If however, you have a 2nd user log in on the same computer it does not function at all.
I would have appreciated if that limitation was mentioned before I bought it.

It works fine when the discrete graphics card is enabled but does NOT work when the integrated card is used. I run an MBP 15" 2011 early with latest Lion.
Is there a fix coming for that?
If not, I would have appreciated if that limitation was mentioned before buying.

I often have multiple windows per application open across 6 spaces, and while I still love Apple's Exposé, I find that with DocView, I use it a lot less -- Especially since Exposé is limited to the current space, though I guess that will change with "Mission Control" in Lion.
Regardless of what what may come with Lion, I still think this is a good buy. I only wish I had discovered it earlier.

I want the following:
when I hover or clickthe mouse over the Finder in the Dock I want to see the same folders I have listed in the "Places" of a Finder window.
Any plans to add this?

It's says this over and over again until I stop hovering over the window and the preview image is gone from my current space.
Snapz also seems to interfere with DockView in other ways but I'm still investigating that.

And then hundreds of these error will fill the the console:

Well NO I`m NOT, so be kind telling me where to fill in the reg ???
That's a deal breaker for me, didn't buy it, though it sure looks promising.

First with Finder I cannot get DockView to preview Finder's windows with TotalFinder installed. I know an update was released, but I still can't get the windows to show. If I am copying a file, the copy dialog is the only thing that previews in the dock with TotalFinder.
Also Adium does not show in the preview for DockView either. No contact list, no chat windows, nothing. HyperDock also shows these windows so I wasn't sure if it was a DockView bug or not.
HyperDock handles both of these applications really well and I was just wondering if I was the only person to have this issue and if there were plans to fix this in the future or not.
I like DockView but these two bugs are show stoppers for me right now but I really want to buy this app and can't until it works right.

Finder filters did not work either. I noticed that Finder filters did have a "TotalFinder" setting in them, but selecting that only gave me a Finder window with nothing inside it. Basically a gray square. That doesn't do me any good either.

That being said, Thank you for the quick response!!
I can shoot you an email and hopefully we can go further from there and get this figured out!

There is no dock icon nor a menu for the application.

"You won't be able to easily access the Preferences and About window with the menu icon hidden. If you want to reach either of them, run DockView from within Finder."
Which is obviously very easy, if maybe a bit counterintuitive.

You might have gotten the same message through your support page. I never got an answer on that one so I'm trying here.
Thank you for an otherwise great application.

Tried also version 1.05. Same result !
Any suggestions ?? Is it maybe the use of magic mouse that gives trouble ????
The iTunes window shows regardless so that you can use the Play, Pause and skip buttons.
