BLOCKSOFT  Great little utility. I discovered it whilst waiting for Dockstar (free equivalent) to support 10.5. It has worked flawlessly for four months since I installed, and whilst I have no interest in the screensaver option, I can see it would be of use to some users.  
(Version 2.1)

BLOCKSOFT  Note - if you downloaded v1.6 immediately after release, please re-download, as the file did not initially upload to the server correctly. Apologies.  
(Version 1.6)

BLOCKSOFT  Thanks for the feedback. I haven't yet found a suitable way to alter the 2D background, but I'll look at adding some less obtrusive separators shortly.  
(Version 1.4.3)

BLOCKSOFT  Download it and try it out. Docker is a very different tool from Tinkertool. The latter gives control over aspects of various system areas, whilst Docker concentrates on the Dock, and gives far more options and customisation. A comparison between the two isn't really fair.  
(Version 1.4.2)

BLOCKSOFT  Thanks for the feedback. I hadn't realised OSX allowed this - I'll sort it right away.  
(Version 1.4.1)

BLOCKSOFT  The reason you can reset some settings when cancelling the password entry is because some settings do not require admin permissions to be reset.

The interface is a matter of personal taste I suppose but please feel free to backup why you dislike it so much so I can consider this.

The password handling dialog is to minimize the number of times the password is required. There is nothing sinister - your password is not stored anywhere on your hard drive.

Thanks for your feedback. Graeme, Blocksoft  
(Version 1.4.1)

BLOCKSOFT  Thanks for the feedback. Is the problem persisting? Can you please send me a screenshot of the Docker window when this problem occurs? Thanks

Graeme, BlockSoft (contact@blocksoft.net)  
(Version 1.1)

BLOCKSOFT  This sounds like a quirk caused by using dual screens. Can you please contact me and we can try to sort something out? Thanks  
(Version 1.1)

BLOCKSOFT  When used correctly iConiCal is no problem at all. It requires to be run daily to keep the icon up to date. If this its one at startup or at a certain time each morning it is a very unobtrusive application.

Similarly restoring the default is as simple as pressing one button in the Settings window. Any problem please email me directly.  
(Version 1.6)

BLOCKSOFT  I have looked into this issue and decided to stick with the .dmg file. Some people have had disk images generally on late versions of 10.4. There is a discussion here which suggests that it was the result of installing an OS X update using Software Update rather than the Combo installer:

There is another here which claims to have isolated the problem - that it was due to a leftover from an old version of Virtual PC which is incompatible with Intel Macs:

If you are still struggling, a .zip file is hidden on my server at http://www.blocksoft.net/docker/Docker.zip  
(Version 1.1)

BLOCKSOFT  That's true Neil - iConiCal is primarily aimed at users prior to 10.45 and 10.5 users can still use it to change the color of the iCal icon.  
(Version 1.6)

BLOCKSOFT  Rick, to bring up the settings, press and hold the Apple key just after launching iConiCal. You need to get in pretty quickly so you are holding the Apple just as the application starts bouncing in the dock.

I admit it is a little fiddly, but this avoids the problems which would be cause if you were holding the Apple key whilst opening iConiCal.

If you are still struggling, deleting the iConiCal Preferences file will force the settings to show the next time you launch iConiCal.

None of this is an issue in 10.5. As OSX 10.5 now updates the icon regardless, I have modified iConiCal accordingly, as you no longer need to run it daily. As such, the settings window always appears in 10.5  
(Version 1.5)

BLOCKSOFT  I'm a big fan of this little utility - really looking forward to a Leopard compatible version  
(Version 0.2)

BLOCKSOFT  It sounds like iConiCal isn't loading as your system doesn't know where it is. Have you moved iConiCal since the initial setup?

Having moved it, uncheck and recheck the 'Open at Login' and 'Launch at Midnight' options to reset these to iConiCal's current location.

To uninstall iConiCal, you simply need to drag it to the trash.

To change iCal's icon to the default, you first need to open the iConiCal settings, accessible by pressing the Apple key as iConiCal loads, and press the reset button contained therein.  
(Version 1.4)

BLOCKSOFT  Great little app. Does just what it should with the minimum of fuss - ideal for leaving in the dock and dragging HTML files onto when you have finished editing.

It would be great if XML and CSS files could be checked through the same application too.  
(Version 0.3)

BLOCKSOFT  Thanks very much for your new review.

