I'm a long time ObjectDock user, and I was stunned and overjoyed when I found out today that ObjectDock had received a new version after so long. It would be amazing if this would solve my minor issues with the old version under Windows 11 (extra blank "library" windows appearing as applications on the taskbar is really the only significant thing), and give me peace of mind that ObjectDock would continue to function for a long time to come.

Unfortunately, ObjectDock 3 seems to break compatibility with the handful of ancient but still perfectly functional user made dockets I use, and it seems to lack multiple features that are important to me, the most important of which is Stacks. Being able to quickly browse a folder in a nice, neat grid with one click from anywhere while doing anything else is incredibly useful, it's the feature that most attracted me to ObjectDock in the first place and I still use it constantly. But this type of docklet appears to not work at all in ObjectDock 3, even though it's still one of the built-in docklets.

Even after all this time I'm not an advanced ObjectDock user, I don't even use tabbed docks, but I need stacks to work. Am I missing something? Or if this function isn't in ObjectDock 3, is it planned to be added back?

I'm also curious whether I'm entitled to an upgrade discount. That's apparently tied to "ObjectDock 2 Plus," while my product key from way back was simply for "ObjectDock," so I assume not. That's fine, I'd be more than willing to pay 10 bucks for an updated version that keeps working with all the features I'm used to. I'm just curious.

Thanks for returning to support ObjectDock after all this time! But please, make sure it's up to the standard of what was already out there. I'd really like to support this!
