I m using the circle dock, but every time a reboot, I have to manualy start the app... how can I solve this in vista? I mean, I want the circle dock to automatic start with windows .If you're using v0.9.2.6 - available from this site - there's a configuration setting "Start with Windows".-jsam (October 14, 2009, 07:33 AM)
An other suggestion: Can you substitute the stackalonestack with ver2? In ver 2 there is shorthcut navigation feature ^___^The short answer is "unlikely" as I'm planning to support Docklets natively.-Rigel (September 30, 2009, 05:00 PM)
I found the problem.If the Dock is displaying its top level menu when it is hidden, the next time the Dock is shown, it would reconstruct that level completely. This has been fixed.
I had tried with or without memory saver but, to be sure, after your post, I tried again but i disabled all the options near memory saver so I found the bugged one: "Always return to top level". Now without this option CD is faster ^___^.-Rigel (September 30, 2009, 04:43 PM)
An other problem: if you enable "fast Draw" and click during item creation the item were drawn as many time as you click. To make a joke I click many many time and my twelve item became almost 120 but CD freeze. ^___^ If you disable event between the CD activation and the final rendering it is resolved.Good catch and I've fixed that one too.
Normal CD seems to create item only the first time on start and It only redraw on click. Your mod seems to recreate the item each time.Have you got the "Use Memory Save" enabled?-Rigel (September 28, 2009, 06:42 AM)
@ MarkhamSarge - I already have it, thanks! It's in the earliest source code on the CD site and is in Visual Basic. I also found, on this site, a demo of the ellipses shape.
If you require a copy of the older version of CircleDock with the spiral, please advise. I may have one archived in my BU HDD.
It would take me a couple of days, but I think I can get it to you.-sgtevmckay (September 28, 2009, 01:02 PM)
. There seems to be more demand for the ellipses and spiral shapes.Maybe, I made an error in upgrade.I haven't touched any of the code that paints the items, so I'm at a loss to know what is causing your problem. Eric already had coded the "Fast Draw" routines and they work well: all I did was expose that functionality by making the relevant option setting visible.
I have only 12 item in CD. If I enable "Fast Draw" CD takes some time to create each item and at the end It redraw instantaneously where I move mouse pointer. Normal CD seems to create item only the first time on start and It only redraw on click. Your mod seems to recreate the item each time.
It seems, in very simple code:
for each item{
if (item.image != null) item.redraw(); <--- error in my case
else new Item(x).draw();
}
It is possible I broke some file when I upgrade?
There is an option to made a log?

Thanks for your work.Thank you for your welcome!
With the continuing absence of VIP, I have feared for this project.

Your CD version start too slow,approximately 4 seconds.I'm not seeing that. Maybe you have too many items in your first level. Try enabling the "Fast Draw" option.-Rigel (September 27, 2009, 03:51 PM)
If I move the mouse during item creation at the end CD move to the new pointer position.I'm not seeing either of these behaviours either. But I'll keep a watchful eye open and try to fix if I see them.
In some cases if I click more time CD creates more icon of one item.
Two resquest if possible:I'll put this on a to-do list but it will require some fairly major changes to the item positioning code.
- open folder in a new external circle
- Solve the shortcut problem (I post a manual solution but It is boring).Fixed for the next (unofficial) release.
- Spiral shapeAdded to the to-do list for investigation.
I have a low spec portable computer and sometime, not too often, I lag while switch from from folder to folder within Circle Dock. Would you guys know some options I could disable so it would be less requesting for my small pc?I also run Circle Dock on a netbook, with similar specs to yours, and there's absolutely no need to disable rotation or disable shading/fading: they all work fine. However, the program is configured to wait until all the Items (or Icons) for a given layer have been created before it displays them. This delay is very noticeable on low-powered PCs such as netbooks.
Example, I disabled the rotation.
Should I disable the shading/fading within animation?
Any hints? =)
And excuse my poor computer skills.
