That's your opinions,I respected that,however,by accusing me always attacked people I have to disagree. Sometimes,there were things that easy to understand/contemplate/realize than kept pestering trivia that have been answered/known. I believe I did help users on some issues and that can be verified via my records. To put it simply,I have just commented I really think,there is no specific personal attacks whatsoever. You want my mouth shut?? I will do that on this thread as someone advised. 

(Frankly,it's quite cliché that irrelevant topic (characteristics) being brought out just because comments are not nicey-nicey.)  

Gaspershooters : You and me have issues beause of Your "I know everything" attitude. You often have no clue what it is all about and shoot totally nonsense advices into threads (See that Folder/Stacks thing). If You find that helpful, so be it. I do not.

Some people here have a LONG history in reporting bugs, making suggestions and actually caring about the products Stardock offers. That can be very frustrating at times even considering the think SD has a great product and witnessing how that product gets absolutely no love by it's creator. While some are sheep and hold their mouth shut to not disturb that happy-happy feeling they became so comfortable with, others question from time to time if everything is really allright in 'my liitle pony land'.

I would wager some of it might have to do with the fact MS seems to be dropping Os's like flies lately. Not to mention 95,98 and XP from what I understand were fundamentally similar so I would think it was easier to keep up on them.

After XP was released developers had 6 long years to get stuff working smoothly.. but after Vista's release there have been 2 new Os's released, in just 5 years. With all the changes between vista, 7 and win8 I would think it may get a little hard to keep up at times. Especially considering most of the SD stuff isn't your typical "run on top of the desktop" type of programs..

This desktop customization software deals directly with the OS's innards, in way's most folks couldn't even understand or want to. One little patch from MS could undo month's worth of work and send them back to the drawing board again. Much less trying to develop it for multiple os's at the same time. I would also Imagine that constantly getting griped at ad's to the stress they experience daily trying to sort this shit out.

I know from first hand experience that a developer wants to see his product succeed, he loves to get stuff to work, he loves seeing folks enjoy his creation.. and revels in the Kudo's that come with it.

It would also seem that Neil stated one of the issues with the start menu was a limitation of the OS. So why still beat on that dead horse? I would also imagine that possibly some of the other bug's are along the same line.

If at the least keep it civil, I can guarantee these guys aren't just sitting in the back drinking coffee and laughing at your dismay. Ive known some of them for years and their just not like that.

For those who think they can... I challenge you to do it better.

HG.

Exactly. Well said, HG.

This exactly is the point. There is no need to "defend" Stardock as no one meant to harm them. And they do great work on most of the other products (i use). And no one has a problem with a little sarcasm where it fits, don't you?

The point here is, that this special product get's way less "love" (as c242 put it) than all the other i know and use personally. And if this is meant that way – or whatever the reason is – we are simply asking for an statement. It surely is more easy to wait for something you know they are working on instead of not knowing even that, right?

So i don't get why there are some people not understanding this simple thing or even need to "attack" other users (but i guess none of the people here really meant it that way). If it does not interrest you or you are not affected by the problems we others have, so why don't you just ignore our thread? Obviously here are more people having problems than those that have none (i myself do not share all the problems mentioned here). Of course, not every problem is a bug or Stardocks "fault", but some are – as their own support confirmed. And all that is not the question behind all this because it is clear already.

So, doesn't the so often called "netiquette" do not count for the Stardock forums? Come on guys, you can do better than that! In the end they will close the thread as off-topic and no one will benefit from it. Why not instead trying to help each other, gather informations for Stardock to watch and maybe, in the end, they will do something about it.

So, i will do a list and description of all the problems i have found so far shortly and post it here to be more constructive. Let's see what happens ...

THen let's get back to topic. I don't know if you recieved my PM, but maybe it's better to do this here so others may benefit from it also: regarding your 64-bit link problem, can you please explain what exactly you do to create those links? I mean every single click on your mouse! Since i'm working with no problems on a Windows 8.1 Pro (x64) "Update" and had no problems with this so far on 64-bit systems, i may be able to solve this when you are willing to bring in the informations and maybe do a little of testing ...

For me, i use three docks simultanously on a two monitor set-up on the second (right) screen: a taskbar replacement on top with full folder preview, a systray replacement bottom right and a tabbed main dock with all the links bottom middle. First question here would be if you are using a tabbed dock or an animated one (those that are created as a default dock after installation) as they are not the same technically.

When i create a new link, independent from the source or path, i disable icon locking, simply drag the file to the dock and re-enable icon locking. That's it. However, i guess you are doing something very similar and you also said that it only is problematic when you are linking to "C:\Program Files", if i understood that correct? And when you try to use the link, it only points to "C:\Program Files (x86)" or does it have the correct and full path and just replaces "Program Files" by "Program Files (x86)"?

That far for now ... awaiting input!

I highly respect Your post and I am really touched by that aand I meant no disrespect to You nor coumminity helpers nor any Stardock employee.

But: I would respect something like 'The fact that they haven't answered the question makes me believe they just don't know.' for Freeware. But we are talking a whole selling product line here.

I am not sure, if we would really have seen such an amount of decreasing IconPackages for example, if IconPackaging wasn't such a frustraing process up to just gving up to even try. DesktopX was the same.

And back to topic I am sure, ObjectDock would still sell well with some bugfixing and feature adding (like integrating Stacks for example).

I like the way you see it (even that was clear to me before) and i also hope for the latter. It kind of was like that before ObjectDock 2. However, it is strange that this applicatioin seems to be always the last one taken care of. Or i just have luck with the selection of the other Stardock products i use, maybe.

Well I just installed ObjectDock 2 Pro on my Asus notebook, Windows 8.1 x64, and thus far I have been able been able to open the start menu on the right of my screen using the docklet, and have successfully added a 64 bit version of 7Zip from the program's folder, though not from a shortcut, as was expected.  However, while this may not be the preferred method for some, and drag and drop for all dock items would be nice, it's not that great an inconvenience to me.  It may take a little longer to add items via the program folder, but it's not like I will have to repeat it over and over once I have to dock set up to my liking.

Yes, having said I can live with it, I along with everyone else, would appreciate that some love and attention be given to OD2 to improve 64 bit functionality, etc.

"But typically SD makes it worth our while"

Seeing today what has been done with Multiplicity lately, I must say : 'Hell, yes !'

That's a bit like appreciating the bad times as well... so you know the difference and can really, really appreciate and enjoy the good times.

As for the update, well I don't like to complain and will make do with workarounds, but hopefully the guys/gals will get around to it soon and give OD some attention.
