isn't doing what you want right now, I'd get my money back and wait for the updates. If you need to, use the free version in the meantime.

Just a question... Would it be unreasonable to request a refund after using the program for six or more months? Many users have been patiently waiting for bugs to be fixed and decided to wait instead of instantly requesting a refund.

Now that Microsoft is working on Windows 7... in ObjectDock Stardock Forums

When Microsoft came along with Vista, Stardock used it as a convenient excuse not to fix ObjectDock. They said that they were too busy making it work with Vista to fix any pre-existing bugs. Now that Microsoft is working on Windows 7, does that mean that Stardock won't have time to correct any of these pre-existing bugs, or any of the Vista related bugs? ...and yes, I am HONESTLY asking this question with the intent of getting an answer, not stirring up trouble.

Reply to Welcome to ObjectDock support in ObjectDock Stardock Forums

First and foremost, I would like to see the bugs in ObjectDock addressed. Many have been around for a long time. There are also a lot of us Vista 64bit users out there. As for added functionality, I'd like the following: - have the option to drag/drop icons onto a folder shortcut and have the icon go to that folder instead of being added to the dock. - change the default location that ObjectDock starts to browse from. All my icons are located at "C:\Windows\Icons" -

Reply to Problems on system with two monitors in ObjectDock Stardock Forums

[quote]Biggest problem is that I cant drag icons anymore... spacers seem to leave artifacts in their location on the opposite monitor[/quote] I've had this happen as well. The screen coordinates on the second monitor aren't mapped correctly, so the dock is drawn in one place, but is active elsewhere. A couple things to try. Use display properties and drag the second monitor to the opposite side of the first. Also, if they are at different resolutions, try aligning the to

[quote who="Foppe" reply="18" id="1968386"]what definition of recent is used when speaking the sentence "recent purchasers will get their update for free"?[/quote] Well, Stardock has been commenting for years that ObjectDock 2.0 is coming out. If you've purchased ObjectDock before January 2010, you're probably out of luck. I still see bugs in OD that have been there for years. They will NEVER be fixed because Stardock is busy making new junk and can't be bothered to fix the st

[quote who="Littleboy" reply="15" id="1955540"] This has been discussed to death in other threads, but in a nutshell: large archive support (pretty important for new games), increased security, a more manageable code base, better external publisher support (TBD) and a few other things. In any case, you can still use Stardock Central for everything ODNT. [/quote] I wasn't questioning the value of Impulse. I was questioning the resources that they wasted develo

Just wondering... was there ever a fix for this issue? I'm now running Vista Home Ultimate with an ATI video card and Quicken still freezes OD in it's tracks. Currently running OD+, but don't have the version number handy at the moment. Intuit won't acknowledge that there are any issues at all. I know that they won't be seeing any more of my money. Thanks!
