This is (slightly) off topic: it is a developer question, but not
really Cocoa specific.
When I work on a project, I have quite often two dozen files open (not
in PB, but in my own editor).
To unclutter the screen, I miniaturize most of them. This makes the
files go into the Dock, and makes the Dock difficult to use.
So I would like to have a few new options:
1. Do not show files in the directory "Desktop" on the desktop.
(there is a dwrite for this, but since 10.2 this results in Finder
crashes, Bug reported, is since 6 months in Verify state)
2. Do not put miniaturized files into the Dock.
3. Put miniaturized files on the desktop.
Is there some tool, which can do this? Some Dock-replacement maybe?
And a now real Cocoa question: can I modify my editor, so that it does
not put its miniaturized windows into the dock?
The documentation says about miniaturize: "This action method removes
the receiver from the screen list and displays its counterpart in the
appropriate location."
So: is there a way to set the "appropriate location" from "Dock" to nil
or "desktop" ?
Or to set the "counterpart" to nil or to some icon with a size of 1x1
pixel?
Gerriet.
