Problem with backgrounds in the Object Dock Library

In My Documents

I've downloaded and installed the paid version of OD. I also downloaded some tabbed dock backgrounds and placed them in the background folder under Object Dock Library in My Documents. When I go to change the dock background I get a blank list taking up as many spots as I have placed within the folder and then the backgrounds that appear under the actual program background folder C:\Program Files\Stardock\ObjectDock\Backgrounds. So my problem is when I go to change the background I only get the backgrounds kept in the program folder and blank spaces that cannot be chosen for those in the My Documents folder. Any ideas? Could this problem be related to the Windowblinds skin that I have applied?

The only folder Object Dock reads for the backgrounds is the ...\Object Dock\backgrounds folder. I'm actually not sure why stardock decided to create folders in the My Documents folder? Backup maybe?

I am able to select backgrounds in "My Documents\ObjectDock Library\Backgrounds"

That's where the new .dockzip format extracts items.

Are the tabbed docks names listed there? Have you tried selecting one?
I have a few tabbed docks that have no images in the list, but they work just fine.

No.

Yep; just moved them to test, they show up in OD config just fine.

Now have about 1/2 of backgrounds in each folder, other than being in alphabetical order of one folder then the other, they are all in the list for both standard and tabbed docks.

I guess I need to read the history text again. Thanks for clearing that up Koasati.
