iLife Dock is one application in a series of applications I am making to reduce Dock clutter and use very small applications to take the place of many others. These applications are normally around a 100 kb, and use 0 CPU when they are open and idle. To use them you can right click on the icon in the dock and you will see a custom dock menu listing a series of applications you can launch from there.

Making these applications from the feedback I get takes time, I do this as a hobby. If you enjoy using the software, and would like to see them kept up to date and more, and you would like to donate a few dollars to keep them coming please contact me via email.

This one is specifically for Apple's iLife Application Suite. If you want to see some more of these type please email me and give me an idea of some of the applications you would like to see supported.

Version 1.3: Added iPhoto Buddy to the menu from a request, also fixed a bug in the "website" option on the menu, now works more efficently.

Version 1.2: Added website to menu, please check it out, it has information about custom docks, also added itunes to the menubar.

Version 1.1: Gave it and icon, and updated the Dock menu.

Q: What is the next "Dock" application do you want?

GLOBETROTTERDK The download links don't work for iWork or iLife dock apps. I have tried with both Safari and Firefox. I have also tried control clicking to download the linked file, but only get an HTML file.

MACUPDATE ADMIN The problem is completely at your end, I access MacUpdate just as any other user would (my location is on the Pacific coast of Mexico) and these download links you mention work just fine. I just checked them both.

GLOBETROTTERDK Weird. All of the other links I come across on MacUpdate also work fine. These are the only two that don't seem to work.

MACUPDATE ADMIN All I can think of for you to do is to flush your browser(s) cache(s), and flush the lookupd cache as well.

SAMM I just tested it as well, both work fine, I will have to agree that it is your end.

GLOBETROTTERDK I have flushed all of the various browser cache's (Safari, Firefox, Camino, OmniWeb, Opera, etc.), but no luck. How do I flush the lookupd cache?

In sum: Launch Terminal and type

lookupd -flushcache

GLOBETROTTERDK I just used DeepVacuum, which is a MacUpdate promo that I purchased a couple of days ago, to try and download the file. Here are the results that wget passes on:

FROMAGE-HEAD why not just make a folder with aliases ? I find the result even better. Maybe I missed something.

SAMM if you do it with a folder, it require to you click once, wait for the window to appear, then click on the alias, then close the window. With this app, you can click, hold then go to the wanted application in the list, then let go of the mouse, and that application will open, it is a timesaver and reduces dock clutter.

CJC1959AU And with a created folder, it can only go into the right of the dock, not the left where all the applications are!

BABYFETT Though with the aliases you also get icons. Icons would be an nice addition to this little app.
