Circle Dock / Re: Can you think of a way to add tabs to the circle?
« on: September 20, 2008, 11:14 PM »
Hi! great app!! the most useful part i find about it is the ability to drag the dock as soon as is pops up on the edge (the MMB I use a lot for other things, and don't like to use hotkeys for docks). Even though it still lacks some features, there's future for this. Customization is also great, being realtime; and dragging icons to change them is just awesome.
I currently use objectdock (yeah... yeah... i know... I tried every other dock and this one was the best for my system), and with the use of the stacks docklet, my desktop is now clean. I used the standalonestack for a while too, but the integration of the docklet in the dock is way better (and saw the post about using it with CD, also).
I can see where this post is going. If CD improved in the "stack" management somehow or the "folder" use, it just would be great. The problem with the current use of the folders (personal point of view) is that although you arrange your own folders and shortcuts inside them, you can easily loose track of where you're at in the, let's say, dock tree (folder inside folder).
How about, instead of tabs, you could implement your own stacks, coded inside the app, by changing (I really don't know at how much extent) the code so that instead of going into a folder with its ring of shortcuts, you click a folder and show an extra ring with the folder contents?
(hope the link works)
You can already have many rings of shortcuts... why not use the same principle when clicking a folder?
just my two cents....
Best regards everyone!!!.
