DESCRIPTION
DragThing... The original dock designed to tidy up your Macintosh desktop. It puts all your documents, folders, and applications just a single click away. Highly flexible, it allows multiple docks, each customised to suit your exact needs.
WHAT'S NEW
Version 5.9.3:
  • In order to work round a serious bug in 10.5.3, the Desktop Trash will no longer appear in all Spaces by default. If you use Spaces and want the Desktop Trash appearing in all of them, set DragThing to appear in all Spaces in the "Exposé & Spaces" section of System Preferences.
  • Worked round many problems with Spaces on 10.5.3.
  • Fixed a problem with dock windows not coming to the front on 10.5.3.
  • Fixed a problem with the Process Dock not sorting correctly by launch time on 10.5.3.
  • Fixed a problem with aliases not being followed when adding items to docks.
  • Fixed a number of problems on Leopard.
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later.

CORPSECORPS  Woops.

Dumb mistake. The desktop trash is simply appearing in only one of Leopard's "Spaces", and i don't know how to get it to appear in all!

There's a checkbox to "Ignore Expose", but it's greyed out.  (Version 5.9.3)

CORPSECORPS  Since upgrading to 5.9.3, my desktop trashcan keeps disappearing.

If i bring up Dragthing prefs, deactivate, and then reactivate the trash, it reappears for a short time.

KERRALA  Dragthing is one of those apps you either love or hate because it dictates the way you interact with your Mac.

I am glad I spent the time setting it up how I like because now I can't live without it.

The developer is fantastically responsive too!  (Version 5.9.2)

CORPSECORPS  I'm another of those folks who used this heavily way back. I registered version 2, upgraded to 4, and then 5 but haven't used since a couple OS's ago.

I've used various launchers, finder substitutes, hot-key gizmos, and the like. I'm a digital pack-rat and organizational disaster area.

Apple's new Leopard features like their pathetic "stacks" weren't going to do much for me.

With 21.13 GB and 36,469 items just in my desktop folder, i decided it was time to give Dragthing another try in order to bring some order to the chaos.

When i opened it up, Dragthing looked very familiar, yet so much more capable even than before. I'm very happy to find out my old registrations still function!

As people have said in much earlier reviews, though it takes some significant time and effort to set it up when first run, the capabilities and variety of ways it can be used and configured to suit any particular user are flat out STAGGERING!

If you can't make it suit you as an organizer/launcher, you looked examined it closely enough.

The only reasons i can't say it's solved my problem is the magnitude of the problem. It really is the Rolls Royce of organizational tools.   (Version 5.9.1)
