we "can" create subdock for even program items too.
It can be very confusing.

The little arrows are ugly and are jumping around the icons,
it is hard not to confuse subdocks accidentally .

You can, but you don't have to... For some, the fact that you can is a plus, as you don't have to sacrifice a dock icon just to open a sub-dock. Either way, I understand what you mean - that worked well with non-magnifying docks, not so good with magnifying docks as it makes the sub-dock marker move all over the place when mousing over it.

Tell you what: I'll add a setting to v11.5 to make that optional.

I couldn't drag an item into the recycler, because a submenu for the recycler had been created when I'd tried.

I think you were using a 'Show Recycler' internal command instead of the Recycler module. Either way, that's been fixed in v11.5 too.

a solution would be good what prevents dragging icons out of the dock accidentally.
because whenever the dock is unlocked and i move an icon accidentally just a little, it disappears.

That too has been fixed in v11.5. It would happen if you accidentally initiated a drag & drop operation on a shortcut in the dock when your intention was to click on it.

Thank you , it will be cool.

And what about the priority of custom icons?

I mean, when I change all of the explorer window icons generally,
then I can't change one of them on the base of window name. because the
more general rule overrides the less general one.

(I know it is not as simple as I described it, because if the priority
would be the opposite, then there would be cases, when an other application
would share the same window name.)
Some kind of nested rule would be good.
(explorer + window name for example)

Another Problem with the Nexus Dock !!!

I cannot turn off 'Show dock when mouse bumps screen edge'
If the option is unchecked, the dock behaves the same.
So I can't make the dock rely only on shortcut keys.

(I'm keep on searching for overlapping(overriding) settings, but
i can't find one.)

is it some kind of settings file corruption?

That option is actually gone in v11.5. What it does is show and activate the dock (i.e.; bring it to the foreground) whether the dock is hidden into a screen edge or not. This can be a bit disruptive at times if the dock is simply behind another window, so I removed the option and in v11.5 you can assign a hotkey for that instead.

However, even in v11.5, a dock that is hidden into the screen edge (e.g. auto-hide is turned on) will *always* respond to a screen edge bump in that area.
