Reply to When my computer crashes, ObjectDock sometimes loses it's .ini file - why? in ObjectDock Stardock Forums

[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="13" id="3663577"] I suspect what is happening is you have had a number of BSOD in a row and ObjectDock may well have code to detect it failed to shutdown itself cleanly multiple times in a row in which case it might decide the file is corrupted and causing ObjectDock to crash. Fences for example would shut itself down in such a situation if it happens within a set time of starting up. I cannot be sure as I am not involved in the developm

[quote who="Jafo" reply="8" id="3663553"]It happens because you have an unstable OS system which is apparently suffering BSODs. It is an effect, not a cause. To circumvent you either need to make your system stable and/or backup any and all system files to enable restoration of function, not just with Object Dock, but with ALL system-specific programs/addons. The BSOD you are experiencing is corrupting data and causing issues as your computer fails to compl

[quote who="DaveBax" reply="4" id="3663540"] This doesn't solve your situation but in case you don't know how to save your setting. Open OD settings. Click on "Troubleshooting Options" On the new window click on "Open my ObjectDock settings folder so I can backup my settings" You can copy and paste what you want to save to a new folder and save it. At least if you do lose your setup files you can just use the saved ones and overwrite the other ones. I

When my computer crashes, ObjectDock sometimes loses it's .ini file - why? in ObjectDock Stardock Forums

I have noticed this for some time... when my computer (Windows 7 x64) gets a BSOD, sometimes ObjectDock - when it starts after a reboot - goes back to its default settings (that is, it brings up its default dock instead of what I had set up). I go to examine the .ini files for ObjectDock, and the one with all my dock settings is no longer there, but gone completely. Why would a system crash cause ObjectDock to rewrite its own .ini file with default values? There hasn't bee

When can we have solid separators that don't take up whole icon size? in ObjectDock Stardock Forums

Will ObjectDock EVER have the ability to add separators between icons that don't take up whole icon block sizes themselves? After quite some time, there still seems no way to do this. :-( - Tim

How to update ObjectDock Plus WITHOUT using Impulse? in ObjectDock Stardock Forums

Hi folks... I have ObjectDock Plus, and I want to be able to retrieve updates, but I DON'T want to install Impulse -- I just want the updated installer. Does StarDock not let people install updates without Impulse? That would suck, and feels an awful lot like a kind of adware mentality to installers; the Impulse download page is very advertisement-y and I don't want any more software installed that has nothing to do with the one thin

[quote who="Bebi Bulma" reply="15" id="2942462"]This is what mine looks like: Reduced 91%Original 658 x 178 I just set the separator image to use one included in another dock background. Only thing is that it's still the same size as all the other icons, which kinda sucks.[/quote] Yeah, that's the thing - I would like it if it took up just enough space for itself, not a whole cell. In any case, I'm using the Tabbe

Reply to Changing Separator in ObjectDock Plus v2 in ObjectDock Stardock Forums

Does anyone know WHY this is the case? I am using a tabbed dock, and for something that has a zillion features, it seems weird that a separator in a tabbed dock should appear as a blank icon of the same size as the other icons in the dock. Why not have a single-line separator? It really is annoying me that I paid for this thing, and a simple feature like that is missing. - Tim
