Drag Thing for OS X

Feb 24, '01 11:53:08AM • Contributed by: robg

DragThing was my favorite launcher utility for OS 9. The author's been working on a new version to support OS X, and posted a screenshot back in December. A week or so ago, he posted some more shots (taken in OS 9) of the latest builds. Based on the screenshots, he's added some very nice features. He's also commented that he hopes to release the new version very close to March 24th's release of OS X 1.0.

This is great news (for me, at least) as the dock and DragThing together will make a great team to make OS X even more usable!

DragThing 4
Authored by: robg on Mar 04, '01 01:09:21PM

According to the DragThing website, DragThing 4 will ship on March 22nd. They've posted a new screenshot as well:

It looks quite impressive, and may wind up replacing the standard dock in my day-to-day usage of OS X!

Replacement for Dock as app switcher
Authored by: RobRix on Mar 09, '01 12:44:18AM

Personally, I find the Dock just marvelous as a launcher, as I don't really have that many apps/files that I want quick access to.
However, I find it most lacking as an application switcher...does anybody know of any switchers for OS X out there?

Thanks very much,

DragThing 4 for X
Authored by: chinacat on Mar 26, '01 09:27:34AM

It's out and it works just as well as in 9.X. In combination with the Dock, you've got a great combination. I've been using DT for years and James is one of the most responsive shareware authors in my experience. I've encountered one interface glitch -- in the IE 5.1 Preview, you can see the "tool tips" for the Drag Thing dock through the title bar and tool bar. I've alerted the author and he's looking into it.
