Product Description:

The original dock designed to tidy up your Macintosh desktop. It puts all your documents, folders, and applications just a single click away. Highly flexible, it allows multiple docks, each customised to suit your exact needs.

What's new in this version:

Added extensive support for importing drawers from Drop Drawers X in partnership with Sig Software. DragThing is now the official upgrade path for Drop Drawers, and a special discounted price is available to registered users.
Added two new dock themes by Martin Harding: HUD Panel and Light Panel.
Added an option to move drawers completely offscreen when they are minimised, just like the Apple Dock.
Added an option to maximise drawers when you move the cursor over them even when they are obscured by other windows.
Added an option to only maximise drawers when the cursor is at the edge of the screen.
Added an option to minimise drawers when you click at the edge of the screen.
Added support for the Vienna RSS reader.
You can now align tabs anywhere within a dock, not just at the beginning, middle or end. Hold down Command and click and drag the tabs to move them.
You can now set window translucency separately for minimised and maximised docks.
Made it easier to resize docks by clicking and dragging at the edges.
Improved display of text styles in clipping edit windows.
Fixed a problem pasting clipping items using hot keys in some applications.
Fixed a problem converting URLs to clipping items.
Fixed a problem with custom dock theme settings not being saved.
Fixed a problem with the colour of the running application indicator for some layer styles.
Fixed a problem playing old System 7 sound files.
Fixed a problem drawing the Anodised Aluminium dock theme.
Fixed a rare crash when clicking on docks with layer transitions enabled.
This is a free upgrade for registered users of DragThing 5.

I've been using DT for eons.

I think this software and its developer should be used by other developers as benchmarks for quality, usefulness and reliability.

I've never had any issues with this software and its customisation means I can set it up just how I like it and just get on with using it.

Outstanding.

I'm using DT for 10+ years ... in my opinion is one of the best examples of useful, elegant, very-difficult-to-live-without applications. Timely and effectively updated when needed, no useless 'upgrades'. Thank you!
