Koji, this is your best application and also the best dock-launcher at the moment.
It's light in resources yet appealing and stable.
Is my launcher right now, after testing loads of them.
Features I would like to add:
*A page of pages, like a home page containing links to the other pages so you can go directly without having to go through lots of pages to find what you need.
*System icons look bad, so it will be nice to assign generic icons to drives, that way any time you insert an flash drive, an external USB or CD-rom drive, a "stylish" icon appears automatically.
*To be able to call MF with the keyboard but to be responsive with the mouse (hover effect) and with no letters.
*Better integration with WinFlip. In WF you can assign which side of the desktop you have to click to call it, but in MF you cannot, so one disables the other.
*An option to show/hide empty pages. Easier to fill them.
*An easier way to arrange pages
*Improve the "disable mouse gestures on pressing the mouse button". As apfel I use strokeit and apparently right button doesn't disables it. Also "sensitivity" settings don't seems to have noticeable effect.
*Configurable radium for circular formation, sometimes icons look too tightened.
*The same way to move Icons from one page to another in circular formation but with manual and straight ones.
*This came up to me just now: The possibility to have coaxial rings.
*A page title overlay over, in the middle or below the formation.
*A semi transparent background for thee whole formation to improve visibility.
*Show drives information like free space in Gb or % and maybe a graphical indicator
*A special Icon for the recicle bin, empty and full.
Last but certainly not least:
*A user guide or FAQ
I second this ones:
- Show small extra Icon under ApplicationIcon, indicates the Application is running
- MouseGesture Option for TaskList page
- setting for Animation size (magnification)
- separate page settings, like set first page with tooltips and second without
- more Icon click/Mouseover Animation options
- more formations like X-formation or half-circle
- Clicking/pressing on Icon (linked to Folder): opens Menu with a list of folder content.
Another nice featues:
- Ability to drag files on Icons (open/play file with program)
You certainly can do this.
Thanks koji for this wonderful application. IMHO, there are several taskswitcher and certainly your's among the best, but this little thing is quite unique (my way to convince you to keep developening it
) I cannot wait for the next release.
I saw some of screen shots at that thread. That made me happy.
I like to see the screen shots of MF. I'm collecting them
There you are (including one showing how bad system icons look (drive page)):
ClickStar2 & MagicFormation
