Reply to Icon duplication between "running programs" and "shortcuts" in ObjectDock Stardock Forums

Yeah, I've seen that, but as you say, it's all-or-nothing. What I want is a middle setting that says "show all running tasks that are not already represented as a shortcut somewhere else on the bar". That's how OS X does it, and that makes much more sense to me. I imagine it's possible; presumably Stardock are hooking into some Windows API to get a running task list and then building the icon display from it -- they'd need to add some filtering logic to that process to remove duplicate entries.

Icon duplication between "running programs" and "shortcuts" in ObjectDock Stardock Forums

Hi there. I've only been using Object Dock for an hour or so, evaluating the free to see if I want to pay for the Pro version, and so far most of it is very impressive.

I agree, it's fanastically written and has certain made me polish off my dusty copy of GalCiv2. I'll probably end up buying Dark Avatar now!

Uninstalled demo, now Stardock Central can't upgrade retail in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Brief one, this. My laptop had the GalCiv II demo installed while I investigated if it would run, as it's a low-end machine (I may detail how well it works in a separate post if anyone would like to know). It ran. so I went out, bought the game, and installed it. Weeks later, I ran out of disk space, so I uninstalled the demo... and now Windows's associations for the main GalCiv II install are messed up. Loading the launcher in the Start Menu gives me "install game" instead of "play",
