DragThing 2.5

Let's face it, there are certain applications and/or folders you use All The Time. How do you keep them handy? Is there anything you don't like about your setup? There are many tools out there known as "docks" that try to keep your everyday tools handy in an ever-present window. One of the most popular is DragThing, by James Thomson. Like the Apple menu, DragThing docks can be customized to give quick access to nearly any file or folder you use often. Unlike the Apple menu, DragThing can hold URL's for quick access to web pages and show a list of currently running programs. And in the mac tradition, nearly everything about DragThing's docks can be customized to work exactly the way you want it to. A true time-saver with modest demands on your system and a very reasonable shareware fee.

From the author:

DragThing is an application dock designed to tidy up the icons littering your desktop. Simply drag an application from the Finder onto an empty square in a dock and then drag documents onto it as normal. Click a docked application to launch it or bring it to the front. In addition, the docks can contain files, folders, disks and servers, and there is also an option to display the currently running processes in a special dock. You can have as many different docks as you would like, with very flexible settings for each one. You can choose the size of icons displayed, whether the names of the items are shown, and much more. Also, you can have multiple layers of items in docks, clicking on the folder tabs shown above to choose between them.
