First patch since launch. Everything in here came from issues people opened after trying 1.0.0.
Download Aero.Dock_1.0.1_x64-setup.exe below and run it. It installs per user, no admin needed. Windows will show a SmartScreen box because the installer is not signed. Click More info, then Run anyway.
Fixed
Windows Search and the Start menu showed up as running apps (#7)
The dock treated shell surfaces as if they were windows you had opened. Filtering now matches on process name, window class and package identity, and drops ApplicationFrameHost frames that carry no AppUserModelID.
Open file location opened Documents (#5)
Explorer needs its /select, path quoted inside a single argument and passed through verbatim. The old call was escaped in a way Explorer answered by opening Documents. Packaged apps now open the Apps folder, and a pin whose target is gone falls back to the parent folder.
Reordering lagged behind the cursor (#6)
Drag momentum and elasticity are off, neighbours move on a stiffer spring, and the icon you grab snaps to its base size at drag start instead of animating down while your cursor sits on it.
Some icons rendered much smaller than the rest (#4)
Apps that ship only a 16 or 32 px icon, like Core Temp, are now cropped to their drawn pixels and scaled up, so every tile carries the same optical weight.
Changing icon size distorted the aspect ratio (#3)
Non-square icons are padded instead of stretched, at any dock size.
Both icon fixes need the cache rebuilt, so the cache is versioned and regenerates itself on upgrade. Nothing to clear by hand.
Auto-hide hid the dock mid drag and drop (#1)
The one moment the dock moved out from under your cursor on purpose. It holds still now while files are being dragged onto it.
Quit was hard to find (#8)
Settings has a Quit button next to the settings file controls, and the tray menu's Quit sits below a separator so it is harder to hit by accident. Both restore the Windows taskbar before exiting, so an unclean shutdown cannot leave you without one.
Changed
Configurable auto-hide delay (#2)
Settings, then Dock. Anywhere from 200ms to 5 seconds. It was pinned at 1.4 seconds before.
Built-in dock items can be turned off (#9)
Search button, settings button, clock and date, and the battery, network, volume and Recycle Bin glyphs. Settings, then Dock items.
Search and settings icons redrawn as glass (#10)
Gradient body, specular highlight, seated centre, so they sit next to your app icons instead of looking pasted on. They still take their colour from the active theme.
Upgrading
Install over 1.0.0. Your settings and pins carry over, and the new options pick up their defaults. Config still lives at %APPDATA%\com.aerodock.desktop\settings.json.
