"Of The Bay" Version 2.00

[Patrice Terrier]

I think with version 1.56 we are close to full completion.

The new ZIP file (attached to the first post of this thread) is provided with both "OfTheBay.exe" and "DoOTB.exe" source code.

DoOTB allows you to create a "Default.OTB" file that you can customize with any ASCII text editor and save under the name of "OfTheBay.OTB".

If ever you download this new version, i would be glad to know if you have been able to setup your own OTB file, if not ask me there what to do.

Thank you!

Under request of Martin Francom, the "shorcut target path" is now shown on the dock, when you hold down the right mouse button, while hover a DockBar icon.

The lattest ZIP file with source code is attached to the first post of this thread.

The public version without source code and without "nag screen" is there.

OfTheBay has been enhanced with a new menu option to create/update the "OfTheBay.OTB" file,
that would let you customize the shorcuts with your own set of icons, or hide existing shorcut(s), and/or add new OTB shortcut(s).


Example of "OfTheBay.OTB" file:

You are advised that because the current version of "Of The Bay" is being written in 32-bit, it can't be used with VISTA 64-bit.

...

[Patrice Terrier]

I am looking for volunteer(s) using a Windows 64-bit and wanting to check a dedicated version of OfTheBay ?

...

[Patrice Terrier]

I have a new version of "Of The Bay" running on both 32 and 64-bit OS.

This version allows you to define the icon order, from the OTB file.

If interrested, then let me know.

Lattest version 2.00 has been attached to the first post of this thread, to fix the ZIP file corruption caused by the "Server Collapse".
