The third dynamic dock is the Window Dock. Dragging anything onto this will allow you to copy, move, or create an alias of that file and not just at the root of the drive but anywhere within it, thanks to a hierarchical navigation menu. This dock will always contain all the currently mounted drives.

The second dynamic dock is the Disk Dock. Another thing I have noticed is that while for example you can drag any text onto the Safari Dock icon to have it Google that text, dragging text onto the Safari icon in DragThing has no effect.

Another difference is that the DragThing Process dock always sorts applications alphabetically. The only thing it doesn't do that the native dock does is show which applications are hidden. You can use to switch from one application to another, hide a certain application or hide other applications. This dock will grow and shrink on the fly to accommodate all your currently running applications. If you ever worked in Classic, this will be very familiar. The first dynamic dock is the Process Dock. This means that, much like the native dock, they change size and content dynamically without direct interaction on behalf of the user. The fist category of docks is that of dynamic docks. Thus one of the first programs that offered dock-like functionality, and although the OS X dock is an integral part of our everyday experience, there are still many things that DragThing can do to enhance the way you work.ĭragThing has four types of docks, grouped into two categories.
