Oops! Sorry, I forgot to reply to this. I did finally find a workaround, and it involved the "Folders with names" docklet. I just added a new Folders docklet, included the IP + path info as a destination, and it works a treat! No more 5 minute wait while it figures out whether it's reachable or not... [e digicons]^_^[/e] Thanks for the help Lantec. Drive mapping was going to be the next step, had this not worked.
That doesn't work either though - the NAS doesn't show up in My Computer, only in My Network Places. If there's a way to make a shortcut to that instead, I'll certainly try it. At the moment, my shortcut to the NAS is "\\192.168.x.x\". Any idea what the shortcut syntax would be to My Network Places? Thanks for the reply - I'm sure there's a way around it. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]
As the title reads; since I added a shortcut to my ReadyNAS storage device, ObjectDock takes several minutes to load, and is completely unusable until then. This only seems to happen when the ReadyNAS is switched off, and I assume it's because with it being a network device, the shortcut is essentially pointing to something that "doesn't exist" or is not responding due to its (currently) power-off state? Anyone else have this combination of NAS storage with a shortcut to it placed in
Thanks for that. I get the distinct impression that many people think I'm complaining about something that's my fault, or that I'm doing something wrong. What you're describing is exactly what I've been trying to explain since the start of this thread, and I suspect some folks, specifically those who haven't experienced it, don't even realise what we're talking about.
...and yet still you haven't absorbed what is the real issue. It [i]is not[/i] the download button that's causing the biggest problem - it's when trying to rate a skin, the drop-down menu vanishes before a rating can be made! Jeez... This whole thing could've been avoided if you at least read the posts detailing the problem. If you're still wondering why I'm getting tetchy about this, please put yourself in my position, where it appears that very few are even reading about the issue before flami
Y'know, if you guys aren't even willing or able to read the [i]whole[/i] issue, why bother commenting at all? The menu appearing when going for the download button is no more than an annoyance, but the main issue which you seem to be either ignoring or haven't even realised, is that when trying to rate a skin, the mouse-over menu disappears before the user can select the appropriate rating. If you are not affected by this, it doesn't surprise me that you don't realise how effing frustrating it i
killjosh, Phoon and Drill'n boss, I'm sure you are all enjoying taking little smart stabs at me for this, but bear in mind, it's not just little noob me who's experienced this "phenomenon". If you'd read the first half of this thread, you'd see a few names I'm fairly sure you'd be a bit less likely to snidely fob-off. Milksama (Stardock employee, no less) BoXXi Starkers Fairyy Messiah1 ...all seem to be having the same problem I'm sure you reckon is all down to
[quote]there's no need to rearrange things now when they'll be completely revamped soon.[/quote] lol... I guess not. It's not like people have been requesting this change for, ooh... over a year is it? Oh wait, yes they/we have!
I'm almost afraid to ask... 3 months on, and still no change?
I do indeed use CXP, and that would certainly make sense, but for the fact that it happens with any cursor set I use. Also, take a look at the first 10 or so posts in this thread - many people are reporting the exact same problem, many of them old-hands and skinners themselves.
[quote]Re-rating is easy enough if you "miss"[/quote] Missing the stars isn't the problem, it's the damn pop-up menu that disappears within a second or so of making it appear! Example : I hover (or click) the mouse over the star-menu, and move the cursor down towards the desired star-rating, and before it gets there, the menu disappears again. Over and over again... It's immensely frustrating.
[quote]Lets look at it this way, although the Star Ratings box is an annoyance it still works.[/quote] lol... That's the whole point Philly - it doesn't. It really doesn't, unless you develop a specific "technique" to avoid its foibles. There are two main problems : 1 - I've gone to click "download", only to inadvertently click on a >insert random number between 1 & 5 2 - Just the other night I downloaded a skin and thought, "This is great, five-stars
[quote]I think by prefacing your comment by not wanting to be rude you are in fact preparing readers that you are about to be rude and are asking forgiveness beforehand.[/quote] Nah, it was in retrospect, after having moaned about "what's the problem here?!?". :) Ironically, the dropdown to control smilies here is remarkably similar to the mouse-over in question... but for the fact that the smilie one works. ;)
[quote] Probably longer. The people that have Vista and 64bit systems want their problems fix also. Which do you think is going to get priority? [/quote] Not sure if you're replying to me Phllly, but if you are, the issue to which I'm referring is so apparently simple, that I doubt any web
[quote] What is the problem here?!? No problem. Just not a priority outside of the normal update cycle I'd guess. [/quote] I don't mean to be rude, but this delay seems unbelievably long-winded for such an apparently minor change. I posted my initial concerns almost seven weeks ago, and as far as I know, this issue has irritated a great many users for over a year!
Almost two months later... What is the problem here?!?
OK, thanks.
Hmmm... so, no change then? I can see how this has frustrated many of the old-timers here, if it's been requested several times in the past, and seemingly ignored.
Wow... Superb bunch of swift replies! milksama, thanks for the info about re-voting. I'll do just that. This has been mentioned numerous times since the first week of new site. Just shows how much reading of previous posts I (don't) do. Another issue here is the drop-down not remaining in place long enough to give *sa
Hi, I don't know if this is the first time such a request has been made, but in the skin-downloads pages, I've found the download button and skin-ratings box to be in such close proximity that I have on occasion inadvertently clicked a rating, rather than the download button. This is partly due to me being a bit hasty with the mouse, but also the fact that the ratings-box is a mouse-over item. As such, and to illustrate, I went to download Essorant's recently updated "Nuage Redux" 'blind, but by
The "ridiculous" part was more to do with the three weeks it took for someone to reply or offer a suggestion... but since you did, thank you. I'll drop SD an e-mail and see how it goes. TBH, the only reason I hadn't already done so was I'd assumed that ObjectDock was created by a third-party, not necessarily connected with SD.
HELLLLOOOOO!!!??? This is ridiculous. Can't anyone confirm or deny that it might even be possible to do?
Helloooo??? Anyone?
Does anyone know if there's a way to get rid of it?
Thanks Alex, that worked... although I didn't have to CC it, I just un/reinstalled from archive. I should probably have tried that anyway, must be Sunday laziness.
