OILCONSUMER You should make this application able to open aswell such as offices "Microsoft Project Manager" this will make this application less cheap and in my view, OWNAGE. :) [I dont like how i have to right click to choose, i just want to CLICK and a menu pops up or something!] Anyway, GREAT idea!

SAMSOFTWARE If you click and hold on the icon, then hold then release on the item you want, that will also work.

It all seems to defeat the purpose of a lightweight launcher...

DVARLOT creating a slack with the alias of the application amkes the same and uses no resource at all. So even if I thank the developper for its efforts I don't see the use of such an application

SAMSOFTWARE But, on Tiger, there is no way for me to make a spring-action folder like you can in Leopard.

GREG RAVEN You can do a lot of this without any hassle by simply putting Project Gallery Launcher in your Dock. It's already on your disk at MS Office -> Office -> Project Gallery Launcher.

SAMSOFTWARE Using the project gallery is a waste of time, personally I have never used it, and I have never seen anyone else use it in their docks. if you launch project gallery then you get this other window that you have to deal with, whereas if you use this launcher it is contained to one menu from the dock icon.

STUTEMP1 Nice idea, and good that it doesn't eat CPU cycles, but why does it take 15Mb of RAM and 200Mb of virtual memory space just for a little menu app? (according to Activity monitor) For now I'll keep a folder of aliases in the right side of the dock.

SAMSOFTWARE Are you on an intel machine? If so it may be because it was compiled on a PPC machine. It is either that or it may just be your machine for whatever reason, also is it using 15MB while it is idle or while it is launching an application? If you could send me an email of a screenshot of Activity Monitor showing this it would be very helpful.

MANICHE First of all: THANKS! Little request: Wouldn't it be possible to add a feature which allows you to hide individual Office apps icons in the Dock when "Office Dock" is used ? That would definitely reduce clutter. In the future one could also imagine resizable app icons inside the Office Dock menu... ;-)

SAMSOFTWARE Hiding them from the dock would also eliminate them from the application switcher and the menubar, I have already looked into this for eliminating the dock applications from the menubar and application switcher but keeping them in the dock, so it seems to me that it is you will either have all the things, or none.

ALEXIUSCA I appreciate the author's efforts, but because this loads as a normal application (i.e. it shows up in the command-tab list) it is much less useful than a docked folder or other type of App launcher

SAMSOFTWARE There is no possible way to remove it from the application switcher without removing it from the dock as well. I have contacted Apple and a number of Cocoa developers about this and it cannot be helped.

ALEXIUSCA I realize this; you might want to look at what the app Quay does. I realize it resides on the right half of the dock, but it is a great solution nonetheless.

TOMDOHERTY Earlier problem still exists re MSN Messenger (i.e. Office Dock launches Messenger ...but does not opens the Personal Contacts dialogue box and automatically signs in as would normally happen when you launch it straight from the OS X Doc). All other Office apps work perfectly. Thanks for your continued improvements.

SAMSOFTWARE Could please send me an email containing exactly what happens because personally I don't use MSN messenger, preferring Adium myself, and don't have a working MSN account so I cannot test that exactly, from what I can test it opens MSN messenger and prompts me with an username and password window to login.

JOSDANS You can make a folder with the Office apps as aliases. It will do the same as this app, except it doesn't use any memory. You can paste an icon on the folder to make it look nicer.

CJC1959AU It won't do the same as this app, as a folder will only go into the right hand side of the dock, not the left as this app does!

TOMDOHERTY Works a treat with all my Microsoft Office 2004 apps ...except MSN Messenger 7.0.1. I get a 'Choose Application' dialogue box with the question "Where is MSN Messenger?" when I attempt to launch it. No matter how often I choose the app it still looks for it every time. I use a PowerBook G4 running OS X 10.4.11. Any suggestions! Otherwise a brilliant concept - well done.

SAMSOFTWARE hmmm, odd since I have it working fine on my machine, check the name of your MSN Messenger application. it should read "MSN Messenger" exactly or it will not be picked up. I will look into it.

TOMDOHERTY Ok. Changed the app's default name from 'Microsoft Messenger' to 'MSN Messenger'. Office Dock now launches Messenger ...but that's it!! Messenger no longer opens the Personal Contacts dialogue box and automatically signs in like it does when I launch it straight from the OS X Doc.

SAMSOFTWARE Yes, I am looking into why it does that, I have found a few other applications that do similar things when launched in this method. Warcraft III in-particular has trouble launching when it is opened via a dock menu.

ONEBLESSEDGUY thanks for this program! I like it in that it gets rid of three apps out of my dock. I would like to have an even simpler one that let's you pick which apps that you have in it and then have it only show the icon, not the name. Further, don't give me any other options in the menu, just show me the icons to click on. I don't use Entourage, or Messenger. I really wish I could just put a Stack with alias in it on the left side and then put the "Office" icon for the folder. That way it would fan up and let me pick the app and then close. Also, It would be cool if it did not show the icon of Word (for example) when Word was open. But these are all preferences I guess.

ROSENKRIEGER Why not simply use stacks??? WIth the different kinds of display modes for stacks, even list view, all you have to do is create a folder, put the aliases in there and drag that folder to the dock - done. No app needed.
