Interferes with BetterTouchTool 0.75 (no more trackpad gestures, in my case)

Really sad, because both are great utils.

This maybe a be stupid question but is the features this software do just add to my dock or does it change to an hyper dock since I have some nice hacks for my dock I do not want to lose?

I'm not sure what hacks you have, but mine is transparent, 2D, and anchored to the top right side of my screen. With yellow indicator lights for active applications. If that's the kind of hacking you're talking about, then no, HyperDock won't mess with that. I use HyperDock with all of that and it works just great.

Doesn't appear to work with some Adobe CS5 apps. Do you have an uninstaller for HyperDock?

I have a hyperdock question, maybe someone can help. There used to be an option to select the number of days for iCal to "pop up".

I can't find it anymore. Did it get removed from the latest version?

I did send this question to the developer but after a month I have received no reply.

Thank you

Hi Majestik,

Sorry for my late response (Haven't been on MacUpdate for some time).

The setting is hidden in Lion in the current stable release. To fix this, upgrade to the developer releases (Preferences -> Advanced -> Upgrade to unstable versions).

I'll release a fixed stable version soon.

Best,
Christian

There are a number of apps that handle window moving/resizing. I used to use Zooom but, at least in my experience, it is dangerously unstable in Lion. I tried a few others, which did not work properly with my Kensington Expert Mouse. This one works just fine.

Not sure this app is fully compatible with Lion.

With the release of Lion, the ability to show and hide specific calendars in the dock preview cannot be changed from the System Preferences. All calendars are displayed by default and I cannot choose which calendars to show.

Emailed the Dev a few days ago and did not get a response back yet. Resetting to defaults in the application itself does not resolve the issue either.

Think I may just disable it in the mean time until this issue is fixed, right now its just wasting resources.

Yep... best as I can tell... the developer has given up support for this program. I emailed him back in August asking a question about calendars displaying correctly in Lion and still have never gotten a reply back. It's a shame, this was a decent program.

Hi Bushwhack,

Note sure why I didn't get your mails.

To fix this, upgrade to the developer releases (Preferences -> Advanced -> Upgrade to unstable versions). I'll release a fixed stable version soon.

If that doesn't fix it for you, drop me another mail (prefix the subject with NOSPAM to make sure my spam filter isn't eating it).

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Best,

Christian,

Thank you!! I don't know when you updated the program to be compatible with Lion so the windows work again (specifically for BusyCal) but it was greatly appreciated.

Program looks like a charm again!!

Apparently when it stopped working I went in and completely disabled the program which also stops it from checking for future updates as well. (I was using it for window snapping and window previews and disabled completely to save system resources).

Once I turned it off, I unfortunately never really checked it again and kinda learned to live without it. I went to redownload it a few minutes ago and remembered it was still in my system preferences!!

Are there any plans to add tab previews beyond Safari, say for Chrome or Firefox?? (I specifically use Chrome now because Safari was a memory hog using over 1GB after being idle for a few hours and Firefox was just as bad)

Or maybe a feature that allows you to see the most recent unread emails in Mail.app kinda like the iCal/BusyCal preview option??

Just some thoughts...

Is it just me or is my ability to choose what calendars to display from the dock from the preferences panel missing in Lion?

I have all these calendars I have hidden in BusyCal/iCal that I also want hidden from my dock, and now they all just appear!! I used to be able to turn them off.

Check for updates within the pref pane never works....always says "An error occurred in retrieving update information. Please try again later." This has been true for as far back as I can remember.

I am having issues with your program, which I supported early on and now I am running into issues recently.
I recently switched my calendars from my Mac to MobileMe. Hyperdock basically does not show the events on the dock nor in the settings in System Preferences. At some points the events are randomly shifted around or do no even show up in the preview at all. This makes the program unreliable and is one of the major reasons I bought the program to begin with. I use BusyCal mainly but iCal also shows the same issue. Is there a way to make these calendars discovered again? Currently only calendars I am subscribed to are showing in the settings but even now they do not show in the pop-up either.

Any help you could provide would be appreciated.

Emailed the Developer the above problem and in less that 12 hours had a reply. Excellent response time!

I think though I figured out what the problem was. My troubleshooting steps were below.

Alright, apparently I am going to say that it wasn't even a HyperDock bug at all. From what I've been able to tell, iCal and BusySync both read from the same database obviously. BusySync though is apparently dependent on iCal when in relation to the HyperDock calendars showing in the System Preferences.

When the calendars disappeared, I went into BusyCal and under Help chose Reset. In there I hit the Overwrite Sync Services, incase sync services had some syncing conflicts or something. This is what had initially reset the calendars to begin with. Upon opening BusyCal and the calendars reloading, HyperDock cleared all the calendars from the preview window. However in the System Preferences my calendar subscriptions were still visible even though they were not showing up. When I randomly decided to open iCal today it for some reason reloaded the calendars and fixed the issue.

HyperDock had had the issue properly identifying the calendars before when I first migrated them from On My Mac to MobileMe due to a sync issue as well which was resolved by exporting all my calendars, deleting them all from iCal and then manually reimporting them all over again.

From what I've been able to see, it's either a BusyCal/iCal issue (I only use BusyCal anymore) and/or a Sync Services issue that then does not allow not allow HyperDock to access the calendar database as a result. This probably doesn't really make any sense, because it doesn't make any sense to me either but as it stands the issues is resolved somehow through my troubleshooting so I won't complain.

Very impressed with this application, however, I cannot get a "sneak peak" at my iCal events as is suggested on the HyperDock website, nor can I see the iTunes controls as are portrayed there also.

Seems there's now a small conflict with several text TV widgets in the dashboard.
Whenever I tap a number to browse to a page the the dashboard crashes.
Turning hyperdock off solves the probelm so i'm sure this is causing it.
Beta version didn't gave any problems, it started with version 1.0.
Seems to have something to do with the option "hide when a dock item is clicked" under the tap "behaviour" in preferences because when I deactivate this option the problems disappear.
Hope developer fixes this bug.
