ObjectDock 2 is out of beta, so you can upgrade to the latest stable build, either through Impulse or the ObjectDock page. ObjectDock 2 doesn't allow for dropping files onto launchers to launch the app with the file as input. This was removed to avoid confusion between launching with the file and adding the file to the dock. Unfortunately, there isn't a setting in ObjectDock that allows for fine-tuning of system tray icon size.

There's this magical way of opening files I discovered! It's called "double-click"! And in Objectdock you can even "Single-click"! It's incredible, you last century draggers should try it sometime instead of complaining that OD doesn't perform such a stupid task.

The hideous display of the system tray icons has also bugged me. I chose to not view them all together just because it makes my desktop look like a joke. You can shrink them but they still look unappealing.

I find "Open with" rather cumbersome and certainly not an ideal method.


You first have to search in the crowded context menu to find the "open with" command, then if it's a common extension you have to sift through a rather large list of randomly selected program by windows which may not contain the one you need.

I mean it's not a difficult thing to do, but after repeating such action a gazillion time it's possible you want to do it another way.

Dragging the file on a nice big dock icon may come to mind.

ObjectDock v2 is probably the abandoned project. I regret that i bought v2, because i must return to old slowest version 1.9x, because what? Because I can not drag and drop files into program icon. This is one of the main feature, whose i use during my job.
It is very sad, that such good software like OB is no longer develop.

I will pass this suggestion along.
