There is a small DragThing 5.9.8 update here. This works round a specific problem with 10.7.2, which could cause errors when trying to load or save docks. I would recommend it for anybody who is running Lion.]]> Fri, 21 Oct 2011 14:23:38 GMT http://www.dragthing.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=7654#Post7654 Posted by MikeG:
[quote=James Thomson] DragThing is not dead. Long live DragThing![/quote] Good to hear. DragThing rocks! Definitely one of the "essentials", and I think it will be for a very long time. I hope the market is at least worth it enough so you are able to keep it operational with new MacOS releases, even if it doesn't get lots of new features.]]> Wed, 19 Oct 2011 01:30:53 GMT http://www.dragthing.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=7549#Post7549 Posted by nandorman:

If you are seeing DragThing crash at launch on Lion, it's probably because you installed the latest AirFoil 4.5.6 update which breaks DragThing and a number of other apps - full details are here. The folks at Rogue Amoeba are working on a fix. In other news, I am now currently working on a DragThing 5.9.7 update to address some smaller issues people are seeing on Lion. If you've seen any problems, let me know and I'll do my best to get them fixed. Hopefully it will be released before the end of the month!]]> Sun, 21 Aug 2011 10:55:29 GMT http://www.dragthing.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=6845#Post6845 Posted by Budgie:

DragThing 6, when that appears, is quite likely to be a paid update from DragThing 5 (it has been six years since I charged for one!) but it's not something that's going to come out tomorrow.]]> Tue, 22 Dec 2009 09:58:18 GMT http://www.dragthing.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=6407#Post6407 Posted by James Thomson:
DragThing 5.9.5 is now available on the download page. This is purely a bug fix release to fix a couple of rare problems on Snow Leopard. Enjoy!]]> Thu, 05 Nov 2009 16:36:46 GMT http://www.dragthing.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=6099#Post6099 Posted by James Thomson:
The bundle deal has now finished, I hope you enjoyed it! Currently, I'm looking at DragThing on Snow Leopard. I expect I'll have a small update ready if there are any problems found, but it's looking good at the moment. Follow me on Twitter at @jamesthomson for more frequent updates!]]> Mon, 22 Jun 2009 13:03:44 GMT http://www.dragthing.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=5013#Post5013 Posted by James Thomson:

Another quick update. I believe I have found a good workaround for the 10.5.3 bug above - a new build has just been sent out for testing, and all being well, it will be released tomorrow afternoon. In the meantime, keep the Desktop Trash switched off and everything should be fine.]]> Tue, 03 Jun 2008 10:30:50 GMT http://www.dragthing.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=4611#Post4611 Posted by pheloxi:

That's odd - it seems fine here, and this hasn't been reported before. Are the folders and files in the same dock? Are you using the "dock items are buttons" or the "use single click" option? Are you using Path Finder?]]> Fri, 02 Nov 2007 19:04:25 GMT http://www.dragthing.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=4218#Post4218 Posted by James Thomson:
Stacks is a possibility, but I'd need to reimplement everything myself, I can't use the same stuff the Apple Dock does, 3D dock request is noted. I'm a little wary of including one by default quite as early as this in case it annoys Apple, but we'll see!]]> Thu, 01 Nov 2007 17:37:15 GMT http://www.dragthing.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=3984#Post3984 Posted by James Thomson:
Just a quick status update. I'm currently working away on a free update for DragThing that will be released alongside Leopard in the coming months. At the moment, I'm mainly ensuring compatibility and adding some Leopard-specific new features. Of course, since Apple hasn't yet announced exactly when they are going to release Leopard, I can't tell you either! But, as usual, DragThing will be ready on day one whenever it is. Also, the 1st of August marked the official ten year anniversary of DragThing being sold as shareware. So, thank you to all the people over the years who have help to ensure DragThing has a future. To tell the truth, the actual anniversary of our first sale was back in July, but I used to fiddle the release dates a little back then! And if you've been using DragThing since then without paying... Well, after a decade-long trial, don't you think it's [url=http://order.kagi.com/?6B]about time you did[/url]? More later!]]> Fri, 03 Aug 2007 13:05:26 GMT http://www.dragthing.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=3812#Post3812 Posted by James Thomson:
DragThing 5.8.1 has been [url=http://www.dragthing.com/english/download.html]released[/url]. [img]http://www.dragthing.com/images/DashThing.png[/img] This is just a small update to fix a couple of annoying bugs in 5.8, but there's also a cool new dock theme by [url=http://evula.org/madfax7/]Martin Harding[/url] called "Dashboard", as well as a new option to lock docks firmly in position. The full list of changes is [url=http://www.dragthing.com/english/history.html]here[/url].

thanks james! the simple addition of "maximize only at screen edge" is going to help calm down my tremendously jumpy dock drawers (or help compensate for my incredibly sloppy mousing).]]> Wed, 16 May 2007 13:58:12 GMT http://www.dragthing.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=3695#Post3695 Posted by jesse gillespie:

There's a quick 5.7.1 update out now - get it [url=http://s3.amazonaws.com/tlasystems/DragThing-5.7.1.dmg]here[/url] . It's mainly to fix a very rare, but very annoying, crash in 5.7 that can happen if you save a dock that contains an application with incorrectly formatted version information. It's worth updating to anyway.]]> Mon, 18 Dec 2006 15:20:00 GMT http://www.dragthing.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=194#Post194 Posted by jesse gillespie:

James, This DT THEMES version-soon-to-be looks super! I use DT for 90% of my selections-- especially for specific folders that I create- I go right to the tab, like "Media" or "$can" (my financial and Scanning layer) - plus the Process Dock upper right along with X-Assist lets me change to any of up to 30 programs I have running simultaneously, and hide all the others (or with X-Assist, keep 2 visible...)-- I still keep the Dock active and use it 10% of the time or so-- I have a double-layer dock, corner activated-- but replacing the finder with DT?-- in a sense, yes-- that's what it does! Really looking forward to the next update-- and glad to hear that you are healthy once again!!

I've started a new promotion on our [url=http://order.kagi.com/?6B]Kagi order page[/url] . From today, if you buy DragThing and PCalc together, you can get them both for $34, saving $14 on the previous total price. Look for the "DragThing 5 & PCalc 3 bundle" special offer at the top of the order page. You can look at it as getting PCalc for a mere $5 when you buy DragThing, or getting DragThing for nearly half-price when you buy PCalc. Your choice!]]> Wed, 13 Sep 2006 15:20:00 GMT http://www.dragthing.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=72#Post72 Posted by pheloxi:
