Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Either make the app restore the Tiger Dock functionality in Leopard or just stop saying this:

"OldFolder is an application that revives the pre-Leopard dock's hierarchical menu interface for folders".

....because it flat out doesn't. HierarchicalDock is actually closer at mimicking Tiger's dock functionality than this one is and that one doesn't get any cigars either.

Look...I realize this is free...and thanks for the effort....but it is a buggy app (drag a folder onto the app icon and watch it crash) and doesn't permit a folder to be placed back on the right side of the dock. Instead, we get a running application and no right click for hierarchic menuing...like it was in Tiger. This is my objection to the feature blurb. It simply doesn't revive the pre-Leopard dock interface.

The app I want to see lets Apple have their moronic eye-candy fan/grid crapfest with left clicking (which it does now) and the restored functionality of right-clicking for hierarchic menuing while losing the forced contents folder icon. I'd pay money to get that back.

Either it does or it doesn't - friedchikkin

The program's author makes clear via your own quoting [of said program's author] what the expected limitations of this software are but not limited to. You are making a logical connection but I believe that's why the [author's] words are chosen so carefully.

God knows best.
