ObjectDock submit rejected!!!

I uploaded some of my very first works, the ObjectDock icons, all in 128x128 PNG. Then I waited. And today I received an email telling me that my uploads were all rejected

The reason was, as they said, file must be in ZIP format, when I uploaded pure PNG. But how about this guy?

His work is in PNG, not zipped.
I'm totally discouraged. Please help!

I'd suggest a re-submit in zip format. Just because someone else slipped through doesn't change the requirements. Hope you get them approved this time.

I think mine got rejected too, as it was gone after few days, but there was no email for me telling what i did wrong, so as i uploaded 2-3 times with different file format such as ZIP, ODOCK, and PNG, all were gone without notice.

Oh well..

Personally...I'd like to see all icon/pngs rejected (ejected) from the ObjectDock library.

Then we could call it the WebDock library.

We could call it the WebCavGoob library!

Either that or we should be allowed to post our docks in the Misc Icons library as well!

Well, the Misc Icons contain pngs & the docks are pngs....

It would be nice to see docks actually get their own library. An actual Object "Dock" library!

If Myself...Cavan1...gooberbean and a few others ever removed our docks...you'd have nothing more than Misc Icons 2.

We get no respect!

[ducks for cover]

Shouldn't that be "docks for cover"

Its nothing personal Banditedu...its just that Icon/Pngs are being uploaded to 3 libraries...IconPackager...Misc Icons...and the ObjectDock library...which I personally don't think they belong in. Let me put it this way again...remove all docks/docklets and and you have nothing more than a Misc Icons 2 library. And each time someone uploads a slew of icons/pngs the docks get buried farther and farther back into the library.

ObjectDock should only be docks and docklets. If Icon/Png creators can upload they're stuff to the ObjectDock library then dock/docklet creators should be able to upload the the Misc Icons library...but we aren't...and this has been an ongoing gripe I've had here.

Note: To me...Icons & Pngs are basically the same thing but with a different file size and appearance...but are still used for the same purpose.

uh huh...hows about an object dock icon gallery or folder...but if I remember correctly, one may serch the objectdock gallery set to only certain criteria, such as docks, docklets, animation and the like...I know this adds a step and doesnt prevent the new docks/docklets from getting buried by the sudden onslaught of thousands of new icons uploaded at once, but (truthfully) isn't this a solution?

I mean, when I search for a new zoomer or docklet, I simply set the search in the OD gallery to look only for those specific items...

I agree cuz it makes more sense to me.
When I go to the Object Dock gallery I'm looking for docks.

The icons/pngs should go in the misc icons gallery. Even if they were made for ODock, they can still be used elsewhere, like DTX.

All libraries have that option Bandit...but if you go by that then have just 1 library and use that option in your search. The thing is Icons/Pngs should simply be kept in the "Misc Icons" or IconPackager libraries...and Docks/Docklets in the Object"Dock" library.

Its like this...
WindowBlinds - WindowBlinds Library
Icons/Pngs - Iconpackager & Misc Icons Library
Docks/Docklets - ObjectDock Library
Cursors - CursorXp Library

Each app has its own library...but for whatever reason the ObjectDock library has been invaded by Icons & Pngs. It maked no sense.

The thing is...not enough people care for anything to ever get done about it. And several times I've consider not even making docks anymore or just moving everything to my gallery because of this.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKK

He said the "P" word!!!

I think we had a petition to ban petitions and it was passed by a preponderance of persuasive points pursuant to pathological processes.

I thought we had a poll to see if we needed a petition to have a poll regarding petitioning to have a poll to start a petition.

That would be cool Jafo! At this point...since its gone on for so long it would be a huge task to sort it out...But if its possible and your willing and need help, I'd be more than happy to tackle it with you.

I, for one, am amazed at the alliteration skills of some of the posters in this thread!
(reference reply #17)

As for seperating the icons from the docks, I'm not against it at all...and will help in anyway I can, just so newbies are directed to a place to find icons that will work on their docks when the download the programs...I wasn't trying to start a debate, or God forbid, a petition...It's just in all my time here I have created nothing but icons and I kinda took offense at the supposed tone that all png/ico should be rejected. I understand gizmo's line of thinking, and will submit my icons into whatever gallery they eventually wind up fitting into. I'm just saying, if we move them into the icons gallery, we need good signs to direct folks to where they can find icons for their docks, not just for windows or other OSs.

I have read this post over several times, and can not find anywhere that two consecutive words begin with the letter P. I would like you to read it over again see what you think...pretty please

Bandit...Calm down bud...the petition reference is kind of a long running joke...and the issue of icons/pngs in the ObjectDock library has been a topic of discussion amongst some of us for some time now...in other words...its nothin new...And I personally don't want to see anyones stuff rejected...my gripe has always been the mixing of libraries...it should have been stopped some time ago but at the time I think the staff was short handed and it never got handled. As far as newbies needing directions...I think the library titles pretty much handle that. Its like Bichur said..."When I go to the Object Dock gallery I'm looking for docks." And that pretty much sums it up. But your not doing anything wrong, so like I said...don't take it personally.

I think once your here a bit longer and get to know the regular posters better you'll get a better understanding of when someones joking around. You have to take some comments witha grain of salt.
