This app is great, i must say. However after upgrading my iphone to 2.1 i am having problems with the hidden apps (poof). They don't show in dock, any of them!! I have the option in the settings enabled. Before upgrading it worked excellent. Any issues known? Anyone having the same problem?

Thanks a lot!

Hey Nate,

Not sure if there is a fix for this yet but like the poster a few replys above said "any idea why camera, ipod and photos won't show up in the program display if they are hidden? They show up in dock preferences but no matter where i list them they will not display on the sunburst or slider at the bottom as long as they are hidden. No problem with any other apps, just these 3"

1) Yor software's amazingly useful!
2) I'm sorry to ask this, but I'm unable to find a way to add more categories for the applications (iPhone 2.0.2)... How is it supposed to be done?

Thanks.

Nate, I had a great suggestion for a possible easier and more intuitive way of navigating the dock app.

1) you slide your thumb from the bottom up to launch the dock just like its current form.

2) you release your thumb from the screen. and the dock stays active. doubletap any grey area and the dock disapears "or" launches whatever its highlighting (for an app).

3) you swipe your finger from left to right or right to left and it SNAP moves whatever icon you are on 1 unit. so you wanna go left a few icons, swipe swipe swipe.

4) the same swiping technique to go up and down directories. like you swipe upwards on games, and games then pops up. the key difference is you don't have to hold your thumb down, everything is locked on screen until you doubletap to either launch or minimize the dock.

This would eliminate a ton of user issues. Here is where I have the most trouble.
a) when I try and launch a game or a prgram that has a hefty list, just releasing my thumb to activate the app sometimes moves the icon, its near impossible to keep the dock still on a large list and release your thumb... unless you are a surgeon.

b) like the person above said, having to navigate your fingers all the way to the side of the screen is really difficult and not very user friendly. by using my method of locking the dock open and swipe moving 1 at a time you are guaranteeing that everything always remains centered. you swipe from center. you double tap center. etc. total elimination of the side thumb not center issues.

c) I see 100% accuracy with launching apps by using the dock locking method, its virtually impossible to accidently launch the wrong app.

hopefully you'll take my suggestion in consideration :)

Having the same issue...since those are all stock iPhone apps, I can't figure out why just those 3 would do that, lol. :)

Absolutely awesome app, probably my favorite so far! I love that you made it work with Poof.

My only request would be to, if its possible, make the left and right scrolling scroll a touch farther with smaller movements. I generally use my thumb when one-handing my phone, and hitting apps that require that I move my thumb to the edge of the screen is really difficult.

For now I've resolved it by just breaking up categories further (games 1 and games 2, for instance), but having to move less distance on the screen to get from one end of the app icons to another would be awesome.

Again, fantastic app!

Just sent Dock 3.1 to Shaun for packaging.

Changes:
- "Sunburst" modes have configurable flat menus on the left and right
- Sees apps hidden by Poof
- (Hidden) category isn't shown in Dock
- Performance enhancements with large categories
- Refuses to work on top of Settings (interfered with Wifi password entry otherwise)

If you're impatient, paste this into a root SSH terminal on your iPhone to install:
apt-get install wget; cd /tmp; wget http://devices.natetrue.com/Dock-3.1.tgz; cd /; tar -xvzf /tmp/Dock-3.1.tgz; killall SpringBoard

Could be the "Categories" Killer.

A few suggestions.

1) release a new dock version immediately that allows the *Poof hidden icons to be displayed. For me the program I want to use (dock or categories) is the one that allows me to hide all my icons on my springboard so I don't have to scroll 16 pages of icons. if I am using dock to launch apps, why even have them on the springboard?

2) Program slows to a crawl when browsing large groups of icons "games" is a common one. Hopefully this can be overcome with optimization, but a good workaround would be to allow subfolder categories, ie: Games > Action > or Games > Classic / Games > Emulation you get the idea. This would keep the popups smaller and I've noticed a big speed improvement using this method.

feature requests:
I'd love the dock to be easier to launch? for me i keep hitting my dock icons on accident trying to get my finger on that 1 pixel sliver on the bottom of the phone? is there a trick to it? maybe some sort of double tap or side swipe? or touch the clock? maybe have multiple ways for people to launch it.. also figure that its launching in each program as well as on the springboard, so all programs may have a easier way of launching it? maybe doubletap home button?

sorry for the long comment :) keep up the good work! love it so far.

Whats up Nate, first off, GREAT APP - thanks for the quick release. A couple things. Could there be an option to switch between the CATEGORY style and the OLD SUNBURST on the bottom right corner. It was great when I could just roll my thumb and QUICKLY start an application. The new style is a little hard to navigate through. Frankly its a lot easier to swipe my finder and push on the standard Application icon. From looking at the comments on MMI and Appleiphoneschool.com a lot of people share my thoughts on this. The old style was AWESOME. Also, im sure you know from the comments above... the POOF apps are not showing, not a big deal.

I know these things you probably already consider but just want to know for sure.
- Delete Categories
- *bug* Disable dock for apps doesnt work (maybe its just me?)
+ Instead of disable for dock, you should just be able to remove the APP from a category.
- *bug* Hidden apps (POOF!) dont show up
