I like leaving my dock as uncluttered as possible, and this helps. >From a VersionTracker reader, belzebob Dec 19th, 2001 (5 of 5 stars) piDock shines in many ways. Perhaps the most alluring touch is the scrolling mechanism used in long hierarchical lists--it's quite ingenious. Say you're navigating through a folder that contains more items than will fit on your screen. The Finder simply adds up & down arrows at the top and bottom of the list. When you reach the bottom you have to move the mouse all the way to the top before you can begin to scroll up. piDock is much more intelligent, pushing the list down as you move the cursor up from the very bottom. Very effective and very smart. piDock is a utility for navigating files and folders in a natural and efficient way for Mac OS. piDock is made with REALbasic. piDog Software is a small company dedicated to bringing quality applications to the Macintosh platform, with an emphasis on Mac OSX utilities. piDog Software came into existence in late 2000 and continues to develop primarily for the Macintosh platform. __________________________ Please visit our sponsors: RadGad(sm): The Place for Useful Gifts & Gadgets.(sm) http://www.radgad.com/, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], or 877-5-RADGAD MacTech(r) Magazine: The journal of Macintosh technology and development http://www.mactech.com, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], or 805-494-9797 DevDepot(sm): Your Source for RAM, Technical & Developer Products http://www.devdepot.com, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or call 877-DEPOT-NOW To submit a posting to NetProLive, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED].
