Just installed ObjectDock, and enjoying it! With the news that Windows 11 has now removed its hidden old taskbar functionality, meaning ExplorerPatcher and StartAllBack cannot support a vertical taskbar on the right or left side of the screen, I am looking for a way to at least somewhat replicate the vertical task-launching AND app-switching experience. ObjectDock takes care of the task-launching side very nicely, and I am wondering how much of an effort it would be to be able to make it display multiple items for each app. For example, I usually have multiple windows of the Firefox browser open, multiple instances of Visual Studio open, etc.
Currently, if there are multiple windows of an app open, clicking on that app's icon in ObjectDock brings all of the windows forward so that they are on top of all other windows. This is nice behavior, as opposed to bringing only one of the app windows forward, which might not be the one the user wants. It would be even better if there was an option to show multiple Firefox icons, each representing one window, so that the user can choose which one to activate! Often, I need to compare one particular window's contents with one window in another app, so I don't want all of the app windows brought forward. (e.g., learning to code from a tutorial in a Firefox window, with a Visual Studio window next to it)
I also looked into your other apps, like Groupy and Tiles, but it seems they are not quite helpful in this regard. I understand that using them you can group apps or switch between related ones, but I like to keep everything open all at once on my large widescreen monitor. I suppose it's just the way my brain works.
Yes, I understand this would end up with a lot of duplicated icons on the dock, but I don't mind this at all... switching apps would be greatly enhanced!
Thank you for your consideration and continued work on ObjectDock! It is really needed to make up for Microsoft's deficiencies with Windows 11 these days.
