Hmm you got problems with with your cached GS they are slow for network connections, as before, not only that but caught on camera there is a bug in it your losing icons.

Also the "?" Icons for power options is still not fixed.

Video to follow shortly.

Well, seems that I already caught the latest beta! All seems fine so far here. Test driving a folder and a regular GS.

At the end of the video why al the options permanently grayed out?
Also when creating a stack also grayed out if we are not allowed to use them then begone with them.



GS Stutter this happens very occasionally and not always in the same way.

I noticed that. Now stacks open at once when I click them after the dock is loaded.

You cannot set the path of a folder type Grid Stack from the item properties dialog, you must do it either via the right click 'Change Folder' or via the Grid Stack's Property dialog.

I thought it was nice to show the actual path in the Item Properties dialog, but since it seems to be confusing I will just remove showing it.



I already told you that Winstep applications should NOT be used with Networked items, and I already explained why too: the Winstep application is single threaded and Windows takes a very long time to retrieve information from the network.

If you insist on using the Winstep application with items on the Network, then you have to be prepared to live with those temporary freezes. This is not a bug, just the way it is.

Even when you open Explorer's Network Neighborhood window for the first time, you see it being populated very very slowly, item by item. The only reason that Explorer window doesn't also freeze/stutter is because Explorer is multi-threaded.

Its a part of the program Jorge If its a problem then remove the "network connections" option hehehe

If its available I will test it.

The option is available, it just comes with a caveat.

The only thing I'm complaining is that you are looking at this as a bug and it isn't.

Initially your GS displays the icon's correctly, as shown in another video they go to different places. Then on refresh, 'I dont know if its because they are named the same'!, you go and icon them the same, again no biggie the destination still works.

now its behaving normally (left my laptop running overnight as usual). it was specific to beta, no animations , win 7,

Gotcha, thanks. I know why that happens.

Jorge, I know I keep asking you to change this. I was hoping you changed it back to how it used to be with this latest WorkShelf update 18.11.1357. I'm going to show you why this is a serious issue for me that's been driving me nuts ever since you changed the:



This Shelf is docked to the right side of the screen. Look at the order of the folders/icons. I've highlighted in red how they're out of a coherent order. It's like this throughout the whole thing, of which, I have over 250 folders.

Right click on the tab header, select Tab Properties and post a screenshot of the dialog that pops up, please.

Here is the properties dialog for the docked right side WorkShelf tab.

Tabs of type Regular have no Sort Order (notice how Sort By is disabled in that dialog).

The items/icons in them are re-arranged manually via drag & drop.

This has NOTHING to do with whatever you were thinking it did, and I have a feeling you are again not using the Shelf as it should.

All those folders you dragged and dropped into that Shelf tab, aren't they all inside the same single folder? That is, don't you have a folder somewhere in your hard drive called 'MP3' (or whatever) that has *all* those folders inside of it?

EDIT: Nevermind. Those are not MP3 lol

Bottom line: Items in Regular tabs have to be sorted by hand, item by item. They are not intended for what you are using them here.

You would be much better off dragging all those folders into a single folder in your hard drive (say, Movies) and then creating a single tabbed Shelf with a tab of type Folder pointing at the Movies folder.

Then you would be able to automatically sort by name, date, etc...

Well, tried that, but just got the iconified version so obviously it needs some additional line in the config. Alas, can't see anything that remotely hints at a setting for this. Sorry to bother you Jorge, but desperate for help with this.

GridStacks working just fine with no problems whatsoever so far. Going to create a few additional ones of all the various types just to test. Would normally only use regular and possibly folder types.
