New features

[danielb]

Hey!
I just integrated some nice new features:

The launcher Groups are defined in the .desktop file of the launcher, when u want that a launcher is in a specific group, u have to edid the file by hand for now. There is One Launcher for every group, u can switch between group members with the mousewheel (maybe i will integrate a menu entry for that too)

The Taskbar Groups
The taskbar now groups all apps from the same class, u can switch between the class members with the mousewheel too. There is a submenus for every classmember in the rightclick menu. propably i will integrate a way to minimize/restore all windows from the class, maybe with middle mouse button.

Desktop Mindow
the taskbar now can show a mindow of the desktop, u can toggle show desktop when clicking the icon. also i will integrate a feature that u can switch workspace/viewport when scrolling over the miniature.

When u open a app, and the miniature is shown in the taskbar plugin, and u have a launcher for that app in the dock, the launcher just disappeares.

awsome !!

though in svn, i don't get the taskbar groups... (not sure about launcher groups, i don't use launchers ...)

though i do get the desktop

try it a multi window app, for example gimp. All windows of that app should be in the same group.

hmm, it doesn't seem to want to work for me.....

they just overlap each other (scrolling doesn't seem to do anything) and if i add more windows then they get knocked out of place and don't group again....

and it's quite buggy still... (same problems mentioned over here http://www.kiba-dock.org/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=30&topic=87.15)

and everything is all over the place

for me its working without any problem.

your clock and the error messages could be related to the config file, can u try to delete ~/.kiba-dock/config once?

[delfick]

well deleting the config file worked

i'm surprised i didn't do that already ...

though it still screws up when i bring it to the bottom, i can't disable plugins, and when i click on any of them, the ones around the one i click fly off so far it takes about 4 secs to get back on the screen and they end up being bunched together.......

....

o ye, when i use the scroll to go between windows it doesn't do anything...

though if i middle click on one, it minimises the one i middle click and all the icons move to the top left of the screen and don't go back....

yeah since some time the physics engine makes some problems, the engine bugs are really hard to fix