The two areas you mentioned are the ones I intend to look into for the next version, but no guarantees!  
(Version 1.3)

BLOCKSOFT  Thanks for the suggestion and the comments - I'll certainly bear them in mind for the next update.  
(Version 1.2)

BLOCKSOFT  iConiCal can actually be located anywhere on your system. iCal needs to be in the Applications folder currently, but I'm looking for a way around that in the next update.  
(Version 1.2)

BLOCKSOFT  Great, thanks, glad it works now. I was intending to add this feature to v1.3 anyway.  
(Version 1.2)

BLOCKSOFT  I have installed a tried QuickSilver on 10.4.10, and it launches iConiCal correctly without quitting. Can you email to see if we can sort something out?

Sounds like the bug may be in your QuickSilver preferences or something similar. Drop me an email so hopefully this can get ironed out for you.  
(Version 1.2)

BLOCKSOFT  Thanks for the feedback - I'll look into the quicksilver issue, although I'm not sure yet if the bug is on my side or their's.

Any other thoughts, please email me, as I don't always check on this site for feedback.  
(Version 1.2)

BLOCKSOFT  Thanks for the feedback - I'll look into these issues when working on v1.3, and see what I can do.  
(Version 1.2)

BLOCKSOFT  Hmm, strange, works fine on my lowly 10.4.10 G4 Mini. Is iCal in the usual Applications folder location?

Also, have you tried reinstalling? Please email me with further details so we can get to the bottom of this.  
(Version 1.2)

BLOCKSOFT  Update - I believe I have found and corrected the problem, which occurs if you use other iCal related utilities. If you email me Johnny, I'll sort you out with a version to use until I release the next formal update next week.  
(Version 1.1)

BLOCKSOFT  Johnny I think this may be caused by you running another program. Can you email at contact @ blocksoft.net (without the spaces) so I can sort this for an update next week?

Thanks  
(Version 1.1)

BLOCKSOFT  Johnny, check your settings (hold down the Alt key while iConiCal launches to bring up the settings) and check that the 'Leave iCal open checkbox is not checked'.

Also, you say that you have had this problem for a few days - let me know if it still exists in v1.1

Finally, if iCal was open before you opened iConiCal, then it will not automatically be closed for obvious reasons.

If you are still having problems, please let me know by email.  
(Version 1.1)

BLOCKSOFT  LOOPNINE, thanks for your comments. Unfortunately, the way iCal saves its icons, it is necessary to open iCal to change the dock icon. I am however looking into ways of making this more reliable and less obtrusive for future versions.

Regarding your second point on iCal staying open - what should happen is that iCal opens, and if you have not checked that box, it will quit. If this is not happening 100% of the time, I'll tweak the code a little to fix that. Thanks for the feedback.  
(Version 1.0)

BLOCKSOFT  Looks like just the ticket for all of those bank account details, ridiculous ISP usernames, ftp passwords etc that I have lying around everywhere. Looks like a very 'Apple' interface too, good work.  
(Version 3.1.1)

BLOCKSOFT  Thanks for your feedback. I had not noticed this issue as the majority of diacritic characters are saved correctly by MemoBlock. Have you found any other problematic characters?

Thanks

BlockSoft  
(Version 4.8)

BLOCKSOFT  In response to the comment below regarding diacritic characters, MemoBlock does handle the majority of diacritic characters correctly, and most users will have no problems using umlauts, circumflexes, accents and so on. There does appear to be a problem with some characters, including the caron (?), which I shall look into. For languages which do not use that particular diacritic however, there is no problem, and 99% of users can use MemoBlock without issue.  
(Version 4.8)

BLOCKSOFT  Really handy piece of software. Only loses one point as it can sometimes be a little tricky to add new search sites.  
(Version 1.1b1)

BLOCKSOFT  Does what it says on the tin. Handy little app. Top marks.  
(Version 2.0b1)

BLOCKSOFT  I needed a basic text editor for editing my website files etc. I can work offline, or combine it with Cyberduck to modify files directly from the website.

The main feature for me was 'tabbed' files within one window - I much prefer working this way, as it keeps my desktop for less cluttered and lets me work on multiple files simultaneously. Great work, keep it up!  
(Version 3.1)

BLOCKSOFT  Great little tool - really handy for people like me who have never rated thier iTunes tracks as it would take far too long to rate the entire library.  
(Version 1.3)

BLOCKSOFT  Thanks for your comments. I am looking at adding options for sorting notes, although this will require a lot of behind the scenes work to implement. I hope to have this done for an update by the end of May however.  
(Version 4.7)

BLOCKSOFT  Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately I didn't have time to add this function in v2.0, but I will add it in v2.0.1, and hopefully release that update in a few weeks.  
(Version 2.0)

BLOCKSOFT  Thanks for your comments. It is my intention to make the cards at least twice the size, and better quality in v2.0 of the application, which will be released in a few months.

I shall also look into allowing play by pressing letters without the Apple key. Bear in mind that a lot of the functions can be accessed using the return key.  
(Version 1.7)
