smartbutton docky from openamiga.org

Centaurz just released a first version of the smartbutton docky

http://os4depot.net/index.php?functio ... cky/smartbutton-docky.lha


Smartbutton.docky is an enhanced button docky for AmiDock.

Original features include :
- launching of programs in Workbench or CLI mode (useful for programs not
supporting Workbench arguments passing)
- displaying of a description field (with scrolling)
- "mouse-over" state
- common preferences shared by all the buttons in a dock
- build mode to allow fast edition of the button using drag'n'drop and clickable
texts

Smartsubdock.docky has the same features as smartbutton.docky except that it is
used to control a subdock.
- subdocks are placed automatically and follow their parent dock
- "trees" of subdocks behave like real menus

@orgin

You were fast, I was about to start a thread on this .

Edit: BTW, for those having hearing problems, smartbutton.docky is not the docky version of the fart button.

@centaurz

One of the stated features is a mouse-over state.

Is there a way to set an alternate image for this mouse-over state?

@PEB

this would be a nice idea, actually I use
MacLikeDocky to have small images that are displayed
big when the mouse is over.

@PEB

Yes this is planned for image files (not for icons). Actually, smartbutton.docky used to load automatically "selected" and "ghosted" states bitmaps using the AISS naming scheme ("myimage_s" and "myimage_g"), but ATM it's deactivated due to a rewrite of the image rendering.
So a "highlighted" state image could be added as well, using for example "myimage_h" as file name. The only requirement is to have such images available.

Edit: fixed weird wording

absolutely brillian!!
much much better than the original subdocky.

one suggestion: maje the text field optional if an icon/picture is displayed in the smartsubdock so that it looks like the other dock elements.

byebye...

@centaurz

Great work!

Sure, an image-only mode would be good.

50.3 out: http://os4depot.net/index.php?functio ... cky/smartbutton-docky.lha

@orgin

The new version works well. Now all we need are those highlight-state images from Mason.

@all

This new version features an improved "build mode", as well as a small GUI to configure global parameters (menu-related). For example it is now possible to orientate new subdocks perpendicular to their parent, to build "staircase-like" menus (to be honest, I don't know if it is useful ).

I just found a few 3-state images from Mason's past work that we can start to play with for now.

@centaurz

I just found a bug.

When the orientation of the dock is Vertical, then a bit of the Title still shows even if the Title is turned off.

Edit:
And one more bug:
The highlight-state is lost after a restart or after AmiDock has been iconified.

Edit 2:
Another thing that is lost after a restart or iconify is the "Run mode" (it always reverts back to "Workbench").

@all

Over 90 % of the images are allready done!
Hope I will find the time to finish them tomorrow.

@centaurz

Upsi, just forget to to say: Well done!!!

@PEB

Thanks for notifying this. I fixed the second bug.
Could you please send me a screenshot of the first one (amicentaurz at club dot fr) ? I can't reproduce it.

@centaurz

E-mail sent.

@PEB

Bug fixed.

@centaurz

Thanks for the new version 50.5; and thanks to Mason for all of the new images (and icons).

Has anyone had success importing Mason's subdock settings? When I try, I get an error message saying: "Unable to import subdock. File may be damaged."
