vhanla Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Yeah, OpenGL is very slow on Win7, I was trying to continu with my projects based on that and they are very slow, and also I don't know why Aero deactivates while running those OpenGL apps. At least that was my experience on Win7. Link to comment
BOBAH13 Posted November 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 to aka120: I'm working now, not minimizing issue, now other more basic features are more important. For example compability with XP yea, you heare correctly, now I hope it was fixed, but we are still testing it. Link to comment

saiac Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 (edited) I hope this version will work well with win7, 'cos 5.6 can't magnify icons when mouse is over them. (no other softwares running)I tried several times, but it still doesn't work...Now I am planning to reinstall 7 ultimate Retail, so i hope 2.0.0 will perform perfectly on it.

Elevati0n Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 leave XP development...Win7 will be the OS ..IMHO Can we see a screen of XWD 2.0 alpha/beta...with your desktop. I can't wait anymore... Link to comment
BOBAH13 Posted November 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 We got to know, that on Vista it works well too, on XP it works well only under Debuggers like OlyDebugger, MSVC debugger and so on I think. Why ? I do not know, and spent a lot of time on this. not sure that it will be possible to use this dock on xp. Sorry. Link to comment
iJesse Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 That would actually be a good thing. It will give people reasons to upgrade lol! Link to comment

Sorry. well, I think that there is no more sense on making more apps to windows XP. 5.6 works very fine on XP, and like Elevati0n said, Win7 will be the OS. Link to comment
BOBAH13 Posted November 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 So guys, now working on interface, dialogs, and etc. the base stuff, then may be, I'm not sure, I will release the betta, but it's possible now, cause I haven't have work now. Will see. Link to comment
firecracker6 Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Hi Bobah13, I've been meaning to ask this for a while now but keep forgetting. I seem to remember that the last released version of XWD 5.6+ had some sort of 'debug' window pop-up that would appear every time there was some sort of exception, or fault while using the dock. It would give the user options such as "quit" or "continue"..Is there possibly some sort of switch you could pass the program to disable the debug popup? It's unfortunate when the dock experiences some sort of issue, but I would really like a way to continue using the dock without having to click 'continue'maybe something like: passing -nodebug to xwd shortcut to launch the program without debugging?Could/does the dock have something like this? Link to comment
BOBAH13 Posted November 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 It won't be neccessery, cause dock will never crash I hope this will be true, now without any bugs on seven, and vista I think. Link to comment
firecracker6 Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 My wording mistake, I'm sure your new dock will not need such My question was for your XWD v5.6+, I was wondering if that version had a way to disable the debug pop-up. I really do still use your v5.6+ on my XP machine at home Link to comment
RcNuke Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Hello everybody. I've been starting XWindows Dock 2.0.0. Why ? Cause I see that people like XWD, people want XWD therefore I cannot just leave this without any hesitating. Anyway, why 2.0.0 ? 2 - it's a new dock, not like before, new features, new animations, new way to programming, new language - new CORE. 0.0 - cause it will be a first version of the second XWD. Thanks. Vladimir. For me you are the Best. Microsoft need to contract you. Sorry my english. Link to comment
bluebyt Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 I am on XP, can afford to go with Windows 7, I am sad that maybe the Dock will not wok in XP! Link to comment
reenan Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 I am on XP, can afford to go with Windows 7, I am sad that maybe the Dock will not wok in XP! you know that you don't really need to buy W7. just buy a new computer with it. and leave XP, it sucks! Link to comment
Elevati0n Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 If Vladimir will release just a Win7/Vista(bleah) version, the users of Win7 will grow up...this means that Microsux will sell more Win7s and this must goes to this aspect: Vladimir will receive a bonus from Microsux for big selling of ... Just kiddin'... Anyway, Vladimir does a G R E A T job with this...keep going man! Link to comment
reenan Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 yeah, you can put a GIANT GREAT on this. Seems that he reached a very impressive progress in a very small amount of time. Link to comment
BOBAH13 Posted November 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Hi everybody. One questions for all. Arguments and Workdirectory and other similar properties, will they be available only for .exe and objects like Recycle (I mean "::{"....) ? Or I should add some extensions else ? What do you think ? Link to comment
Mattey Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 (edited) Hi everybody. One questions for all. Arguments and Workdirectory and other similar properties, will they be available only for .exe and objects like Recycle (I mean "::{"....) ? Or I should add some extensions else ? What do you think ? Man I think it's all right, as long as XWD is able to run shortcuts (".lnk") as RocketDock does. I mean, when you put shortcuts like MSOffice applications in XWD 5.6+, it gets some "workdirectory" issue, so the only way to make it work well, is putting the ".exe" files into the dock. So I think it's all right to put all system folders' default workdirectory just as you say ("::{") (like "My Computer", "Control Panel", "Recycle", etc...). Now, about the rest of apps and extensions, I think it's enough if it's able to run shortcuts as well. So I hope that issue we had in XWD 5.6+ is fixed. And well, about arguments, they should work as well on every file. Edited November 13, 2009 by Mattey Link to comment

Also when you put .lnk dock detects that it's a shortcut and get out icon location, icon index, path, descriptions, arguments, work directory and so on, and put it onto the dock. Link to comment

I understand exactly what you're saying. That's why I think those ".lnk" files SHOULD WORK AS shortcuts, they should NOT be just a way to detect the "file's location, parameters, etc..." What I'm saying is to add ".lnk" file extension to make shortcuts run as they do in RD. So I mean that it should be better if we can drag shortcuts in XWD, so they're like an "element", not just the original file with "launch" parameters. I hope you understand what I mean 'cause I don't really know how to explain this. That's why I said, they should work as they do in RD. Edited November 13, 2009 by Mattey Link to comment
